A Galician Family in Peace and War
A corner of the vanished world of Galician Jewry emerges from 104 postcards brought to America from Poland by the central figures of this family collection—Jacob and Matylda Schiff Sicherman. World War 1 is central to the story: Jacob served in the Austro-Hungarian army, while Matylda coped with two small children amid the uncertainties of war. Discussion of the cards' languages—German, Polish, Yiddish, and Hebrew—and analysis of their images and…
Building an African Department of History at Makerere, 1950–1972
Once upon a time, in the euphoric 1960s, a new generation of historians of Africa undertook to write the history of Africa and Africans through the ages, overturning previous Western suppositions that Africa had no precolonial history worth investigating. As J.D. Hargreaves has written, they were “excited by the challenge to apply their craft to the continent which Hegel had judged ‘no historical part of the world’.” Among the explorers of the la…

Ngugi's Colonial Education
Of course [after graduation from high school] some things go, whistles, lights-out, uniform, parades, prefects,...and yet all the central ideas go on. There will still be chores to be done, and done well, without grumbles; there will still be the need to discipline, for men who can obey and can therefore—when called upon—rule...(Francis 1957, 2). What we are practicing at Makere, day in and out,...is the subversion... of the African mind; the bre…

Coriolanus
Coriolanus and Cordelia have one trait in common: both reject formal public utterances. Cordelia, begged by Lear to speak her love before the Court, replies only: Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave / My heart into my mouth (I.i.93-94); she is banished. Coriolanus, begged by Menenius to entreat the citizens' love, protests: I cannot bring / My tongue to such a pace (II.iii.54-55); 1 he is banished. Yet this considerable similarity seems as adventit…
