Download or read book The Politics of Senegambian Integration 1958 1994 written by Jeggan Colley Senghor and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the experience in state-managed cooperation and integration between The Gambia and Senegal. Specifically, it examines the nexus between national politics in The Gambia and inter-state cooperation in Senegambia; that is, the impact and implications of politics in The Gambia on the process of cooperation with Senegal in functional areas. The Senegambia case is a microcosm of the African dilemma of reconciling the ideological imperative of African unity and regional integration, recently enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and the primordial reality of protecting national statehood and particularistic interests. The experience is instructive in many ways. It is indicative of the problems that arise in any scheme to promote integration between countries with distinctly different colonial heritages. The Senegambia case demonstrates that integration is more problematic after statehood has been achieved, if only because the rewards of statehood are more immediate whereas those of integration and unity are more distant. Then also this case demonstrates that integration can be perceived as a threat to national sovereignty by one or both parties; in fact, sovereignty is often very fragile in these states and is jealously guarded. Finally, the experience reveals the complexities and intricacies of achieving union between African states and demonstrates the tension between constructing a national political state and responding to the demands of inter-national economic integration.

Download or read book Mandingo Kingdoms of the Senegambia written by Charlotte A. Quinn and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of societies in the throes of violent change. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the Mandingo states of the Senegambia were ripe for revolution. A decaying ruling elite confronted an aggressive, prosperous, and dissatisfied element within the population. Islam and a resurgent European commercial community created within the society new stresses and forces of change. The civil strife that characterized the second half of the century bore many resemblances to contemporary revolutionary upheavals elsewhere in the world, and interference by European interests in the processes of decay and renewal in the Senegambia resulted in many of the same patterns of weakness and disorder of the local society as those that followed intervention by major powers in Asia and Africa during the twentieth century. In such cases, support by an outside power given to one side of a revolutionary confrontation often results in an enervating dependence of the favored protagonist. Darkened by the shadow of a more powerful political force than any on the local scene, the spontaneous evolution of a new order from within the society is frustrated. A prolonged and bloody struggle drags itself out until interference is suspended or until a "solution" is dictated from without. -- Preface (page xiii).

Download or read book Portuguese Style and Luso African Identity written by Peter Mark and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2002-12-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this detailed history of domestic architecture in West Africa, Peter Mark shows how building styles are closely associated with social status and ethnic identity. Mark documents the ways in which local architecture was transformed by long-distance trade and complex social and cultural interactions between local Africans, African traders from the interior, and the Portuguese explorers and traders who settled in the Senegambia region. What came to be known as "Portuguese" style symbolized the wealth and power of Luso-Africans, who identified themselves as "Portuguese" so they could be distinguished from their African neighbors. They were traders, spoke Creole, and practiced Christianity. But what did this mean? Drawing from travelers' accounts, maps, engravings, paintings, and photographs, Mark argues that both the style of "Portuguese" houses and the identity of those who lived in them were extremely fluid. "Portuguese" Style and Luso-African Identity sheds light on the dynamic relationship between identity formation, social change, and material culture in West Africa.
