The past and future of Black history In this information-overloaded twenty-first century, it seems impossible to fully discern or explain how we know about the past. But two things are certain. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we all think historically on a routine basis. And our perceptions of history, including African American history, have not necessarily been shaped by professional historians. In this wide-reaching and timely book, Pero Gaglo Dagbovie argues that public knowledge and understanding of black history, including its historical icons, has been shaped by institutions and individuals outside academic ivory towers. Drawing on a range of compelling examples, Dagbovie explores how, in the twenty-first century, African American history is regarded, depicted, and juggled by diverse and contesting interpreters—from museum curators to filmmakers, entertainers, politicians, journalists, and bloggers. Underscoring the ubiquitous nature of African-American history in contemporary American thought and culture, each chapter unpacks how black history has been represented and remembered primarily during the “Age of Obama,” the so-called era of “post-racial” American society. Reclaiming the Black Past is Dagbovie's contribution to expanding how we understand African American history during the new millennium.

This book presents the findings of research conducted by scholars and activists associated with the Agrarian South Network, based mainly in Africa, Asia and Latina America. The research articulates a Southern perspective on the “new scramble” for Africa, with a view to strengthen tri-continental solidarities. The book explains the significance of the new scramble in terms of the economic structures inherited from the late-nineteenth-century scramble and the subsequent post-independence period. The renewed competition for Africa’s land and natural resources and the resumption of economic growth at the turn of the millennium have revived concerns regarding the continent’s position in the world economy and the prospects for its development in the twenty-first century. In this regard, the book addresses two related issues: the character of the expansion of Southern competitors in relation to the more established Western strategies; and the impact of the renewed influx of investments in land, minerals, and associated infrastructure. The findings are presented with empirical rigor and conceptual clarity, to enable the reader to grasp what really is at stake in the twenty-first century – an epic struggle to reclaim Africa from the monopolies that exercise control over its land, minerals, labour, and destiny.

Reclaiming Black History presents a new narrative that ends the shameless separation of African-American, Native-American, and Mexican-American history from standard American history. It does not make white Americans the center of American history. Instead these writings place all the groups in the context of actual historical events, cooperating, clashing, coexisting and contributing to make America what it is today. Reclaiming Black History literally tells the history of saints and scoundrels. These stories about black, brown, red and white men and women tell how they struggled to understand and coexist with each other. Reclaiming Black History also tells of the scoundrels who used and pitted people against each other for their own personal gain and profit. Unlike standard American history, these essays discuss slave revolts that were actually successful, which meant slaves escaped. Revolts were often planned and coordinated with other slaves, Native Americans and white Americans. Slaves carefully considered how their decisions to form alliances with other groups and to revolt would affect them. Whites of goodwill helped, cooperated and coexisted with blacks and Native Americans. They also were in conflict, and at times whites paid with their lives for the decision to help or oppose people of color. These essays cover a wide swath of American history. From Maroons fighting for freedom in impassable swamps, to an abolitionist senators being beaten in the halls of congress, to blacks and whites cooperating to run the Underground Railroad, Reclaiming Black History discusses the physical, social, economic, and psychic conflicts and connections these Americans shared. Native Americans are represented as they actually were, not as they are seen in the common historical narrative (as irrational savages or passive sidekicks). Native Americans were powerful in their own right, people who thought strategically and deeply about how the repercussions of their actions would affect them and others in the future. They formed alliances with whites, black and brown people to achieve and protect their own rights. Reclaiming Black History presents women in a new narrative, as powerful individuals. From the women of color in the South who used hairstyles and headdresses as a means of protest against inequality, to a petite white woman from the North helping slaves escape, Reclaiming Black History highlights many of these women for the first time, revealing the common sense story of how they fit into the American historical narrative. Reclaiming Black History gives the names and shows images of some of these heroes and scoundrels for the first time. In this new narrative, people of color are no longer nameless invisible contributors to our country's complicated history.

Struggles over the meaning of the past are common in postcolonial states. State cultural heritage programs build monuments to reinforce in nation building efforts—often supported by international organizations and tourist dollars. These efforts often ignore the other, often more troubling memories preserved by local communities—markers of colonial oppression, cultural genocide, and ethnic identity. Yet, as the contributors to this volume note, questions of memory, heritage, identity and conservation are interwoven at the local, ethnic, national and global level and cannot be easily disentangled. In a fascinating series of cases from West Africa, anthropologists, archaeologists and art historians show how memory and heritage play out in a variety of postcolonial contexts. Settings range from televised ritual performances in Mali to monument conservation in Djenne and slavery memorials in Ghana.

Conditioned by local ways of knowing and doing, Great Zimbabwe develops a new interpretation of the famous World Heritage site of Great Zimbabwe. It combines archaeological knowledge, including recent material from the author’s excavations, with native concepts and philosophies. Working from a large data set has made it possible, for the first time, to develop an archaeology of Great Zimbabwe that is informed by finds and observations from the entire site and wider landscape. In so doing, the book strongly contributes towards decolonising African and world archaeology. Written in an accessible manner, the book is aimed at undergraduate students, graduate students, and practicing archaeologists both in Africa and across the globe. The book will also make contributions to the broader field such as African Studies, African History, and World Archaeology through its emphasis on developing synergies between local ways of knowing and the archaeology.
