A collection of essays reflecting on various aspects of the struggle of African countries for self rule against colonialism, as well as struggles against racism and other issues. All published by the Africa Research Group, as the African Activist Archive website notes, was " a radical research /action collective concerned with exposing and fighting American imperialist penetration of Africa. ARG hoped to promote a more informed concern with and protest against the role the U.S. played in the domination of Africa and to contribute to the sharpening and extending an anti-imperialist and anti-racist consciousness within the movement for social change." The group was active from 1968 to 1973. These publications are held in a manila envelope with a black and white photo and "Sharpeville" on it. Topics include Nelson Mandela's speech at his trial; Tovio's speech reflecting on the impact of South Africa on Namibia; a look at armed struggle in Africa, etc. All publications in VERY GOOD or better condition. A few with minor rusting to the staples, otherwise very little wear. Wrinkling, toning, soiling and tearing to the envelope, making it rather worn in appearance.…

First Edition. First impression. Octavo. Brown cloth hardcover; gilt spine-titles; xiv,568pp; map. A tight, square copy, Very Good or better; with scattered pencil marginalia. Two clipped obituaries are tipped onto the front flyleaf. Though his ownership markings do not appear in this volume, the marginal notes are those of noted poet, translator, and anthropologist Nathaniel Tarn, whose professional academic career began with a two-year fellowship in Rangoon, 1958-9. An important and highly influential articulation of British colonial policy in Burma just prior to independence, presented as a comparison of colonial rule under British and Dutch regimes. Furnivall critiques the effects of colonial capitalism, arguing that it has had a negative impact on traditional Burmese social structure, and advocates a gradualist autonomist policy. Though it was not likely Furnivall's intent, Policy and Practice became something of a blueprint for postcolonialism - albeit a blueprint that was rarely adopted by the more radical opponents to colonial rule - and it has remained regularly in print since its original publication.…

Large brightly coloured folding world map 51 x 97.4 cms (map); 61 x 101 cms (sheet), archivally mounted on linen, breaks at several folds and a minute bit of paper loss in the Celebes (now Sulawesi) and northern Afghanistan professionally repaired; in very good clean condition. World War II era advertising wall map printed in Australia for Australian Motorists Petrol Company Ltd. (AMP, now Ampol): "With the Compliments of Australian Motorists Petrol Co. Ltd. (Authorized Capital £1,000,000)" (map text) and pleads "In Wartime buy Australian" and "Australia Merits Preference". AMP was the first publicly listed Australian oil company.

An attractive set of skillfully executed original pencil sketches featuring British colonial structures in Prampram, Gold Coast (present-day Ghana), likely between 1819 and 1836. The sketches are titled in pencil, as follows: "Commandant's Residence, Pam Pram, Gold Coast," "Lower Town, Pam Pram from the Upper Town," and "Abandoned Fort at Appolonia from the Beach." The Union Jack flies proudly in the foreground of the sketch of the Commandant's residence. Officially, Great Britain colonized the Gold Coast region from 1867 until the independence of Ghana in 1957, though the British had maintained and controlled forts along the West African coastline since long before 1867. Fort Appolonia, in the extreme southwestern corner of the country, had been a British trading and military outpost from 1691 until 1819, and then again from 1836 onwards, when it changed hands from the British, to the Dutch, then back to the British again. As such, if the artist here labeled Fort Appolonia as "Abandoned," he or she most likely sketched the fort during the period it was shuttered between 1819 and 1836. A fascinating trio of original sketches offering unique views from a rarely visualized period in British colonial affairs in West Africa. Central vertical crease to each drawing, the first two titled in a contemporary hand in pencil to verso, the third similarly titled below the image. Very good.…

A Page from The Victorian era Graphic newspaper. December 1887. 12 x 16 inches. shows engraving of a group of Indian women posing with two white men, text beneath the image reading "Lady Dufferin's Fund, For supplying female medical aid to the women of India-some of the women doctors and their English teachers." Scenes of combat between British officers and attacking Indian natives below. Taken together the images suggest the civilizing influence of colonialism. The Countess of Dufferin Fun was established in 1885 when Queen Victoria tasked Lady Dufferin with improving women's healthcare in India. The queen had just received a missionary's letter that read in part, "the women of India suffer when they are sick." The complex relationship between conquest and paternalism played out to an extreme in India where the long term effects of colonialism continue to present day. Very light tonight to edges does not affect image or text. Overall very good condition.…

