Catholic evangelists offered benefits such as education as well as threats of spiritual punishment to convert Fang people. However, Fang men and women often rejected these demands. While Fang men tried to maintain polygamy as a sign of successful manhood, women often rejected their spouses. At the same time, missionaries relied on Catholic lay Fang catechists in their work. Male catechists often violated the marital ideals of the missionaries, but they also successfully promoted Catholic conversions. Ultimately, rural Estuary communities selectively appropriated aspects of Catholicism, even if relatively few followed Catholic teachings on marriage.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"62 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44608511","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}

If the “nation” is an imagined community, as Benedict Anderson asserts, then the Gold Coast was a product of colonial discourse merging varying interests into a multicultural nation. The article explores why the Northern Territories lagged in influencing that imagined consciousness until 1951. I argue that a multiplicity of factors constrained the north’s contribution to the burgeoning national consciousness of the Gold Coast. The constriction was a function of colonial intentionality, distinct constitutional and political set-ups, economic policies, and the social circumstances in the protectorate. This work adds to our understanding of colonial northern Ghana and how structural disadvantages absented it from early colonial political and constitutional discourses that produced Ghanaian nationhood.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"1 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60242410","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}

Existing scholarship has dealt with the experiences of some 1820 settler wives who left accounts of their experiences. However, Sophia Pigot has not been the subject of historical research. Based on her journals, this article seeks to fill this gap. Although Sophia’s journals seem to be an unworthy historical account due to their short entries, repetitious style, and seemingly mundane details, they reflect her preoccupation with maintaining a genteel lifestyle in the eastern Cape. The article examines some of the challenges that she encountered in this respect. The article builds on the growing body of scholarship on how British women maintained gentility in various colonial settings.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"28 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43050978","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}

Focusing on the period 1980 to 1985, it discusses how the advent of independence in 1980 engendered tensions between the Zimbabwe African National Union–Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF) government and chieftaincy. Through a series of legal and policy instruments, the new government transferred the little power chiefs had over grassroots land and judicial processes to bureaucratic and party functionaries. Literature has largely emphasised the state's “socialist,” modernising, and democratising agenda to explain this emasculation of chiefs. However, this article foregrounds political motivations, whose base lay in colonial history, and argues that this was also a punitive response against chieftaincy's entanglement with the colonial state, particularly in the era of mass nationalism. Using archival records, newspapers, interviews, and parliamentary debates, the article demonstrates continuity in the manner in which the post-independence state related with chiefs: as in the colonial era, the relationship continued to be defined by the political interests and strategies of the governing regime.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"47 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43379779","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}

Before the 1980s, African footballers were an integral part of sports labour migration to North America but this topic has evoked little scholarly interest in the history of football migration. This paper analyses the movement of African football talents, particularly West Africans, to leagues in the United States from 1967 to 1984. Data on this period of migration is lacking. The paper further provides insight into how the promotion of football by Nkrumah interplayed with political, social, and economic influences on the African continent. Firstly, it discusses several reasons behind Ghanaian players’ decision not to go abroad to play professionally after the country‘s independence in 1957 under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah. Secondly, it analyses the state of football in Ghana after Nkrumah was overthrown, especially from the perspective of the national team players and its consequences on their livelihood. The continued decline of the game in Ghana after 1966 resulted in several players migrating to the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 1968. This further explains some adverse effects after Nkrumah was toppled. This paper concludes by bringing to the understanding of readers the continent‘s political icon who used sport as a vehicle to champion African unity via the mantra of Pan-Africanism.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"1 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42466881","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}

“Little More than Rich Soil?”: The Anatomy and Politics of the Cape Bat Guano Trade, 1890–1920 “只不过是肥沃的土壤?”:1890–1920年巴特关诺角贸易的解剖与政治

Located in relatively inaccessible and geographically dispersed caves on the Southern Cape coast and following a long struggle to be acknowledged as a useful fertiliser, the product became part of and contributed to the generation of continuous conflict between the colonial authorities, local farmers, and entrepreneurs about cheap guano. Aided by farmer-politicians, bona fide farmers and horticulturists continuously agitated for access to a cheap fertiliser while local businessmen with an interest in deriving some income from its exploitation fought for the right to free and unrestricted access to the resource. Resolution of this matter became far more difficult with the dawn of the Union of South Africa where the need to integrate new discoveries in Transvaal resulted in the need for a national policy and a central administration as well as common quality standards. Although relatively low-key and less dramatic, the battle for access to bat guano mirrored that of the seabird guano trade. This article attempts to properly contextualise this branch of the international guano trade and to describe the dynamic interaction between the conflicting parties around matters such as access, policy, and profit. In this regard, it explores and tries to make sense of both the mechanisms used and compromises concluded to ensure the workability of the system during the first two decades of the twenty-first century.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"72 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49483566","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}
