Images of Exploration in Africa: The Art of James Augustus Grant on the Nile Expedition of 1860-1863
African History at Makerere in the 1960s: A Further Perspective
As two expatriate academics who taught at Makerere in the 1960s (RB 1960-64; MP 1964-67), we were naturally interested in the article, “Building an African Department of History at Makerere, 1950-1972” in HA 30(2003), 253-82. The story Carol Sicherman has to tell is an important one and she has produced a well-documented and forcefully delivered account. It is to be hoped that she will be able to bring out a complete history of Makerere, which is…

Quest for the Jade Sea. Colonial Competition around an East African Lake
Explorers' Texts and the Problem of Reactions by Non-Literate Peoples: Some Nineteenth-Century East African Examples
The interior of Africa, south of the equator, still remains in our best maps a blank; yet our information respecting that portion of the earth, scanty as it may appear, is sufficient, when aptly analysed and combined, to shed a flood of light on a very interesting region. The chief physical features of that hitherto dark interior, and those most likely to operate on the social condition of mankind, may be made to shine forth with incontrovertible…

Europeans and East Africans in the Age of Exploration
This paper discusses the role of explorers in East African history. Their im? mediate impact was limited but their historical connection with later imperial moves and African adaptations to Europe is worth examining. The Royal Geographical Society, which was closely concerned with all the major ventures, had genuine scientific motives only remotely connected with economic designs. Nevertheless, an analysis of the Society's membership suggests tha…

The Sponsorship and Financing of Livingstone's Last Journey
David Livingstone's last venture in Africa lasted from 1866 to 1873. It fascinated contemporary observers and has since called forth numerous studies by biographers and historians, because so many elements seem involved: the epic of one man's struggle to fulfil his destiny, the culmination of the exploration of the dark continent, the beginnings of serious missionary enterprise in East and Central Africa, the campaign against the slave trade, and…
