The Importance of Place and Materiality in the Decolonisation of African History through Unesco’s General History of Africa (1962-1998)
In this article I discuss the issue of place in the creation of decolonised historiography and argue that the location from where a historian produces historiography matters in terms of both conceptual and ideological influences as well as in regards to material circumstances. Making use of a case-study on the UNESCO General History of Africa Project (1964-1998), I bring postcolonial critique on the conceptual nature of academic history writing i…
Hierarchies of Knowledge in the Making of Colonial Agricultural Science in Southeast Asia
Gender and Animals in History
Introduction to Classics in the History of the African Humanities
This theme section brings together introductions to some of the seminal texts by African authors that have shaped the African humanities from at least the twelfth century throughout Africa and until today. The section starts from the admittedly somewhat contentious idea that Africa should be treated as a historical unity. We note that this is itself a context-specific way of regarding the continent and do not negate the incredible diversity hidde…

Een historiografische verkenning van kolonialisme, koloniale slavernij en universitaire geschiedenis
A historiographical exploration of colonialism, colonial slavery, and university history This article explores the colonial dimension of the history of universities focusing on the Netherlands, but also making international comparisons. It concerns particularly the modern period, as the colonial connection grew during the late nineteenth century. Colonial knowledge was institutionalized by the imperial state and businesses, with universities host…

Gender and Animals in History
This exploratory introductory essay has thought about a gender in humananimal or animal sensitive history.It brings into conversation environmental history, natural sciences (ornithology, primatology), feminist science studies and queer ecocriticism.It explores the ways in which our shifting understandings of animals have contoured our understandings of our own species' gender and sexuality and, vice versa, human heteronormativity and sexism have…

Multiple Hamitic Theories and Black Egyptians
UNESCO’s eight-volume General History of Africa (GHA) was a politically engaged but scholarly endeavor that aimed to Africanize the writing of African history. It did so partly through an expulsion of historical explanations that hinged on the idea that greatness had been transported into Africa from the outside. This article shows how the GHA developed scholarly standards while at the same time grappling with the political tension inherent in a …

Introduction
Voetnootpraktijken
On footnotes Footnotes are a crucial part of the historian’s craft. Yet, they are often construed as no more than tools, used by historians, and scientists, to refer to sources and relevant literature. By looking at several student handbooks on history writing and recent studies on annotation practices, we argue in this discussion article that footnotes are more than simple references to other people’s work and that historians would do well to re…
From Metropole to Margin in Unesco’s General History of Africa – Documents of Historiographical Decolonization in Paris and Ibadan
This archival research report details the uses and disuses of UNESCO’s Paris archives of its General History of Africa . By looking in detail at what African historians have been doing as well as writing, we can reach a better understanding of the reality of African history writing in the immediate postcolonial era. That means taking into account the complexity of the archive; and using J.F. Ade-Ajayi’s archive in Ibadan as an example we can see …
