The Imperial Experience in Sub-Saharan Africa since 1870
The Imperial Experience of Sub-Saharan Africa since 1870
Horton and the Idea of Independence
In viewing the map of West Africa, and tracing out those political communities which are not due to the agency of more civilised politicians, we affirm that there are amongst them fixed and established Governments, although rude and barbarous; that the obedience to the supreme power in many cases is implicit, the right of property is enforced by adjudicature; and, although the power of the supreme head has been used with extreme despotism, as in …
Earl Grey’s Proposals for the Gold Coast
The extension of roads and of schools much beyond what could be accomplished by the means at present available, the employment of a greater number of magistrates for the more perfect administration of justice, and the establishment of hospitals and dispensaries for the relief of the sick would have been attended with obvious and great advantage. But these objects could not be attained without a large increase of expense, and Parliament had always…
The Abiding Meaning of ‘Africa for the Africans’ in the Age of Imperialism
Europe has not yet conquered native Africa; this is daily becoming patent, and the difficulties in the way of effecting this subjugation are varied and multipliable. The experience of the Germans in their contest with the Hereros in the Southwestern portion of the continent, has disclosed to their cost... the knowledge of what this means. England is not less fortunate, as the troubles in Natal would testify to, and the difficulties existing in bo…
Africa for the African
Africa is the negro's home. No foreign race has ever been able to expel him from it. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Persians, Romans, Vandals, Arabs, have all brought war into Africa — have all, from time to time, made descents upon the continent or settled on its coasts; but none have been able to penetrate the intertropical regions, and take possession of the negro's home. In modern times, Anglo-Saxon and Celt have formed colonies on all parts of …
Fanti National Constitution
In the Spectator of December, 1895, a writer on the future of Africans asked: - 'Why, then, have they never risen, never developed a civilization, never learned that permanent obedience to a code which enables men to aggregate themselves into mighty, and up to a certain point improving, communities? Why — for this appears to be the truth — has their point of arrest arrived so quickly that they have been unable to remain at it, and have time after…
From Gold Coast Native Institutions with Thoughts Upon a Healthy Imperial Policy for the Gold Coast and Ashanti
It so happens ... that when the people think themselves seriously affected by the provisions of a given Bill, they resort to the expediency of getting themselves represented by counsel in the Council Chamber. For the rest, they allow legislation to pass over their heads by default. The right of the people to present petitions is admitted in theory, but in practice, if the petition is ever attended to by the Council, the attention is given after t…
Letters on the Political Condition of the Gold Coast
'Rome was not built in a day;' the proudest kingdom in Europe was once in a state of barbarism perhaps worse than now exists amongst the tribes chiefly inhabiting the West Coast of Africa; and it is an incontrovertible axiom that what has been done can again be done. If Europe, therefore, has been raised to her present pitch of civilization by progressive advancement, Africa too, with a guarantee of the civilization of the north, will rise into e…
