Extractions: Back to Top Printer version The founding of the 'Association for Promoting the Discovery of the Interior Parts of Africa' in London in 1788 introduced a new era of exploration of that continent. This 'Africa Association' was created by the zeal and enthusiasim of Joseph Banks, supported by an informal group of wealthy men. The original aim of the Association was discovery, although commerce and the halting of the slave trade later became equally important. Exploring Africa in the nineteenth century was a hazardous enterprise. A cornucopia of tropical diseases awaited the explorers, also major natural hazards and extreme climates were forever present, and the ferocity and unreliability (and equally their generosity and kindness) of some locals made venturing into Africa only for the brave. It was not until William Baikie, a surgeon travelling with a Niger expedition in 1854, proved that the use of quinine was an effective prevention of malaria.

Extractions: T. Coraghessan Boyle 's Water Music Matthew Henry In arguing that history does not exist except as text, it does not stupidly and "gleefully" deny that the past existed, but only that its accessibility to us now is entirely conditioned by textuality. We cannot know the past except through its texts. Linda Hutcheon (1988) The value in this alternative (i.e., postmodern) approach is two-fold: it undermines both the traditional belief in a singular historical "reality" and the traditional hierarchy that values history (fact) over literature (fiction). Postmodern historical novelists wish to expunge such traditions in favor of views that are less rigid and that accept interpretation and indeterminacy in regard to history. Thus, their novels strive to highlight the subjective nature of the supposedly objective narratives of history and to underscore that these narratives offer not the truth but only a possible truth. Boyle is acutely aware of how both those directly involved in historical events and subsequent historians have rewritten the past to conform to individual or collective interpretations. His intent, then, is to reveal the fictionality of documented history. Thus, Boyle combines in his writings what has been traditionally separated and labeled as "fact" and "fiction," intentionally blurring and questioning the rigid distinctions between these two categories. In short, Boyle's task and practice is to self-consciously rewrite history through fiction to point out the relativity of textualized history and the fallacy of believing that historical texts embody a singular "truth." Such practice is at the basis of much of Boyle's writing, but I believe it is displayed best in Boyle's first novel

European Travel Accounts Of Africa - Bryn Mawr College Library clapperton, hugh, 17881827. Journal of a second expedition into the interior of Records of Captain clapperton s last expedition to Africa / by Richard http://www.brynmawr.edu/library/speccoll/guides/travel/africa.html
Extractions: Bryn Mawr College Library Special Collections Description Census of Related BMC Library Travel Literature Geographical Groups Africa remained largely unexplored by Europeans long after commercial, colonial, and missionary activities had been established in Asia and the Americas. Christian missionaries were among the first Europeans to venture into the interior of Africa, and occasionally they had their experiences published. A seventeenth-century example is Giovanni Antonio Cavazzi's Istorica descrizione de' tre' regni Congo, Matamba et Angola . Interest in Africa increased as the wealth of the continent's resources became apparent. In 1734, a time when the commodification of the African people depended upon their dehumanization at the hands of European colonizers, William Snelgrave wrote a formulaic description of European activity in Africa entitled A New Account of Some Parts of Guinea, and the Slave-Trade Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa is a case in point.

Portuguese Investigate Africa' Shelby County Ohio Historical Society Within a few years, Africas coastal regions became home to thousands of European Martin Liechtenstein, hugh clapperton, Richard and John Lander, http://www.shelbycountyhistory.org/schs/blackhistory/portuguese.htm
Extractions: With the exploits of Prince Henry the Navigator in the 1400s, Portugal was the first European country to go beyond the known limits of northern Africa, exploring the lower west coast and returning to Portugal with captured slaves and other riches. In 1442, the Portuguese began a trade that would not end until the 1800s; producing gold and slaves for the country. However, the Portuguese did not invent slavery. It dates back to the ancient Greeks keeping slaves, and Moses leading the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. With the founding of the African Association in 1788, many of these white explorers traveled throughout Africa under the auspices of this and other respected associations. The most famous and enduring of these illustrious explorers was the internationally renowned David Livingstone whose activities in the deepest regions of the continent proved invaluable in the mapping of Africa’s interior. His most famous recorded meeting, after the outside world had received no news of his whereabouts and feared for his safety, came when he was found by the American journalist/explorer Henry M. Stanley, whose infamous words on meeting Livingstone, " Dr. Livingstone, I presume?,"
Trans-Saharan Trade In 1824, hugh clapperton visited Kano, being again the first European in this city, who had left Tripoli in 1869 in order to explore Central Africa, http://www.hf-fak.uib.no/institutter/smi/paj/Masonen.html
Extractions: However, the notion that Africans have always been nothing but passive objects in their encounter with other civilisations, "having no interests to explore the world outside their own home village," is both oversimplified and ahistorical. The establisment and success of regular trans-Saharan trade, for example, was not possible without the active participation of West Africans who understood perfectly well, how to utilize the new opportunities offered by the commercial contacts to the Islamic world. Yet, in the authorized African historiography, this point is usually passed over with few words only. The regular commercial and cultural exchange between Western Africa and the Mediterranean world did not start properly until the 8th century AD. Yet the beginning of trans-Saharan trade was not such a sudden and dramatic event like the coming of Europeans to America, but it had a long history of sporadic encounters for more than 1000 years. When and how the very first contacts took place is still obscure, although their origins can be traced already to the prehistoric times. Archaeologists have, for example, found in southern Mauritania some copper objects of Hispano-Moroccan style, which are dated to the 11th century BC. The reciprocal action between Moroccan and Mauritanian prehistoric inhabitants was possible, for the northern and southern 50 mm isohyets are close together in western Sahara, forming there a kind of natural corridor along which the desert can be crossed.

A Kouka, ville que les voyageurs arabes surnomment "la Reine du Soudan", ils sont admis auprès du sultan El Khameni. Celui-ci les reçoit, enfermé dans une cage, tandis qu'un griot, poète et musicien, chante ses louanges au son d'une trompette en bois. Clapperton poursuit seul son chemin. A Sokoto il se lie d'amitié avec le sultan qui le dissuade de poursuivre son périple vers le Niger pour reprendre la route de Mungo Park et ne le laisse repartir que moyennant promesse de lui rapporter d'Angleterre des livres écrits en arabe. Il publie "Journal of Richard Lander from Kano to the Sea Coast" (1829) et "Records of Captain Clapperton's Last Expedition to Africa, with the Subsequent Adventures of the Author" (1830), le journal de l’expédition.
