Abstract:

Government Gazettes are a neglected source for the colonial history of Africa, and it may be worthwhile to draw attention to various types of information to be found in those for Northern Rhodesia, which have recently been made available on microfilm.Up to 1911 the British South Africa Company administered two territories north of the Zambezi: North-Eastern Rhodesia and North-Western Rhodesia. For North-Eastern Rhodesia the Company published at Fort Jameson (now Chipata) a monthly Government Gazette from 1903 to 1911. There was no Gazette for North-Western Rhodesia; legislation for this territory was initially published in the Official Gazette of the High Commissioner for South Africa, though some relevant proclamations and government notices were reprinted in the North-Eastern Rhodesia Gazette. From 1911 the Company published a Government Gazette for the amalgamated territory of Northern Rhodesia; the frequency varied between twelve and twenty issues a year. In 1924 the Colonial Office took over responsibility for Northern Rhodesia. Thereafter the frequency of publication tended to increase, reflecting the growth of government, business, and white settlement. Before 1939 it ranged between 24 and 50 issues a year, and from 1939 to independence in 1964, between 50 and 80 a year.

Abstract:

So to the catalogue in detail. It is divided into seven parts, topped and tailed by 25pp. of introductory matter and 107pp. of index of personal names and principal subjects.Part 1 contains the bulk of the pre-Federation material. It runs to 103 boxes of which the first nine cover Welensky as Director of Manpower, the Northern Rhodesian Executive Council (mainly commuting death sentences imposed on murderers - or not), the Legislative Council and its committees and the Unofficial Members’ Association and the Liaison Office. Twenty boxes house material relating to boards and committees with which Welensky was involved: Rhodesia Railways (the Board and the Higher Authority), Chilanga Cement Works (a project of the Northern Rhodesian authorities in conjunction with the Colonial Development Corporation; references to a cement pool seem to be to collusive marketing arrangements rather than swimming or the mafia) and the Rhodes Centenary Exhibition (1953) at Bulawayo.

Abstract:

In 1950s Northern Rhodesia, present day Zambia, rumours abounded amongst the African population intimating that the white settlers and administration were extensively involved in witchcraft, cannibalism and blood-sucking. In turn, members of the white settler community believed very much the same with regard to the African population of the territory. The development of nationalist politics and the increasing unionization of African workers in colonial Zambia led to agitation that was matched with increasing disquiet and fears on the part of white settlers. The emergence of ‘Mau Mau’ in Kenya and rumours of ‘Mau Mau’ in Northern Rhodesia served to underscore European settler fears in Northern Rhodesia. Based on research in the National Archives of Zambia and Great Britain, this paper explores the manner in which public rumour played out in Northern Rhodesia and gave emphasis to settler fears and fantasies in the territory.

Abstract:

In the summer months of 2005 I traveled to London for the purpose of carrying out archival research in the Oriental and India Office Collection (OIOC) of the British Library at Kings Cross. My aim was to document the history of Indian immigration to the former British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia (present-day Zambia), about which very little has been published. The OIOC contains a vast amount of material relating to Asia and Africa—reportedly some 14 kilometers of shelving—including the India Office Records (IOR) and its key manuscripts detailing Indians' migration to British Central Africa.Indians' arrival into Northern Rhodesian territory can be traced in these archives to 1905, and I was interested in the period from then until the independence of the country in 1964. The information held in the IOR is partic ularly rich: because the India Office acted as an intermediary among the Colonial Office in London, the Governor's Office in Northern Rhodesia, and the Government of India in New Delhi, the records bring together and represent the concerns of all the official actors. However, when India achieved sovereignty in 1947 the doors of the India Office closed and matters relating to the Indian diaspora were transferred to the Commonwealth Relations Office and the Dominion and Colonial Offices, whose interests were empire-wide. These sets of files are presently held in the National Archives at Kew.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines the processes of negotiations for autonomy from British rule in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It shows that developments in the Zambezia region, in particular African resistance to the Central African Federation, influenced the nature and pace of the negotiations. African nationalists conducted horizontal negotiations among themselves in addition to intense negotiations with colonial authorities divided between the Federation and London. In the end, the negotiations succeeded in transferring power to the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) led by Kamuzu Banda and the United National Independence Party (UNIP) under Kenneth Kaunda.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of the development and significance of anti-colonial nationalism within Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland between 1953 and 1964. Reappraising the work of David Mulford and Robert Rotberg, the thesis will focus upon the means by which Kenneth Kaunda’s United National Independence Party and Hastings Banda’s Malawi Congress Party came to dominate the national agenda in the 1950s and 60s. Emphasis will be placed upon the extent to which African politicians successfully mobilised the African people against the Federation, translating complex political arguments and winning support for their own, exclusive, national ideal. Galvanised by the imposition of the Central African Federation, the political elite embarked upon an ambitious programme to politically educate the African masses. The initial objective was to win African advancement within the Federal context in the hope that this might eventually translate into African majority government. When such changes were not forthcoming, and when the Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesian governments embarked upon a campaign to suppress African political parties in 1959, nationalist objectives subsequently changed. As the British appeared blind to African politicisation, political leaders turned away from Britain as the supposed ‘protector’ of African interests and instead came to call for African self-government in an independent Zambia and Malawi. In so doing they drew upon the support of powerful pan-African, and international, allies who encouraged MCP and UNIP politicians to accept nothing less than their desired goal of independence and helped to place pressure upon the British government to resolve an increasingly untenable situation in Central Africa. The thesis will contribute to the historiography in two principal ways. In the first instance, the thesis will seek to contemporise accounts of the rise of nationalism that emerged in the immediate post-independence period, proposing that the rise of UNIP and the MCP was not always as inevitable as such accounts would imply. Rather, it depended upon the initiative, foresight, and abilities of African politicians in winning the confidence and support of the African masses. It depended also, after 1959, upon the ability of nationalist leaders to forge links between party and nation and, crucially, upon an expanding network of pan-African and international anticolonial allies. It is here that the thesis will hope to make an original contribution to the prevailing historiography by demonstrating that the development of nationalism did not solely occur within an exclusively Zambian-Malawian context. The success of mobilisation campaigns, and indeed the independence struggle, rested heavily upon the support of external allies who proved vital in both pressuring the British and lending moral and financial support to African politicians. By such means, it is hoped that the thesis will go some way to emphasising the importance of extending the study of Zambian and Malawian independence beyond the traditional metropolitan-peripheral axis.

