The Making of Wage Laborers in Nineteenth Century Southern Africa
This essay illuminates the worldwide transition to free labor from various forms of unfree labor by examining that process in the particular conditions of Southern Africa's encounter with Britain. Dr. David Livingstone's servants—whose descendants in Malawi have been called “Magololo,” 1 a term used throughout this essay to distinguish them from the “Kololo” conquerors of Bulozi in contemporary Zambia and parts of Namibia—exemplify this global de…
Food, Time, and History
In the African countryside, food has a social biography which is both linear and cyclical. According to the golden-age theory, every member of the community deserves access to food, while the alternative perspective argues that not all members enjoy those rights. Both theories fall within what Stephen J. Gould called "time's cycle" or "the intelligibility of timeless order and lawlike structure." As components of time's cycle, the alternative vis…
Eating in Class
In May to July 2010, food historians from across the world gathered virtually to share experiences of teaching food history. The complete, unedited version of our conversation will remain available for public view at www.groups.google.ca/group/rhr-radical-foodways. We encourage Radical History Review readers, students and teachers alike, to continue these discussions online.While food historians can and do make claims that food, like other curric…
Feeding and Fleecing the Native
Failed states in Africa are not a uniquely postcolonial phenomenon: The colonial government in Nyasaland started and ended as a failed state. Although effective in guarding Britain's global interests against her imperial rivals, the Nyasaland government could not be relied upon as a trustworthy ally of any social class within the country. The government failed to provide essential services, particularly roads, with dire consequences for both the …

Work and Control in a Peasant Economy
Peasants in southern Africa have too often been portrayed as technologically backward, chronically underemployed, and politically passive. Such views, says Elias Mandala in this finely particularized study of the lower Tchiri Valley in Malawi, partake more of myth than reality. Peasants are first and foremost laborers, he points out, who spend most of their lives working with their hands to meet basic human needs. In making labor the center of hi…

Capitalism, Kinship and Gender in the Lower Tchiri (Shire) Valley of Malawi, 1860-1960
During the past two decades Africanist scholars have come to recognize the importance of changes in gender relations in the larger process of class formation and, in particular, have examined Engels' attempt to locate the dynamics of sexual subordination in the rise of capitalism and the state (see, for example, Robertson, 1984; Sacks, 1979). Thus, while noting the prior existence of various forms of female oppression in precapitalist Africa, the…

Peasant Cotton Agriculture, Gender and Inter-Generational Relationships
During the colonial era, pre-capitalist social and economic institutions in Nyasaland (now Malawi) underwent profound change as the result of the incorporation of the country's societies into the world capitalist economy. This essay explores the change in the day-to-day relationships between men and women and between the elders and the youth in the Tchiri valley of colonial Nyasaland from 1906 to 1940. The development of cotton as a cash crop was…