Belgian Congo colonial photo archive, circa 1950s, documenting how the Belgian state presented the colony to Western viewers through coffee production, planned workers' housing, road building, urban commerce, and managed landscape. Issued through the Belgian Government Information Center in New York, the photographs translate colonial rule into a sequence of alluring scenes such as African labor inside an industrial coffee facility, a rural workers' village at Bosulo, automobiles and commercial buildings in Léopoldville, road infrastructure through forest, and savannah country in the Kibali Ituri district. The group belongs to the late colonial period when Belgium framed the Congo as a development project while its economy remained structured around extractive agriculture, mineral wealth, compulsory labor histories, and racial hierarchy. Photo archive of five silver gelatin photographs, New York: Belgian Government Information Center: Belgium and Belgian Congo, each 5 x 7 inches, Belgian Congo, circa 1950s. The photos show workers handling sacks in a coffee facility; a thatched workers' village with a central road, palms, and surrounding hills, captioned "Workers' village - Bosulo"; a busy Léopoldville commercial district filled with cars, pedestrians, bicycles, storefronts, and hotel signage, captioned "Commercial center at Leopoldville, city life vol. 10"; open savannah in the Kibali Ituri district, captioned in handwritten script "In the Kibali Ituri district, at a height of about 3,000 feet there is a plain covered with savannah. Vegetation and countryside, vol. 3"; and a forest road captioned "Vegetatikon and Countryside vol. 3 / Road through the jungle." Belgium ruled the Congo from 1908, after the international scandal of King Leopold II's Congo Free State, until Congolese independence in 1960. By the mid twentieth century, official Belgian publicity emphasized welfare, labor housing, roads, agriculture, and urban modernization, recasting colonial control as technical improvement and economic order. These images present coffee production, labor housing, urban commerce, and road construction as evidence of Belgian economic development in the Congo. For native Congolese, that industrial system meant wage labor in export agriculture and processing, residence in employer or state planned settlements, movement through colonial transport networks, and participation in an urban economy controlled by Belgian administration and business. Light surface wear and scattered verso stamps and annotations; images remain clean and clear. Overall very good condition. An archive of Congolese labor and land as the basis of late colonial industry in Belgian Congo.…

