    This is a book that explains how the different parts of South Africa were colonized by the British and the different European settlements in South Africa were determined by what the specific location could offer for example fertilized soil that is good for crops and the beautiful scenery of Cape Town some landscapes were too good to be true and other parts were desolated . The Britain climate could not sustain crops because it was either too hot or too cold, this led to them wanting to colonize South Africa which eventually led to the war.

  • The story that Guy tells is one of dispossession, as the Zulu were deprived of their lands and their independence by both the Boers and the British. It is also a saga of betrayal of the Zulu by the very people to whom they turned for advice and assistance, beginning with William Grant who was trusted by Harriette to protect Zulu interests in their negotiations with the Boers, but who instead was responsible for the legal document in terms of which the uSuthu surrendered vast tracts of the kingdom to the New Republic. This was the most damaging single event of the 1880s for the fact that the uSuthu had signed away part of the kingdom was to be used against them in the following years to justify the dispossession. Guy quotes a telling comment by the Natal Governor, Sir Henry Bulwer: ‘If Mr Grant and the other friends of the uSuthu party had been the bitterest enemies of that party, I venture to say that they never could have inflicted on the Zulu country one-half ofthe injury which was the result of their friendship’ (memorandum by Bulwer, 14 January 1886, quoted on p. 105). Bulwer’s successor, Sir Arthur Havelock, pointed even more explicitly to the Colenso involvement in Grant’s intervention: ‘[The alienation of nearly half of Zululand was] not effected by me, but by the Zulus themselves, advised by a counsellor sent

      So the Zulu Kingdom were betrayed by people they trusted to help them with support on the battles they were in. But turned out not reliable and turned against them when needing help and lost a large part of their land because they were defeated.

  • During the colonial period, this practice of manipulating projectile weapons by magical means was applied to firearms.
  • Despite this, it is clear that because the Korana stored their ammunition with medicines there was some continuity between beliefs in traditional, and adopted, projectile weapons.
  • Pre-existing beliefs relating to weapons were not all that informed and shaped the understanding and experience of firearms for these ‘Bushmen’ of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They also looked to the destructive power of nature within Khoe-San ontologies to situate firearms within their world view. Notably, a link emerges between storms, lightning and firea

  • Taking the links between projectile weapons and rain-control, in indigenous southern African epistemology, into account (Sinclair-Thomson and Challis 2017), I suggest that the painting of firearms in rock art was another form of control, one which sought, by incorporating new material culture into existing epistemologies, to either ensure, or defend against the effects of gunfire.

    This source comes from Francis and Tyler. It is based on the eighteenth century, it entails how the 'bushmen' worked with the new material culture into their own ontology during fights. Instead of merely relying on guns, they manipulated the trajectory of projectile weapons through magical practices and ritual observances. This includes lightning , rain control and firearms.

      the elephant tusks came from Salem ,Mass and Providence then they are used to make combs. I will paraphrase the process of making combs which will make you understand why such combs were expensive. The tusk is cut into circular blocks and then cut again into the length of a comb or a pianoforte key, as required. The exterior " husk " that has the ivory is then cut out, and the blocks are marked with a lead pencil as needed, depending on the size of the combs. The strips for combs are then cut off with a fine saw under close supervision. Following that, a very clever sorting machine separates them into sizes ranging from one to four inches and puts them in boxes circled by an unending leather belt. The combs are bleached in the bleach houfles ,and polished on a smooth wheel using a cotton cloth soaked in some unknown treatment (which has been substituted for buckskin). After each three dozen combs are polished, the wheels must be dressed. The comb is then sized, followed by the most delicate of all operations, cutting the teeth. This is accomplished using imported saws that are as finely tempered as the thinnest paper and as thin as the thinnest paper--so thin that they cut from forty.

      The company that manufactures the combs, and pianos, made a lot of money which in exchange resulted in high demand for ivory so that they can produce the materials that I mentioned. This leads to high numbers of elephants being killed which the author put as hunting and described as exciting. This might be the reason we have people poaching rhinos today because poaching animals was not seen as illegal or immoral

  • 25 Ethiopia connected the Nile Valley with the maritime space and was a hub for the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean trades, and for the Ottoman world. There were three main outlets for slaves in Ethiopia: Mätämma on the Sudanese border, Massawa catering for the Red Sea trade, and Taǧ ū ra for the Indian Ocean. 26

      This information informs us about the involvement of Ethiopia in the Indian Ocean Slave trade. It explains to us how Ethiopia participated in Slavery and slave trade by providing hubs for the transportation of the slaves that would come from East Africa and travel via the Indian Ocean route.
  • Child tributes were levied on lesser landlords of the region, and on the subordinate peasant population unable to pay tax in another form. 43 With the center demanding all sorts of tributes, šayḫ Ḫ waǧ alī increasingly raided the population, and he “revived the slave raiding and hunting, and gold mining using slave labor . ” 44

      It is elaborated that not only did Ethiopia participate in the global slave trade but it also practiced slavery locally by enslaving children who were traded by their families who could not pay taxes. Ethiopia used those children along with other men and women to do domestic labor for the Royals, economic activities( gold mining and cultivation)
  • Ǧ imma was not based on “tolls and dues” from the slave trade, but instead that “slavery, as opposed to the slave trade, could be said to have occupied a crucial position in the economic system of the kingdom.” 5 1 He characterizes Ǧ imma as a slave economy, “in which slave labor signifijicantly afffects the production process.” 5

      This extract informs us that some villages in Ethiopia such as the Gimma village did not rely on trading slaves to other country but they relied in slavery because they used the slaves as laborers to produce in the country and strengthen the economy of Ethiopia. Slavery benefited the economy of Ethiopia because the slaves were efficient and low cost labor which meant that costs of production would be low and the country would make more revenue out of the economic activities that were performed and in that was the economy was stimulated by slavery.

  • Black intellectuals and activists in the Americas rejected the idea of slavery existing in Ethiopia: Ethiopia, the beacon of Pan-Africanism and the archetype of many black identities could not be a slave society. 83 Sla very must belong only to European imperialism and the American plantations, and not to this territory, royalty, and lineage enshrined in the Bible. Following that logic, Ethiopia, a state that promoted and hosted the foundation of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, could not be associated with issues of servitude and exclusion. Even in the 1980s, when a military junta ruled the Ethiopian state, the Därg gave much attention to the tyranny of the former regime, and radically transformed the system of land tenure, but the complexities of local slaving societies were overshadowed by the “national question” and the liberation of cultures from the feudal order. Class distinctions as well as political afffijiliations obstructed the discussion on slavery. Ethiopian intellectuals, who have so often been at the forefront of social and political change, seem to be still refusing the idea that slavery

      This paragraph conveys that Ethiopia was not meant to have participated or have been involved in stimulating slave trade from the on going because Ethiopia was the learner of the Organization of African Unity therefore it was supposed to have been African representatives and fight against African enslavement instead of acting as a mediator of the global trade slave. It further explains tells us that the Ethiopian government denied that Ethiopia participated in slavery, however, written resources evidence that Ethiopia was indeed involved in slavery and some researchers concluded that in some part of Ethiopia slavery is still practiced till this day.
