Guns in Africa - 1 views

    This is a piece of writing that entails of confidential conversations between consul Elton and the people above him that he reports to about the observations he had made and how concerned he is about the Zulu nation purchasing a lot of guns and gun powder which may backfire in the future. He is mainly concerned about the amount of guns being bought and the location that the Zulu nation is based in because it is basically based in a convenient location that is easily accessible and encircled by all the trading routes.

Guns, Race, and Skill in Nineteenth-Century Southern Africa on JSTOR.pdf - 3 views

  • The use of firearms has played a significant role in shaping the history of Southern Africa during the 19th century. In his article William K. Storey explores the impact of guns on the region's political and social landscape. Storey examines how guns were introduced to the indigenous groups in Southern Africa by European settlers and how the uneven distribujion of firearms created an imbalance of power. Furthermore, Storey delves into the ways in which gun ownership became a marker of status and skill, particularly for white settlers. He also highlights the role of guns in shaping relationships between black and white populations and the disparities that arose due to access to this technology.

      The Zulu people faced off against the powerful British Empire in what became known as the Anglo-Zulu War. The British army was equipped with modern rifles and artillery, and was expected to easily defeat the Zulu army, which was armed with little more than spears and shields.

      it was important to know how to use guns during the 19th century. While owning a gun was a indicator of status and power among African societies, it was the ability to use the gun effectively that truly distinguished one warrior from another. the journal suggests that the possession of guns may have actually led to increased violence and conflict among these societies, as warriors compete to prove their worth by demonstrating they skill on deadly weapon. Furthermore, the article highlights the role of European traders and hunters in teaching African communities how to use guns, thereby establishing a power dynamic where the former held the knowledge and expertise necessary for successful gun use. Overall, this article sheds light on the crucial role that skill played in shaping gun culture in Southern Africa, and highlights the complex social and political dynamics that underpinned its development.

      East African ivory is ideal for carving, and was always in great demand. it figures prominently in the earliest reference to trading activities on the East African Coast.

      The carving of ivory into ornaments predates even gold and other jewelry. In India, ivory is mentioned in the Vedas and there have been many pieces down the ages depicting religious icons-Hindu and otherwise. It has been carved into boxes, statues, necklaces, bangles and so on.
  • By consequence, the complex development of the ivory trade enhanced Indian economic control along the East African coast.
  • As a result, India became a large importer of ivory that had been transported from the African interior to the Swahili East African c o a s t.

      This marks a change in how elephants were poached, my Jstore article states that poachers used an axe to extract ivory from elephants, it was in the 19th century we see the use of guns, which id s a fast process to kill elephants.

    This is a source from Taylor and Francis. It talks about the participation of East African societies during the late nineteenth century. Furthermore, it shows how ivory was an economic and political activity in East Africa during the nineteenth century. It also shows how the ivory trade led to a decline in the number of elephants in East Africa. This is the PDF version, I experienced technical difficulties when trying to annotate it from the original database. But inside this PDF I annotated evidence to show this document was downloaded from the UJ database.

  • In 1971, the historians Shula Marks and Anthony Atmore wrote that during the colonial period South Africa became a “gun society.” They suggested that “the role of firearms in southern African society deserves at least one major study.” 1 Their challenge is taken up by the present study, which focuses on the history of South Africa prior to 1910
  • This book does more than assess the influence of guns over historical outcomes, as other scholars have done. It explores the ways in which people involved guns in changes in society, politics, and ecology.
