Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TAZARA (Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority), or Freedom Railway, from Dar es Salaam on the Tanzanian coast to the Copperbelt region of Zambia, was instrumental in fostering one of the most sweeping development transitions in postcolonial Africa. Built during the height of the Cold War, the railway was intended to redirect the mineral wealth of the interior away from routes through South Africa and Rhodesia. Rebuffed by Western aid agencies, newly independent Tanzania and Zambia accepted help from China to construct what would become one of Africa's most vital transportation corridors. The book follows the railroad from design and construction to its daily use as a vital means for moving villagers and goods. It tells a story of how transnational interests contributed to environmental change, population movements, and the rise of local and regional enterprise.

Download or read book The Night Trains written by Charles Van Onselen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seminal book reveals how black labor was exploited in twentieth-century South Africa, the human costs of which are still largely hidden from history. It was the people of southern Mozambique, bent double beneath the historical loads of forced labor and slavery, then sold off en masse as contracted laborers, who paid the highest price for South African gold. An iniquitous intercolonial agreement for the exploitation of ultra-cheap black labor was only made possible through nightly use of the steam locomotive on the transnational railway linking Johannesburg and Louren�o Marques. These night trains left deep scars in the urban and rural cultures of black communities, whether in the form of popular songs or a belief in nocturnal witches' trains that captured and conveyed zombie workers to the region's most unpopular places of employment. By tracing the journeys undertaken by black migrants, Charles van Onselen powerfully reconstructs how racial thinking, expressed logistically, reflected the evolving systems of segregation and apartheid. On the night trains, the last stop was always hell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a descriptive travelogue of the author's rail journey following the historic "Cape to Cairo" route envisaged by Cecil Rhodes more than 100 years ago as an exercise in British imperialism. While construction of the rail link was never completed in totality, most of the distance can be covered by passenger trains, in varying degrees of comfort and cleanliness, immersing the traveler in African life on the train and in the passing scenery along the railway line. Rail travel descriptions are richly enhanced by historical sketches of railway development in each country and many anecdotes of previous travelers, explorers and railway builders that formed African railway networks as they exist today. The story begins with the author's telling of his first arrival in South Africa in 1981 for a three-year contract that became thirty. Southern Africa was still a favorite haunt of steam locomotive enthusiasts, particularly along the route between Kimberley and De Aar and the Bulawayo - Victoria Falls line. However, most of the trains included in this travelogue were pulled by poorly - maintained diesel - electric motive power. Journeys were fraught with mechanical failures (several hours standing in the desert, just outside of Khartoum North station) and by non-operational signal systems (throughout Zambia). Keeping to the timetable was accomplished more strictly in the southern part of the continent (South Africa/Botswana/Zimbabwe) but began to deteriorate moving northward with Sudan being the worst time - keeper with a 13 - hour delay. But the point was not to arrive dead on time but to enjoy the somewhat dubious distinction of riding some of the dirtiest trains on the planet with thieves as traveling companions while at the same time crossing some most interesting topography and finding many amiable and personable Africans as travel mates. These journeys were mostly pleasurable to "endure", intensely interesting and challenging to put down on paper and hopefully, the reader will share the enthusiasm of the author in "living" these journeys through the words set down in this book.
