Courageous but insolent”: African soldiers in the Dutch East Indies as seen by Dutch officials and Indonesian neighbours
Labour shortages were endemic in colonial societies. Plantation and mining labour was notoriously unattractive, but the army posed problems of its own. In their search to satisfy the voracious appetite for labour in commercial empires and colonial societies, rulers developed racial and ethnic stereotypes as to which “race” was most suitable to perform certain jobs. Africans were deemed most suitable for hard physical labour in tropical climates. …
Belanda Hitam: The Indo-African Communities on Java
Most of the successive groups of African immigrants to the Indonesian archipelago have disappeared without trace, or at least without leaving recognisable descendants. The Belanda Hitam or Black Dutchmen are the one exception. Belanda Hitam was the Malay name given to some 3,000 soldiers from West Africa who were recruited for the Dutch colonial army between 1831 and 1872, and to the Indo-African descendants of these African soldiers and their In…

Goa conference on the African diaspora in Asia
Some 80 scholars from four continents as well as representatives from African communities in India gathered from 10 to 14 January 2006 in Goa, India, for the first-ever conference on the African diaspora in Asia held on Asian soil. After Joseph Harris's pioneering efforts, following the First Congress of African Historians convened by UNESCO in 1965 in Tanzania, no major initiatives had been undertaken to bring various strands of research on Afri…
Vanguard or Vandals: Youth, Politics and Conflict in Africa
This book contains a range of original studies on one of the major challenges in Africa today: the controversial role of youth in politics, conflict and rebellious movements. The issue is not only the drafting of child soldiers into insurgent armies or predatory militias, as in Somalia, Sierra Leone or Congo, but, more generally, that of the problematic insertion of large numbers of young people in the socio-economic and political order of post-c…
The tricontinental voyage of Negro Corporal Manus Ulzen (1812-1887) from Elmina
Cet article relate les pérégrinations de Manus Ulzen, jeune homme originaire de la ville d’Elmina en Afrique de l’Ouest, qui s’enrôla en 1832 dans l’armée des Indes néerlandaises. Sa carrière militaire le conduisit à Java et Sumatra, puis aux Pays-Bas, où il demeura un an dans un hôpital pour se faire soigner d’une blessure à la jambe reçue au cours d’une campagne militaire à Sumatra. Fondé sur des documents d’archives détaillés, l’article montre…

African mutinies in the Netherlands East Indies: A nineteenth-century colonial paradox
Between 1831 and 1872, the Dutch government recruited 3,000 Africans from the Gold Coast and Ashanti (Ghana) for service in the colonial army in the Netherlands East Indies. The majority of them were ex-slaves but were promised that their conditions of service would be the same as those of Europeans. With the 'equal treatment' clause, the Dutch government defended itself against British accusations that the recruitment operation amounted to a cov…

One Chief, One Vote: The Revival of Traditional Authorities in Post-Apartheid South Africa
During the apartheid era, chiefs were maligned as puppets of bantustan rule. In ANC-related circles, it was widely assumed that chieftaincy would not survive in the post apartheid era. But the institution of traditional leadership has proved highly flexible. Rather than being phased out as relics of pre-modem times, chiefs are re-asserting themselves in the new South Africa. Chiefs have survived throughout this century with a strategy of shifting…
From confusion to Lusaka: The youth revolt in Sekhukhuneland
After a series of rebellions in the 1950s, the South African Bantustans remained largely quiescent. Only after the formation of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in 1983 did rural areas once more become the scene of widespread protest and resistance, as revolt spread from the townships to remote villages in the Bantustans. However, rural organisation was a much neglected issue in the programme of the UDF's national leadership. The process of rura…
La révolte de la jeunesse dans le Sekhukhuneland
Revolt of the youth in Sekhukhuneland. Throughout the analysis of youth movements in Sekhukhuneland, the extreme disarticulation of the south african social fabric becomes apparent. Within a context of economic crisis, the rural youth in Sekhukhuneland revolt on the basis of a strong generational conscience founded on the hasty absorption of caricaturised ready made ideologies. Throughout this case analysis, it is the social explosion of South Af…

Le United Democratic Front en Afrique du Sud: Un Mouvement De Transition
Les années 1980 en Afrique du Sud peuvent être caractérisées sous bien des aspects comme une période de transition, et l'UDF a été le vecteur principal des changements intervenus pendant cette période qui a commencé avec un héritage important de Black Consciousness et qui s'est terminée par la ré-affirmation de l'ANC et de ses alliés comme la force dominante de la vie politique noire.

Since then, countless books have appeared with similar titles. The Rhodesias having become part of independent Black Africa, …
