Toward an Optimum Yield: Science, Technology, and Fisheries Development in Lake Malawi, 1930–1964
In the late colonial period, fisheries science and colonial development programs converged in blueprints to better exploit marine resources throughout the British empire. Yet, the historiography of science and colonial development has focused predominantly on the management and exploitation of terrestrial resources with only limited investigation of parallel schemes focused on marine and freshwater resources. Centering on the final decades of the…
Fishing (in) the past to inform the future: Lessons from the histories of fisheries management in Lake Malawi and Mbenji Island
Without historical interrogation of past and present fisheries management, governors and their sponsors often fall into the trap of replicating and reproducing failed approaches. Even when aimed at community empowerment, a lack of historical awareness can lead to underappreciation of the institutional, economic, and socio-ecological contexts that resource users navigate. In this article, we explore the history of fisheries management in Lake Mala…
Colonialism, Governance, and Fisheries: Perspectives from Lake Malawi
This piece explores the parallel development of two fisheries management regimes in mid-twentieth-century Lake Malawi: one imposed by the British colonial government over the lake and the other by Senior Chief Makanjira focused on Mbenji Island. The parallel development of these regimes provides opportunity for close analysis of how fisheries management centred on different knowledge and practices led to distinctive legacies of governance legitim…
Rain and the colonial streetscape: Reading for water in Freetown’s newspaper archive
Situated on the tip of a mountainous peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa, the city of Freetown, Sierra Leone, receives an extraordinarily high rainfall, heavily concentrated in the few months of the rainy season. Working from this extreme wetness and inspired by recent work in the oceanic humanities, this article reads Freetown’s colonial era newspaper archive for water. It argues that the heavy rain of the …
Representing Freetown: Photographs, maps and postcards in the urban cartography of colonial Sierra Leone
This article traces the development of the colonial cartography of Freetown, Sierra Leone across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The historiography of colonial cartography has centred the surveyor and the map in the capture and control of land. This article, instead, describes colonial cartography in the accretion of a variety of forms of spatial representation created by diverse intermediaries in the colonial project. The chro…
