In Brightest Africa (Classic Reprint) by Carl Ethan Akeley Pdf

Excerpt from In Brightest Africa Akeley came twenty-seven years ago into the midst of this unequal contest between the flesh and blood of the animal kingdom and the steel and lead of the sportsman, of the food and ivory hunter, and his sympathies were all on the animal side in the fight. If his sympathies had been on the human side he could not be the biographer of the African vanishing world who speaks in the pages of this volume, lost in admiration of the majesty of the elephant, the unchallenged reign of the lion, the beauty and grace of the antelope, the undaunted courage of the buffalo, and, last but not least, of certain splendid qualities in the native African hunter. We know of only one other sculptor who has immor talized the African Negro in bronze; this is Herbert Ward, whose splendid life work is now in the United States National Museum.

The Mother of All Living by Robert Keable Pdf

Excerpt from The Mother of All Living: A Novel of Africa But that was not quite all. There was another message in the reeling miles. Sometimes they spun through the thick forests of wattle plantations, the trees gleaming silver in the sun that filtered between their leaves, and she took in every detail - the piled logs in the clearings, the stripped bark arranged in long rows to dry, the acres of young trees, and the burnt patches of old ones. But there lurked a mystery, it seemed to her, in those lonely plantations. Or again they climbed out on to the hills of a native reserve, and she looked out over the undulating veld, the rounded kopjes and the deep-cut valleys. Little patches of unfenced cultivation clung to the sides of them, and on the crests clustered the brown thatched huts silent and deserted in the sun. She wanted to get out and look in. At school, the girls had listened entranced to her casual references to 'boys' and black folk, but back here the fact that she was living among an alien race who set her standard of conventionalities at defiance, suddenly confronted her as a new thing.

White Man's Africa (Classic Reprint) by Poultney Bigelow Pdf

Excerpt from White Man's Africa White man's africa is a very small portion of the great Dark Continent, stretching from the Cape of Good Hope for a thousand miles or so northeastward along the Indian Ocean. As compared to the whole continent, it reminds one of the thirteen united colonies of Amer ica in 1776. Here is the only section of Africa where the white man has established self-governing communities. This is the New England of Africa, whose enterprising sons are doggedly conquering the wilderness step by step, carrying with them Christianity and constitution al government. These pioneers, whether we call them English or Boer, have in their veins the blood Of a com mon ancestry.

The Development of Africa (Classic Reprint) by ARTHUR SILVA. WHITE Pdf

Excerpt from The Development of Africa The African Question is in the main a geograph ical problem. In its initial stage - the conquest and development of African lands - we have to deal not so much with political as with geographical conditions. It is only after the latter are under stood that we can effectually control the former. Although not sufficiently competent myself to treat this geographical problem in a manner that might be regarded as authoritative, I have attempted to define the outlines of an inquiry into the subject.

In Search of Brightest Africa by Jeannette Eileen Jones Pdf

In the decades between the Berlin Conference that partitioned Africa and the opening of the African Hall at the American Museum of Natural History, Americans in several fields and from many backgrounds argued that Africa had something to teach them. Jeannette Eileen Jones traces the history of the idea of Africa with an eye to recovering the emergence of a belief in “Brightest Africa”—a tradition that runs through American cultural and intellectual history with equal force to its “Dark Continent” counterpart. Jones skillfully weaves disparate strands of turn-of-the-century society and culture to expose a vivid trend of cultural engagement that involved both critique and activism. Filmmakers spoke out against the depiction of “savage” Africa in the mass media while also initiating a countertradition of ethnographic documentaries. Early environmentalists celebrated Africa as a pristine continent while lamenting that its unsullied landscape was “vanishing.” New Negro political thinkers also wanted to “save” Africa but saw its fragility in terms of imperiled human promise. Jones illuminates both the optimism about Africa underlying these concerns and the racist and colonial interests these agents often nevertheless served. The book contributes to a growing literature on the ongoing role of global exchange in shaping the African American experience as well as debates about the cultural place of Africa in American thought.

Alone in Africa by Mathilde Keck Goy Pdf

Excerpt from Alone in Africa: Or Seven Years on the Zambesi In the year 1886, Mathilde Keck, now Madame Goy, was received as a pupil into the Huguenot Seminary, Wellington, Cape Colony. Her parents were French missionaries at Mabolela on the Free State border of Basutoland. They had been pioneers in that part of the country, and had lived for eighteen months in their waggon, until a home could be built. Hardship had only deepened their love for the Basutos and their desire to win them for Christ. Mathilde came to us an earnest Christian with a great desire to devote herself to winning the heathen for the Saviour who was so precious to her own soul.
