Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Congo to the Niger and the Nile, Vol. 2: An Account of the German Central African Expedition of 1910-1911 They were in a great panic, probably not so much from any special affection for me, but rather because they feared that without me they would never reach their distant homes in Togo and the Cameroons. A litter was brought, and at a funeral pace we followed the bearers to camp, which was fortunately not far off, in a tiny Sara hamlet composed of only seven huts. The chief was a gigantic man with a good humoured face, and he seemed disposed to be friendly. He brought me some fresh milk and a couple of eggs, and by the evening I felt well enough to sit in a deck chair in front of my tent. My bearers had once more taken French leave, and the chief declared that he could supply only seven men, whereas I required at least twenty-five. I was exceedingly angry. Not with the natives for refusing to act as carriers; one could hardly blame them, seeing that the money they earn is of very little use to them; neither did I resent Captain Cross' action in sending me without a military escort, for he did not realise the conditions prevailing here, and could have no idea of the difficulties I was to encounter. But I felt embittered against the red tapists who sit in their comfortable offices and preach humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Niger to the Nile, Vol. 2 of 2 They are a nomad robber tribe, who live in the French Sahara beyond the River Yo, where they lead a camp life, and their only industry is rearing sheep and cattle, the wool and skins of which they bring to the markets to exchange for corn. No doubt their flocks and herds are raised from the animals they carry off on their raids across the river into Bornu. Also we have seen that they kidnap women and children when they get the chance, and sell them to the Budumas for slaves. They are armed with long spears and ride camels and small ponies, on which they are accustomed to travel very great distances, concentrating quickly at the point where a raid has been determined upon, and scattering to disappear as suddenly when they are met by too strong a resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fernando Po, home to the Bantu-speaking Bubi people, has an unusually complex history. Long touted as the "key" to West Africa, it is the largest West African island and the last to enter the world economy. Confronted by both African resistance and ecological barriers, early British and Spanish imperialism foundered there. Not until the late nineteenth century did foreign settlement take hold, abetted by a class of westernized black planters. It was only then that Fernando Po developed a plantation economy dependent on migrant labor, working under conditions similar to slavery. In From Slaving to Neoslavery, Ibrahim K. Sundiata offers a comprehensive history of Fernando Po, explains the continuities between slavery and free contract labor, and challenges standard notions of labor development and progress in various colonial contexts. Sundiata's work is interdisciplinary, considering the influences of the environment, disease, slavery, abolition, and indigenous state formation in determining the interaction of African peoples with colonialism. From Slaving to Neoslavery has manifold implications. Historians usually depict the nineteenth century as the period in which free labor triumphed over slavery, but Sundiata challenges this notion. By examining the history of Fernando Po, he illuminates the larger debate about slavery current among scholars of Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...numbers of wooden calabashes full of cooked plantains and green vegetables were ready for my "boys," and so overdone was the native hospitality that at last, much to their disappointment, I had to refuse it, for it began to tell upon some of the "boys," who took to sleeping off their surfeits by the wayside. All the chiefs I met with had two or three soldiers, armed with converted flint-locks, of which there must be a large number in the country. The men have in them the making of good soldiers and show a ready appreciation in the way they handle their rifles when saluting the white man. It follows, of course, that powder and caps are the best trade goods for this country; the latter are strictly forbidden, but apparently everywhere used. A box of one hundred caps will fetch more than twenty times its cost price. Only flintlock guns are allowed to be imported, but they are easily converted afterwards; the natives will not look at one that is not. After leaving Buaddo I entered a virgin forest of considerable extent which brought to mind recollections of my experience in the tropical forests of Ashanti. On entering the forest the first sensation is one of grateful coolness and shade after the glare and heat of the sun and a sudden relief to the eyes as the field of vision becomes restricted, but soon the gloom, that catches no relief from the dark opaque leaves of the trees and heavy masses of pendent creepers, becomes monotonous and oppressive. After steady marching till noon, in answer to my question, "Koddero yongolo '" (" Village far? ") my guide replied, "Peppe" ("No"), and soon bunches of poles, which the natives had been cutting for building their huts, told us that we had...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Niger to the Nile, Vol. 1 of 2 Just as before the actual accomplishment of our journey when, impatient to be moving upon the way, we had to tarry many tedious months while the scheme and its arrangements were being thought out, weighed, and put in order; so it is with the narrative which attempts to set forth the history of this Expedition. It will be necessary, I fear, to keep the reader waiting for the plain, progressive story of our travels, while an account is given of the somewhat tedious details of constitution and equipment. The scheme was germinating in my mind for many years. The idea did not come as a sudden impulse to be acted upon as one might take a ticket to the farthest point upon a line. It was rather the result of a succession of thoughts leading naturally one from the other till a chain was linked with such perfect sequence that it stimulated the imagination to put it to the test.
