Africans
In a vast and all-embracing study of Africa, from the origins of mankind to the present day, John Iliffe refocuses its history on the peopling of an environmentally hostile continent. Africans have been pioneers struggling against disease and nature, but during the last century their inherited culture has interacted with medical progress to produce the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. This new edition incorporates genetic and…

In a vast and all-embracing study of Africa, from the origins of mankind to the AIDS epidemic, John Iliffe refocuses its history on the peopling of an environmentally hostile continent. Africans have been pioneers struggling against disease and nature, and their social, economic and political institutions have been designed to ensure their survival. In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same inst…

The African Poor
This history of the poor of Sub-Saharan Africa begins in the monasteries of thirteenth-century Ethiopia and ends in the South African resettlement sites of the 1980s. Its thesis, derived from histories of poverty in Europe, is that most very poor Africans have been individuals incapacitated for labour, bereft of support, and unable to fend for themselves in a land-rich economy. There has emerged the distinct poverty of those excluded from access …

Persecution and Toleration in pre-colonial Africa
When Christian missionaries penetrated sub-Saharan Africa during the nineteenth century, three main persecutions of their converts caught the attention of Europe. The earliest took place in Madagascar between 1837 and 1857, when several hundred converts attached to the London Missionary Society were killed. The last of the three occurred in the Buganda kingdom of East Africa and culminated on 3 June 1886 when some 26 Baganda Christians were burne…

The Organization of the Maji Maji Rebellion
This article examines the organization of the Maji Maji rebellion of 1905–7 in German East Africa, utilizing Professor T. O. Ranger's analyses of other rebellions in East and Central Africa. The rising began in the Rufiji Valley as a peasant protest against a scheme, imposed by the German authorities, for communal cotton growing. But like other African rebellions against early colonial rule, the movement acquired an ideological content from proph…

Poverty in Nineteenth-Century Yorubaland
It is widely believed that pre-colonial Africa south of the Sahara had no problem of poverty (and no beggars or ascetics) except in those few areas which already possessed intensive agriculture, literacy, world religions, and classes with stratified subcultures. This article uses the records of missionaries and evangelists living in nineteenth-century Yoruba towns to demonstrate the existence of paupers, beggars, ascetics and (with less certainty…

Tanganyika Under German Rule 1905–1912
The history of Tanganyika from the Maji Maji rebellion of 1905 (the greatest African rebellion against early European rule) to the last years of German administration. It examines a colonial situation in depth, ranging from the processes of change in African societies to the decisions of policy-makers in Berlin. In the aftermath of rebellion an imaginative Governor, Freiherr von rechenberg, initiated a programme of African cash-crop agriculture. …

An Indigenous Capitalism?
Roger Anstey's major work was on the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade.1 He chose to study one of the most contentious issues in modern history, an issue still capable of arousing powerful emotions. Through the contention and the controversy he took a narrow, winding, subtle path, seeking to weigh and connect the elements of abstract principle, national interest, personal advantage, and political skill which together brought about the aboliti…
Capitalists and Peasants
In the nineteenth century the few elements of African capitalism that existed in sub-Saharan Africa were confined almost entirely to commerce, crafts, and the towns, except in the south. European conquest transformed this pattern. Admittedly, it is mistaken (although common) to think that African craft industries were everywhere destroyed by the competition of European manufactured goods, for many West African textile industries still flourish to…
Capitalists and Politicians
I began these lectures by asking whether African capitalists have been able to establish themselves as a creative force in their societies and, if so, whether their capitalism has taken distinctive forms when compared with other continents. This last lecture will consider the development of urban capitalism in Africa since the Second World War, especially the growth of manufacturing industry. It will ask whether the characteristics and problems o…