Abstract:

This thesis examines Northern and Southern Rhodesia's history through the formation and development of their police and military units from the time Rhodesia was created in 1890 until the end of the Second World War. Southern Rhodesia, founded after a series of short and bloody frontier wars, was a self-governing British colony under a white minority and centered its peace-time security efforts around keeping an eye on potential uprisings from the African majority. White Northern Rhodesians viewed the African majority with similar suspicion although they were never able to exclude Africans from territorial defense. Northern Rhodesia was governed from London and ultimate power did not lie with the settler community. The importance of the Second World War for Southern Rhodesia is that, because of British strategic policies, Rhodesians received perhaps the widest possible military exposure of any allied nation of the War. Because of a lingering hostility and suspicion by the Union of South Africa, Britain's prewar plans for defending their African empire were centered on making use of the skilled white manpower of Rhodesia and Kenya. Added to this was the willingness and apparent positive reception by white Rhodesians of black units in the Southern Rhodesian army, a break with the exclusively all-white tradition that prevailed up until then. The political capital accrued to Southern Rhodesia because of its close cooperation with Britain was perhaps the significant factor in the establishment of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1953 which included Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The Federation was Southern Rhodesia's supreme political achievement and the closest it came to legal independence and international respectability.

Leavy, Jennifer. "Social networks and economic life in rural Zambia." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2012. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/40669/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between social networks and economic life in rural Zambia. The motivation for the study lies in the crucial role played by social context and social networks in exchange behaviour in rural sub-Saharan Africa, and inherent difficulties in formalising market transactions in this context within a standard neoclassical economics framework. The study examines the role of social networks in rural production systems, focusing on crop market participation. It is based on analysis of findings from social network research conducted by the author in three predominantly Bemba villages in Northern Province, Zambia. Data collected using quantitative and qualitative methods are used to map social networks of individuals and households. Variables are constructed capturing network characteristics, and incorporated into transactions cost models of ommercialisation. The overarching question is: do social networks play a role in determining farming success in settings with little variability between households on assets and endowments – land, labour, inputs – and where markets are incomplete or missing? Do social networks mediate market and resource access, helping to explain socio-economic differences between households? The research finds rural life is characterised by diverse networks with multiple, overlapping functions. Much economic exchange takes place on reciprocal or kinship bases, rooted in social norms and reflecting community structures. How social networks are measured matters. Different network attributes are important for different people, and relationships between networks and outcomes depend on the measure used. Controlling for endogeneity, estimation results suggest larger networks have a negative effect on crop incomes whereas having a greater proportion of kin in the network has a positive effect, implying that in this context strong ties are key. Qualitative research suggests the nature of people's networks and their positions within them play an important role in the command over labour: “the famous always get their work done".

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA
The rich corpus of postcolonial scholarly engagement on indigenous intermediaries, interpreters, clerks and assistants has a made a strong argument for the active participation of African agents in social scientific knowledge production on Africa. This literature has highlighted the complex and negotiated nature of fieldwork in African anthropology. While this literature has begun to deepen our understanding of the knowledge work of anthropologists and their research assistants, it has not adequately explored the relationship between anthropologists and informants in what one scholar has recently called ‘a triangulation of relationships’ between the anthropologist, the assistant and the informant. This research project proposes to explore these relationships in a detailed case study: that of the British anthropologist Godfrey Wilson (1908–1944), his interpreter Zachariah Mawere, and three primary informants, during three years of pioneering research into the effects of migrant labour at Broken Hill, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) between 1938 and 1941. Using a close textual reading and detailed analysis of Wilsons Bemba and English fieldnotes held in the Godfrey and Monica Wilson collection at the University of Cape Town’s African Studies Library, the study will apply a micro-historical and biographical approach. It will seek to reconstruct the biographies and anthropological contributions of one interpreter and three central Bemba informants in order to explore the micro-politics of knowledge production in African anthropology.
