      IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT EMPHASIZES THE IMPACT OF CHRISTIANITY ON SLAVERY AND BLACK SUFFERING.
  • When you combine problematic tropes around Blackness, with White exceptionalist forms of hermeneutics, linked to White European notions of manifest destiny, you have the ingredients for a toxic residue of epistemology that sees Black people as “the problem”. 17 This ethic of White mastery over those who are deemed “the Other” becomes the basis on which the roots of a colonially inspired capitalism is at play, in which Blackness becomes the demonised other that has to be conquered, subdued and economically exploited.
  • For many Diasporan Africans, the search for a positive self-esteem has been found from within the frameworks of the Christian faith. Faith in Christ has provided the conduit by which issues of identity and self-esteem have been explored. This search has been helpful at one level, as the frameworks provided by conversion and an alignment with God in Christ has confirmed a new spiritual identity on Black people, but the extent to which this new formulation of the self has affirmed the materiality of one’s Blackness is, however, open to doubt. 35

  • This means that if you are a Christian slave owner, you have can faith in Christ and still own slaves, as God is only interested in your soul, which is preserved through faith in Jesus. Your actions on earth are another matter, however. For the enslaved Africans, faith in this same Jesus guaranteed salvation in heaven but not material freedom here on earth for the same reason as that given for the justification of the actions of slave masters.

      ALSO IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW CHRISTIANITY WAS USED TO KEEP BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE UNDERDEVELOPED. THE BIBLE WAS TEACHING THEM TO ALLOW ANY EXPLOITATION HAPPENING TO THEM BECAUSE THEY SHOULD SEEK SALVATION IN HEAVEN AND NOT ON EARTH THROUGH MATERIAL THINGS.
  • 6 The effects of such biased, self-serving instruction are still being felt - the continuing tendency of Black people to internalise their feelings of inferiority, coupled with an accompanying lack of self-esteem
  • When Caribbean migrants came to Britain in the post-Windrush era they brought with them this legacy of spiritual wisdom from Africa, via the Caribbean. Upon arrival in the UK and encountering the hardships of economic deprivation and systemic racism, 46 what enabled many of them to cope with their experiences of rejection was a direct sense of God being with them; this “God with them” was seen in the form of the spirit that offers alternative ways of interpreting one’s experience and dealing with the reality of marginalization and oppression. 47

      The British army wanted to expand its region to the Indian side which was controlled by Zulus. The British planned on overthrowing the Zulus and take control of the Indian ocean side. There was an outbreak of the Anglo-Zulu war in 1879, as Zulus did not want to willingly give up on their land without a fight. Zulus used Spears and Shields and won the battle against the British.

    The political fragmentation of the Malawi chiefdoms in the course of the 18th century created a power vacuum that was exploited by new migrants who established new polities in the region. The first of these new comers were the Swahili who followed the trading routes across Lake Malawi pioneered by ivory hunter and traders such as the lowoka, whom they displaced as middle-men in the expanding ivory trade with the coast. New Swahili settlements emerged in the last quarter of the 19th century. A post was established in the Luangwa valley among the Senga in the late 1870s that engaged in trade in slaves and ivory with the expanding Bemba chiefdoms of north eastern Zambia. A Dutch Reformed Church Mission (DRCM) from the Cape Colony was founded in 1889 in central Malawi amongst the Ngoni and their Chewa subjects and over the next few years missions were planted by a plethora of Protestant denominations . Middlemen in the ivory trade between the Malawi and the Swahili settlements on the Indian Ocean coast in the 18th century, they settled in small groups in the highlands of southern Malawi from about the 1830s onwards amongst the Chewa, to whom they were culturally related, pushed by Lolo/Makua raids from the south

  • Reflecting on the situation in Tanzania, both slavery aftermaths and modern slavery still haunt our society. Modern forms of slavery can be witnessed in factories, farms, small businesses and side hustles, due to inexistence of effective labour protection policies and regulations.

      This article is essentially about the effects of the Zulu War, focusing on the non-combatants, people who did not fight in the war. It also discusses how the war went from being a war about liberation and against the Zulu King to a war against the Zulu nation, including its people

      The main point of the article is that the Zulu non-combatants were affected more by the war than the British for two reasons. Firstly the British non-combatants were far from the war and secondly, it did not affect their daily lives like the Zulu. The Zulu people had their daily lives affected as their livestock and crops were destroyed, affecting their economy