Ceylon colonial photo archive depicting tea cultivation, estate labor, transportation, and urban life, circa 1880s to 1910s, documenting the plantation economy that made the island one of Britain's principal sources of tea as British merchants shifted the enormous domestic tea market away from China and toward production within the Empire. Coffee leaf rust appeared in Ceylon in 1869 and spread rapidly through the island's coffee districts, precipitating the collapse of the crop that had dominated the colonial export economy and accelerating planters' conversion of the central highlands to tea. James Taylor had established commercial tea cultivation at Loolecondera Estate near Kandy in 1867, and the new industry expanded rapidly as coffee failed; by 1900 some 380,000 acres in Ceylon were planted in tea. By 1879, the results showed that in more than 70 percent of tea sold in London still came from China, while by 1900 China supplied only about 10 percent and black teas from British controlled India and Ceylon constituted the bulk of the market. Photo archive of albumen and silver gelatin photographs and photographic postcards, ranging from approximately 3½ x 5 to 4 x 6 inches, Ceylon, circa 1880s to 1910s. Tea production forms the strongest body of imagery. Women and men stand among densely planted tea bushes or work through rows of plants, with women carrying the large woven baskets used to collect leaves; individual and group views are captioned "Tea plucker," "Tea picking, Ceylon," "Pruning tea, Kandy," and, in French, "Cueillette du thé à Ceylan." One Skeen & Co. Colombo card, numbered 84 and captioned "Tea plucker," isolates a woman at work with a large basket strapped behind her, while another shows a large group of workers seated with baskets and gathered tea in a plantation clearing. A card captioned "Estate coolies, Ceylon" depicts an estate employee in European dress standing with women and a child outside a thatched dwelling, preserving in its printed terminology the racial and labor classifications through which plantation workers were presented to contemporary consumers of colonial imagery. Other photographs move from plantation production into the roads, vehicles, and cities of colonial Ceylon: rickshaw pullers pose with European passengers and beside their vehicles; a street scene records "Native town, Kandy, Ceylon"; Colombo appears in views of the "Colpetty Road, near Galle Face, Colombo," a crowded procession captioned in French "Colombo, départ des troupes Anglaises," and a civic monument among palms. Another postcard depicts "Royal visitors leaving Ceylon," while a country road scene shows pedestrians, carts, and roadside activity. Skeen & Co., one of the principal commercial photographic firms operating from Colombo in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is identified on several cards, but no single photographer can be assigned to the archive as a whole. The tea scenes record the labor at the center of one of the fastest agricultural conversions in the nineteenth century British Empire. Coffee rust, Hemileia vastatrix, was first observed in Ceylon in 1869 and within little more than a decade had destroyed the commercial basis of the coffee plantation system; tea, already demonstrated commercially by Taylor, replaced it across much of the highlands. Ceylon tea exports to Britain rose from only 282 pounds in 1875 to more than 4.3 million pounds in 1885, while the plantation landscape expanded until almost all former coffee districts had been replanted with tea during the 1890s. That expansion depended on a large year round plantation workforce, much of it composed of Tamil laborers brought from southern India, and on the colonial infrastructure that connected the highlands with Colombo and overseas markets. Roads and the railway between Kandy and Colombo had initially served the coffee economy and could be redirected toward tea after the blight, while Colombo developed as the commercial and shipping center through which the crop entered imperial markets. The archive therefore records several stages and social spaces of the same colonial economy, from plucking and pruning in the highlands to estate communities, road transport, Kandy, and the metropolitan port city of Colombo, while the postcards themselves show how plantation labor and colonial development were converted into commercial images for circulation beyond the island. Light to moderate surface wear, toning, occasional fading and creasing, with some photographs showing age related discoloration and edge wear. Overall in good condition. A visual record of the plantation labor and colonial infrastructure behind Ceylon's transformation from a failed coffee economy into a major tea producer that helped Britain replace Chinese tea with supplies produced under imperial control.…

Belgian Congo photo archive documenting colonialism and segregated settlement in Paulis, Jadotville, and at Kiubo Falls in 1946-1947, while Belgian rule expanded displacing Congolese communities from political power and control over local resources. Made by an unidentified traveler or colonial observer, the group moves between industrial sites, river traffic, town streets, waterfalls, village compounds, and posed encounters with Congolese residents, placing daily life beside the infrastructure of empire. Jadotville, in Katanga, had been built within the orbit of Union Minière du Haut-Katanga and the copper economy that tied the Congo to European industry; Paulis belonged to the northeastern colonial administrative network that extended surveillance, mission activity, and commercial penetration into local societies. By the later 1940s, these systems were producing wealth for Belgium and foreign markets through forced and controlled labor regimes. Photo archive of 36 black and white silver gelatin photographs, various sizes, ranging from 2.5" x 3.5" to 5" x 7", Belgian Congo, 1946-1947. Nine photographs are identified to the Paulis region in 1946, including versos inscribed in French with "Habitations Européens à Paulis," "Pavillon de l'hotel," and "Le Kigoma sur le fleuve." These images show European-style houses set among palms, a large riverside or lakeside steamer, a broad colonial street with automobiles and low commercial buildings, thatched structures, and Congolese figures posed near village compounds and along a tree-lined road. The remaining photographs, from Jadotville and Kiubo Falls in 1947, include multiple views of the falls from overlooks and near the waterline, several repeated compositions of cascades and riverbanks, a dense electrical installation with transformers and steel framing, public crowd scenes, dugout canoes on calm water, groups standing beside temporary camp structures, and additional views of thatched settlements, large shade trees, and Congolese men, women, and children positioned before houses or in open clearings. Several photographs set European-built environments against Congolese dwellings and occupied landscapes, making the colonial dichotomy apparent within this grouping. Waterfalls, river steamers, electric infrastructure, and ordered streets mark the channels through which copper, labor, and administrative authority moved outward to Belgian and international markets, while the photographs of Congolese settlements and residents show the populations who bore that reorganization of land and economy. In the late colonial Congo, extraction and transport depended on African labor under coercive conditions, and urban growth in places such as Jadotville advanced through racially unequal housing, wage structures, and civic access, leaving Congolese people concentrated in subordinate quarters or rural zones even when their work sustained the entire system. Light wear and occasional creasing; several versos inscribed in French; overall very good condition. An intimate look into Belgian colonial rule at the point where industrial wealth, infrastructure, and local displacement met on the ground. Signed.…

