Exploring Africa
An exhibit of maps and travel narratives from Leo Africanus to chinua achebe.
http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/sccoll/africa/africa.html

Extractions: hypertext by Jason A. Pierce Wilhelm Blaeu's 1617 map of Africa This exhibit puts on display one of the hidden resources of Thomas Cooper Library's Special Collections, a selection from the many books of travel and exploration purchased for the original South Carolina College Library in the early and middle nineteenth century. The exhibition illustrates most of the major phases in the European exploration of Africa, from the late fifteenth century to the late nineteenth century. The exhibition begins with a series of very beautiful Renaissance maps, showing the tracing of the African coastline in the late fifteenth century, by Portuguese seamen, and with the widely-translated early account of West Africa by the Arab scholar Leo Africanus. Included here are the magnificent facsimile of a fifteenth-century manuscript Ptolemy, purchased in 1983 from the John Shaw Billings Endowment, and Wilhelm Blaeu's famous map of Africa (1617). Also from the Renaissance is another Dutch engraver Theodor de Bry's 1598 map from his famous Voyages, kindly loaned for this exhibit by James P. Barrow, '62. But the heart of the exhibit lies with the many early editions of the great names in the European exploration of the African interiorJames Bruce, Mungo Park, Burckhardt, Clapperton, Laing, Caillie, Lander, and others. With many different motivationsadventure, fame, scientific curiosity, the hope of new wealth or trading opportunities, missionary ardor and anti-slavery zealthe European explorers of Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth century nonetheless form an extraordinary succession of individual bravery and visionary commitment. Many of the books and maps in which they recorded their quest remain both essential historical sources for African history and very beautiful examples of contemporary book production and engraving. Some items, alas, after long years originally on the open shelves of a college library, have been damaged or inappropriately repaired and now need professional conservation, but many are, at least internally, still pristine.

Extractions: Yeats was attracted to the spiritual and occult world and fashioned for himself an elaborate mythology to explain human experience. "The Second Coming," written after the catastrophe of World War I and with communism and fascism rising, is a compelling glimpse of an inhuman world about to be born. Yeats believed that history in part moved in two thousand-year cycles. The Christian era, which followed that of the ancient world, was about to give way to an ominous period represented by the rough, pitiless beast in the poem.

Extractions: Chinua Achebe Ike, Energie, ist das Wesen aller Dinge, ob menschlich, geistig, belebt oder unbelebt. Alles besitzt seine eigene, einzigartige Energie, die anerkannt und der Rechnung getragen werden muß. Ein gebräuchlicher Ausdruck für dieses Prinzip findet sich in der Redewendung Ike di na awaja na awaja, "Kraft existiert in verschiedenen Ausprägungen". Gelegentlich wird dieser Spruch durch das Sinnbild eines Vogels, obu, ergänzt, der zwar ein wenig einnehmendes Äußeres hat, der aber dennoch die Macht besitzt, eine Schlange zu vernichten. Onye na nkie, onye na nkie, "Einem jeden das, was ihm gebührt", "Jedem das Seine", ist eine Formel, mit der oft eine Versammlung begrüßt wird, die zu groß ist, um jeden einzeln und direkt anzusprechen. Der in Gestalt einer Maske angemessen transformierte Körper wird zu festlichen und rituellen Anlässen oder während ernster sozialer Krisen wiederkehren, um in seiner erhöhten Präsenz und Autorität an den Ereignissen in der Gemeinschaft teilzuhaben. Er wird dabei einen esoterischen Dialekt sprechen, in dem auf Menschen verwiesen wird, als seien sie Körper: Aru onyedi etua ekeneem gi! "Körper von diesem oder jenen, ich grüße Dich!"

http://www.nhmccd.edu/contracts/lrc/kc/achebe.htm

Extractions: Chinua Achebe was born on November 16, 1930 in Ogidi, an Igbo village near the Niger River in a Nigeria under British rule. His parents were devout Christians, and his father worked as a teacher of the Church Missionary Society. As a child Chinua was taught to look down on his fellow tribe members who practiced the traditional faith. Nonetheless, he was fascinated with the customs and traditions of his non-Christian neighbors and went to their ceremonies and festivals despite the fact his parents forbid him to do so. He attended a government-run secondary school where he learned to love and appreciate British literature. He enjoyed the authors such as Joseph Conrad and their tales of Africa but came to realize "that these writers had pulled a fast one on me! I was not on Marlowe’s boat steaming up the Congo in Heart of Darkness . I was one of those strange beings jumping up and down on the river bank, making horrid faces." He decided that he could write a more realistic portrayal of his culture and began by writing articles for his college campus newspaper. Then in 1958 he published his first novel

Extractions: Chinua Achebe, poet and novelist, is one of the most important living African writers. He is also considered one of the most original literary artists currently writing in English. Born Albert Chinualumogo Achebe, Chinua Achebe was raised by Christian evangelical parents in the large village Ogidi, in Igboland, Eastern Nigeria. He received early education in English, but grew up surrounded by the complex fusion of Igbo traditions and the colonial legacy. He studied literature and medicine at the University of Ibadan; after graduating, he went to work for the Nigerian Broadcasting Company in Lagos. Things Fall Apart (1958) was his first novel. It has been translated into at least forty-five languages, and has sold eight million copies worldwide. Starting in the 1950s, Achebe was central to a new Nigerian literary movement that drew on the oral traditions of Nigeria's indigenous tribes. Although Achebe writes in English, he attempts to incorporate Igbo vocabulary and narratives. Other novels include: No Longer At Ease Arrow of God (1964), and

Extractions: Who is Chinua Achebe? Chinua Achebe was born in Nigeria on November 16, 1930, the fifth of six children of Isaiah and Janet Achebe. His father was a teacher with the Church Missionary Society. When Achebe was five, his father retired, and the family moved to their ancestral village of Ogidi - into a house of earthen walls with a sheet-metal roof. When Achebe was twelve, he left home with an older brother, who taught at a school in Nekede. He eventually earned a scholarship to Government College, a secondary school. He became something of a hero in his village, acquiring the nickname "dictionary" for his knowledge of English. After a short time as a teacher, Achebe became a producer for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation in Lagos in 1954. Things Fall Apart was Achebe's first novel in 1958. For his contribution to African Literature, Achebe was awarded the Margaret Wong Memorial Prize in 1959, the first of many literary awards. In 1961, Achebe became the first director of external broadcasting in Nigeria for the British Broadcasting Corporation. That same year he married Christiana Chinwe Okoli. They had two daughters and two sons. Achebe went on to write a number of other novels and short stories. His richly African stories re-create the old ways of Nigeria's Igbo people and recall the intrusion of western customs upon their traditional values. During the countrywide persecution of the Igbo in 1966, Achebe was forced to leave Lagos for eastern Nigeria. He took an active part in the struggle for independence.
