Book Migration of the Nubi Community into Eastern Africa

Download or read book Migration of the Nubi Community into Eastern Africa written by Dr. Yahia Ibrahim Said and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to discuss the situation of the Nubi Community in Eastern Africa, which is considered as a unique phenomenon in the region. Their history of migration goes back to the late 1823, during the Anglo-Egyptian colonial rule in Sudan. They were at first reflected as Slaves and recruited as soldiers, guards, and porters loyal to the British crown, and later enrolled in the British King’s African Rifles’ (KAR) battalions of East Africa to safe-guard the colonial interest, and these soldiers were known as “Sudanese askaries”, recognized as formidable warriors and most faithful. Indeed, their ancestors have originated from various tribes of Sudan, particularly from the territory of southern Sudan. They had amalgamated together, and in-ter-married with the native population in their new settlement areas, and in the process these natives have to adapt the Nubi’s culture. Consequently, they created a homogeneous tribal group named Nubi. This is how they multiplied themselves with dignity in east Africa, but without inherited homeland.

Book excerpt: What happens when digital innovation meets migration? Roaming Africa considers how we understand modern-day mobility in Africa, where age-old routes strengthen the resilience of people roaming the continent for livelihoods and security, assisted by mobile communication. Digital mobility expands connectivity around the world, and also in Africa. In this book, the authors show that mobility, resilience and social protection in the digital age are closely related. Each chapter takes a close look at the migration dynamics in a specific context, using social theory as a lens. This book adopts a critical perspective on approaches in which migration is regarded merely as a hazard. Edited by distinguished scholars from Africa and Europe, this volume, the second in a four-part series Connected and Mobile: Migration and Human Trafficking in Africa, compiles chapters from a diverse group of young and upcoming scholars, making an important contribution to the literature on migration studies, digital science, social protection and governance.

Book Slavery in the Great Lakes Region of East Africa

Download or read book Slavery in the Great Lakes Region of East Africa written by Henri Médard and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-16 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavery in the Great Lakes Region of East Africa is a collection of ten studies by the most prominent historians of the region. Slavery was more important in the Great Lakes region of Eastern Africa than often has been assumed, and Africans from the interior played a more complex role than was previously recognized. The essays in this collection reveal the connections between the peoples of the region as well as their encounters with the conquering Europeans. The contributors challenge the assertion that domestic slavery increased in Africa as a result of the international trade. Slavery in this region was not a uniform phenomenon and the line between enslaved and non-slave labor was fine. Kinship ties could mark the difference between free and unfree labor. Social categories were not always clear-cut and the status of a slave could change within a lifetime.

Book Ethnicity  Democracy and Citizenship in Africa

Download or read book Ethnicity Democracy and Citizenship in Africa written by Samantha Balaton-Chrimes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an ethnic minority the Nubians of Kenya are struggling for equal citizenship by asserting themselves as indigenous and autochthonous to Kibera, one of Nairobi’s most notorious slums. Having settled there after being brought by the British colonial authorities from Sudan as soldiers, this appears a peculiar claim to make. It is a claim that illuminates the hierarchical nature of Kenya’s ethnicised citizenship regime and the multi-faceted nature of citizenship itself. This book explores two kinds of citizenship deficits; those experienced by the Nubians in Kenya and, more centrally, those which represent the limits of citizenship theories. The author argues for an understanding of citizenship as made up of multiple component parts: status, rights and membership, which are often disaggregated through time, across geographic spaces and amongst different people. This departure from a unitary language of citizenship allows a novel analysis of the central role of ethnicity in the recognition of political membership and distribution of political goods in Kenya. Such an analysis generates important insights into the risks and possibilities of a relationship between ethnicity and democracy that is of broad, global relevance.

Download or read book A History of Modern Uganda written by Richard J. Reid and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first major study in several decades to consider Uganda as a nation, from its precolonial roots to the present day. Here, Richard J. Reid examines the political, economic, and social history of Uganda, providing a unique and wide-ranging examination of its turbulent and dynamic past for all those studying Uganda's place in African history and African politics. Reid identifies and examines key points of rupture and transition in Uganda's history, emphasising dramatic political and social change in the precolonial era, especially during the nineteenth century, and he also examines the continuing repercussions of these developments in the colonial and postcolonial periods. By considering the ways in which historical culture and consciousness has been ever present - in political discourse, art and literature, and social relationships - Reid defines the true extent of Uganda's viable national history.
