2 Introduction What Do We Know About Africa? Very Little And most of what people know is only partially correct or based on stereotypes Unfortunately media focus on Big Stories leads to an uninformed public Most Americans view Africa as a country and not a continent or a region of the world. Lack of Geography and History courses on Africa in High School and College compounds the problem. 4 Introduction Africa is a Continent of contrasts attributable to four factors: Size Second largest continent after Asia Geographical position Only continent divided by the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Thus Africa is Tropical with few exceptions (77% lies in the tropics) Long history of human occupation Story of humanity begins in Africa. Remains of our oldest ancestor was discovered in East Africa (almost 200,000 years ago) The beginnings of technology (stone tools) have been discovered in Africa Diversity Over 800 million people who speak over 2000 different languages 5 Introduction Cradle of civilization Good natural resources Minerals Water Wildlife World s poorest region Many challenges Political instability Disease Environmental degradation 6 2
3 Physical Geography Plateaus and Valleys Steep edged plateaus Rift valleys Rift lakes Volcanic peaks Wealth of mineral resources Oil and natural gas Nigeria, Angola Coal South Africa 7 Physical Geography Major Rivers Few good natural ports Lack deep ocean inlets Navigation interrupted by rapids and waterfalls 4 largest rivers: Niger Nile Congo Zambezi 8 Climates Almost all of region lies within the tropics Hot and rainy year round Equator Hot, arid deserts Sh Sahara, Namibia Hot, seasonal summer rainy Plateau uplands cooler, drier Temperate southern margin 9 3
4 Climates Wide range of crops possible: Rubber Cocoa Coffee Cotton Attractive for tourists Provide environments for many diseases Malaria 90% of deaths occur is this region Sleeping sickness River blindness 10 Vegetation and Soils Tropical rain forest Savanna grasslands Deserts Margins move The Sahel Desertification Shrinking Lake Chad D Vegetation and Soils

6 Human Geography Muslim influence after 600s AD Northern and Eastern Africa West African trade Salt Gold Ivory Slaves Timbuktu Center for commerce Center of learning Declined when West African coastal areas were accessible by ship Arab trade in East Africa Creole language Mixture of African, Indian, and Arabic languages 16 Human Geography Pre colonial Africa Subsistence economies (as in the Americas). Reliance on the extended family as the basic social unit: It was the unit that effectively owned land. Individuals did not technically own land but had access to land as part of the larger family unit. Land could not be sold. Was passed down through generations Under this system, no landed aristocracy developed. Women were the primary agriculturalists of Africa. Men did the hunting and gathering. 17 European Trade Arrived in 1400s Western and Southern Africa At first, limited to coastal trading Triangular trade Alcohol, guns, and sugar traded for slaves, gold, ivory Abolition movements 1800 s Affected slave trade Creation of Liberia 18 6
7 Colonialism European colonial objectives A port along the West African coast A water route to South Asia and Southeast Asia 1500 s: Looking for resources Slaves About 12 million Africans were taken to work elsewhere Americas and the Middle East 1850: Industrial revolution occurs in Europe Increased demand for mineral resources Need to expand agricultural production 19 Colonialism Berlin Conference (1884) 14 States divided up Africa without consideration of existing cultures Results of superimposed boundaries: Africanpeoples were divided Unified regions were ripped apart Hostile societies were thrown together Hinterlands were disrupted Migration routes were closed off Legacy of political fragmentation Impaired the cohesion of newly formed countries in the 1950s. A constant source of unrest and violence 20 Colonialism Colonial policies Great Britain: Indirect Rule (Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe). Indigenous power structures were left intact to some degree. Local rulers were made representatives of the crown. France: Assimilationist (Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, etc.), Enforced a direct rule which propagated the French culture through language, laws, education and dress (acculturation). Portugal: Exploitation (Guinea Bissau, Angola, Mozambique). First to enslave and colonize and one of the last to grant independence. Maintained rigid control; raw resource oriented. Belgium: Paternalistic (Rwanda, Zaire, Burundi). Treated Africans as though they where children who needed to be tutored in western ways; did not try to make them Belgian. Raw resource oriented; ignored the development of natives. 21 7
