Abstract:

AbstractSOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London) Library is one of only five National Research Libraries in the UK and one of the most important academic libraries for the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The African Language Collection at SOAS is unique in the UK and Europe in terms of its linguistic span and significance. The Library seeks to acquire material in and on all languages present on the African continent, not just those taught and researched at SOAS. The range of material within the Main Library collection and the history of the collection will

Abstract:

The Collection In 2004, Smithsonian Libraries acquired the mixed-format Russell E. Train Africana Collection for its special collections division. This collection contained items that had broad public appeal and significant historical value. The collection’s diversity of materials has been a source of excitement and challenge since Smithsonian Libraries acquired it in 2004. Judge Russell E. Train created the collection around his decades-long fascination with the history of exploration and wildlife in Africa. Train acquired materials from historic figures like Theodore Roosevelt during his Afr

Abstract:

In essence, African political thought evolved as a result of colonialism and the anti-colonial reactions of first-order African elites. The debate among the episodic and the epochal school of thought over the place of colonialism in African political thought suggests that it took colonialism to inform the people of the continent that they were Africans. Also that Africa had a glorious pre-colonial past. It offered the diverse peoples of the continent a rallying point for unity. This unity was the basis of the anti-colonial reactions especially in the decade before political independence in Afr

Abstract Africa has some of the highest age adjusted cancer mortality rates globally and cancer incidence in Africa is expected to double by 2040. Despite this disproportionate burden of disease, African cancer patients are woefully understudied along the cancer continuum. People of African descent are significantly underrepresented in cancer research, accounting for less than 3% of globally available genomic data and are often the least well served by advances in precision medicine.To address this gap, we have initiated the African Cancer Atlas project.

The exsiccatae span three centuries, with the earliest specimens issued in 1845 and the latest in 2009. This indicates the long-standing exchange of material and transfer of knowledge between herbaria in South Africa and countries of the northern Hemisphere.

Rubin’s controversial exhibition Primitivism in 20th Century Art at MoMA (1984), art originating from Africa has begun to be more widely presented in museums with a strictly artistic profile, in contrast to the previous exhibitions which were mostly located in ethnograph

Abstract:

The collection owes its origin to the steps taken by the Colonial Office in the middle of the nineteenth century to acquire photographic material relating to Britain's overseas dependencies. Two dispatches, dated 29 and 30 November 1869 respectively, from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Governor of British Colombia, request that ‘photographic views of noteworthy buildings and scenery be transmitted to the Colonial Office’, together with ‘photographs of individuals of various races peculiar to the colony’. Many of the volumes of early photographs of public buildings in Canada, Au

Abstract:

There is a wide variety of reality shows in Africa. In this era of globalization, modern media had brought about social change and Africa's indigenous moral values and socio-cultural norms were in deep crisis. Reality shows in Africa have deepened this crisis. The moral values of decency, chastity, celibacy, and communion were sacrificed on the altar of promiscuity, romance, prostitution, and individualism. It follows from this that young Africans who form the media base of reality shows have been exposed to non-African values. Building on this publication, this study seeks to investigate the

The dataset has two peak collection periods: 1994-1996 and 2008-2012. The dataset collection spans five African countries: Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia; 98% of the data were collected in South

Abstract:

AbstractDespite the large number of collection rocords available, there has recently been some debate concerning how host-specific ticks are. A quantitative data set is presented for the host preferences of African ticks. The results are based on 43,615 individual collection records from published sources covering most countries in mainland Africa. Out of 223 ticks species, 112 have been collected 20 times or more; 14 of these are generalists and at least 39 are potential specialists. Further collections are needed for greater clarity in many cases. It is important that people working on probl

Abstract:

Abstract: African logic is often defined as a three-valued logic system, with truth, falsity, and truth-falsity being its three values. I argue here that this definition is problematic, as it excludes other logic systems with different mathematical valuations from Africa that could be used to axiomatize, explain, understand, and render intelligible the conceptions of reality within Africa and beyond. Therefore, in this article, I argue that African logic should not be restricted to a single definition but should be viewed as a collection of African culture-inspired logic systems. I call this v

Abstract This article explores the biography of a network of Soviet telescopic cameras stationed across the African Sahel during the Cold War. Through joint Soviet-African cooperative programs, scientists used these advanced cameras in Egypt, Somalia, Mali, the Sudan, and Chad to photograph satellites flying overhead to gather data to produce a new model of the Earth, one that Soviet scientists hoped would be an alternative to Western models. I argue that these technical artifacts in Africa, connected into a single global network, represented examples of “infrastructural irruptions” of Cold Wa

Abstract:

Anglophone African poetry has become a significant medium through which African society from the year 2000 to date is mirrored. The younger Anglophone African poets, widely referred to as the poets of the third-generation, have always used their poetry as means to respond to both historical and current socio-political circumstances that tend to distinguish Africa from the rest of the world. Their poetry now constitutes counter-hegemonic discourse against bad leadership in Africa and against corrupt African social and medical institutions.

The documents included in the Bureau of African Affairs Collection provide unique insights into both Nkrumah’s foreign and domestic policies.

In the summer of 1992 I was fortunate enough to visit two large collections of photographs for the purpose of African historical research.Muse and subject of this essay, these collections are housed in the library of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (hereafter FCO) and the library of the Royal Commonwealth Society (hereafter RCS), both in London. Although comparable in some respects, the two contrast sharply in styles of organization. It is this contrast which motivates the present writing, as it illustrates certain effects of the organization of collections on the usefulness of photographs
