British Hegemony and the Origins of Segregation in South Africa, 1901–14
This paper by Martin Legassick is one of three that the scholar and political activist presented to the Southern African Seminar at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, London University, in 1972-3. Though widely influential and often cited in academic works, none has been published before and all are ‘unfinished’. The historiographical importance of this paper lies in its location of the origins of segregation in terms of British imperial poli…
South Africa

Firearms, Horses and Samorian army Organization 1870–1898
The army of Samori Ture in 1887 was recruited from four sources: the regular army of sofa (infantrymen with firearms), the conscripted reserve of kurustigi , detachments sent by chiefs under Samori's protection, and a cavalry force consisting in part, perhaps, of volunteers. The emphasis on infantry rather than cavalry differentiated it from the armies of other nineteenth-century Islamic reformers. Among the factors which influenced the structure…