Large missionary lantern slide archive documenting Protestant evangelical activity and African village life in West Africa during the early twentieth century, most plausibly within the Upper Guinea Coast region encompassing present day Sierra Leone or Liberia. The photographs record interactions between European or American missionaries and local communities during a period when Protestant mission societies expanded schools, churches, and literacy programs throughout the forest belt of West Africa. Lantern slide sets such as this were commonly produced as visual material for missionary lecture circuits in Europe and North America, where churches presented illustrated narratives describing evangelization, education programs, and village life in mission territories in order to secure financial and institutional support. Several images depict African men and women dressed in Christian or mission-associated attire and gathered in what appear to be congregational or instructional settings, suggesting scenes staged or selected to illustrate the success of missionary work, conversion, and Christian instruction. The images collectively reflect the visual language commonly employed in missionary propaganda of the period, presenting both everyday village life and scenes of religious participation as evidence of missionary influence. Archive of 49 glass lantern slides, circa 1910-1920, depicting village communities, missionary encounters, and daily life scenes in what visual evidence suggests is the Upper Guinea forest region of West Africa. Slides measure approximately 3.25 x 3.25 inches.Slides show thatched village compounds constructed with wattle walls and palm or grass roofing, agricultural work, food preparation, and communal gatherings. Several images portray individuals wearing raffia or fiber skirts and other forms of dress historically documented among forest societies of Sierra Leone and Liberia, including Mende, Vai, and related communities. Other photographs show agricultural carrying baskets worn on the back with shoulder straps, a method of transport widely used in the forest regions of Liberia and Sierra Leone for carrying crops and forest products. Additional slides depict domestic labor including a woman grinding plant material in a bowl on the ground within a village compound, scenes consistent with food preparation and herbal processing practices recorded in ethnographic studies of Upper Guinea Coast societies. One photograph shows a man standing beside a river or coastal fish trap constructed from wooden stakes, a fishing technology historically documented along the riverine and coastal systems of Sierra Leone and Liberia where fishing formed a major component of subsistence economies. The slides are mounted within glass frames typical of magic lantern projection, the visual format widely used by missionary organizations for illustrated lectures and fundraising presentations. Architectural, environmental, and material culture details visible in the photographs strongly support identification within the Upper Guinea Coast rather than East Africa. The combination of rectangular wattle-and-thatch houses, raffia fiber clothing, agricultural basket transport, mortar-based grinding of foods and herbs, and coastal or riverine fishing structures corresponds closely with practices documented among forest and coastal societies of Sierra Leone and Liberia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The surrounding vegetation, including palm ecology and dense tropical growth, aligns with the Guinea forest zone extending from Guinea through Sierra Leone and Liberia into Côte d'Ivoire. Missionary activity intensified in this region during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through American and European Protestant societies including Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Anglican missions, which established schools, churches, and mission stations while producing photographic material for lecture circuits abroad. Light surface wear, minor abrasions to several mounts, and scattered handling marks consistent with projection use; 2-3 images have cracks to glass but no loss to image, overall condition good. A substantial visual archive illustrating missionary propaganda, village life, and early twentieth century cross-cultural encounters in the mission fields of the Upper Guinea Coast.…
