Nigger Driver Brothers”
The voice of white managerial/working class[2][1] in colonial West Africa has long been silenced. While access to commercial archives, such as those of Ashanti Goldfields, the largest and one of the oldest European mining companies in Ghana,[3][2] holds promise for historians, the focus is on higher
The Performativity of Akan Libations
The act of libation contains a rich mixture of religious, social and cultural ingredients. It is a prayer to the ancestors and gods for their blessing; it is a social ritual binding together the members of the audience by emphasizing their common roots; it is a performance of oratorical skills; it
Arthur London, Chief Agent of Swanzy and Co
The European commercial history of colonial West Africa has been obscured by the paucity of primary sources. The ubiquitous Unilever Corporation swallowed up most of the companies involved in the West African trade, along with their records.' Colonial reports, replete with trade statistics, rarely refer to individual traders or companies. Commercial histories seldom delve beyond what can be gleaned from annual reports.2 Most of what has been writ…

British West Africa and Liberia
This chapter focuses on a few parts of West Africa, where by 1918 English was established as the principal language of government. The British West African possessions were constitutionally rather untidy multiple dependencies, consisting of older coastal settled colonies linked to larger hinterland protectorates. Rebellions in German East Africa and South West Africa, and scandals concerning the cruelty and immorality of officials in Togo and Kam…
Ritual Warfare and the Colonial Conquest of the Eggon
A great deal has been written about the colonial conquest of Africa, from the perspectives of both the conquerors and the conquered. Primary resistance has come and gone as an ‘in’ topic in African Studies. Yet to the extent that such literature deals with the colonial conquest, it has been within a structural-functional framework, focusing on social, political, and economic factors. Possible cultural and psychological aspects have been relegated…
Nigerian Groundnut Exports
Deforestation, the decline of the horse, and the spread of the tsetse fly and trypanosomiasis ( nagana ) in nineteenth century Sierra Leone
From the information presented above, it can reasonably be established that horses thrived on the Freetown peninsula for sixty years and the disease which eliminated them was T. brucei . This disease was prevalent for at least 15 years although it eventually disappeared, probably before 1900. In addition, clearance of the forest, in three overlapping phases, was carried out prior to and during the outbreak. From the ecology of the three species o…
An Unknown Nigerian Export
The article examines the factors which influenced Tiv initiative and response in the development of the Nigerian export production of benniseed or sesamum indicum . A trade hitherto largely ignored, it has been overshadowed by the Bohannans' classic account, with its emphasis on the subsistence aspect of Tiv economy. It is therefore presented both as a case study of the development of an African export commodity and as a contribution to the broad…
Nigeria
Enthnography and Administration
Colonial rule embodied as a concomitant aspect ideological justifications based on racial and cultural differences, acceptance of which by the governed led to the development of a symbiotic relationship between the cultures of paternalism and subservience, a symbiosis often involving numerous 'working misunderstandings' arising from the application of conceptual models which had proven meaningful under quite different circumstances. This article …
