However, the issue of rape has not been fully addressed, especially by anthropologists in the mid-twentieth century. The purpose of this article is to address the issue of rape by men amongst the AmaXhosa communities of King William’s Town (known today as Qonce) in the 1950s and 1960s. This is done by using interviews recorded and transcribed by Percy Qayiso, a Black interlocutor and research assistant. Qayiso’s interviews, which initially focussed on “morality,” included rape testimonies and perspectives on rape. Although this article makes use of primary sources from the mid-twentieth century, the arguments presented about violence against women and their bodies resonate in contemporary discourse. Some contemporary scholars have articulated two aspects related to this article. First, liberal anthropologists like Phillip Mayer used Black interlocutors without properly citing their contribution and therefore forced them to exist in their shadow. Secondly, the rise of gender-based violence towards female persons in South Africa has had scholars from different schools of thought seeking ways to trace the genesis of this widespread phenomenon. While historians have not dominated academia in this regard, this article attempts to articulate perspectives related to violence against women.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"20 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49405220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its central argument is that medical missionaries of the Church of the Nazarene enhanced proselytisation in Swaziland (present-day Eswatini) through the provision of medical care and the training of Swazi nurses who doubled as “nurse-evangelists.” The article explores the proselytisation strategies employed by the medical missionaries. These strategies included the use of medical missions as centres of proselytisation, and the training and use of Swazi nurses in proselytisation. The analysis of how nurses trained at Ainsworth Dickson Nurse Training School used their training demonstrates that although these African agents did not receive the heroic praise given to white medical missionaries, they instigated proselytisation especially in rural Swaziland in the period under review. Lastly, the article reveals that the training of Swazi nurses was evangelical and it examines how it affected the nurses’ work. Using narratives of lepers from the Mbuluzi Leper Hospital, the article illustrates the correlation between missionary medicine and proselytisation.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"53 1","pages":"20 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45339376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case of Mozambique is unique. It was in Dar es Salaam that FRELIMO (Front for the Liberation of Mozambique) was born in 1962; but the great Mozambican nationalist Edward Mondlane was assassinated in the same city in 1969. This paper presents the ruins of the FRELIMO camp in Nachingwea, Tanzania, to elaborate the state of preservation of the monuments and how such preservation may contribute to sustainable peace between these two neighbouring countries. There are recognisable photographs and written historical documents concerning FRELIMO in both Mozambican and Tanzanian libraries, museums, and archives. Adding the landscape as another layer of evidence juxtaposes the limitations unveiled in other sources; enhances our understanding of the activities that took place during exile including those of the subalterns (residential houses, food carriers, couriers, recruiting sergeants and foot soldiers); and underlines the process of how sites of African liberation struggles are remembered and memorialised.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"53 1","pages":"65 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49142507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research generally discusses political dynamics, political systems, political culture, and reconciliation with a political approach. The study of politics in the Mamluk Dynasty is not new. Robert Irwin discussed the political system of Mamluk (Irwin 1986) and Jo van Steenbergen analysed the political culture in the Mamluk Dynasty between 1341 and 1382 (Van Steenbergen 2006). Political dynamics in the Al-Nasir Muhammad Ibn Qalawun period were discussed by Levanoni (2021). Reconciliation after Holy War in the Mamluk Dynasty with a political approach has also been discussed comprehensively by Amitai (2013). In this laudable book, Merheb offers Islamic political thought as a new perspective on the Mamluk Dynasty. Political thought plays a crucial role in the construction of governance as the idea behind the governance pattern and application of law in the Mamluk Dynasty. This book comprehensively discusses the transition from the late Ayyubid to the early Mamluk Dynasty and thoroughly explores the political thought that flourished in both dynasties. Books written by a number of figures during that period were used in the writing of this work. Through these authors, Merheb analyses the implementation of the paradigm in governance performance.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"87 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46512142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Mass Democratic Movement (MDM) in South Africa played a short-lived but important role in political mobilisation before the transition from authoritarian rule to democracy through drawn-out negotiations (1991–1994). The MDM may be seen as the last phase of defiance against apartheid that forced the National Party (NP) to the negotiating table towards a new democratic order. This contribution argues that MDM activities reflected numerous strategies to achieve its objectives. Insights gained from transition theory that gained prominence as a theoretical tool during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and Maoist and other revolutionary theories explore the role of the MDM within the contemporary political context. Insights from transition theory in this article are used as a heuristic tool and not as political prescription in contrast to revolutionary theories that are built on programmes of sociopolitical action aimed at instating a new order.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"31 - 61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49644988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
