European courts protect women and witches: Colonial law courts as redistributors of power in Swaziland 1920-1950
The imposition of colonial law on Swaziland by the British administration in 1907 led to a reallocation of power among various elements and groupings of traditional Swazi citizenry. The main beneficiaries were young, educated women who resorted to the colonial courts for protection against the discriminatory justice of traditional chiefs' courts in matters of physical and sexual abuse, and of forced marriage. Among the greatest losers were those …

Homestead, State, and Migrant Labor in Colonial Swaziland
During the past few years, a number of researchers have begun to address the ways in which the rural periphery in southern Africa responded to its incorporation into the regional capitalist economy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their analysis has focused increasingly on the ways in which the agrarian structure and production of rural societies have both exerted influence on and been transformed by this incorporation.4 …

“I cry because the people cause me to cry about the Taxes...We have now to sell our children in order to get money to pay the Tax which is heavy.” [Labotsibeni, Queen Regent of Swaziland, 1906] “On these distant hills, catch the sun before its sets, you are mourned! I'm now just a song that everyone sings! I loved a young man, But they took him, he signed on at Mankaiana, Now I am ruined!” [Swazi women's working song, traditional] “It is sometime…

Lord Selborne and the British Protectorates, 1908–1910
The responsibility for the retention of the British Protectorates during the period leading up to Union lay more with Lord Selborne than with the British government as a whole. Governemental dealings (both Conservative and Liberal) with the Protectorates up to the era of Lord Selborne had been consistently heedless of the interests of the Africans involved. The key to the change in policy seems to have been Selborne's dealings with the Basutos. T…

Due to the efforts of the Peabody Museum and the Essex Institute, many of the papers relating to this American contact with Africa have been preserved. The collections include logboo…
