Title card inscribed in black ink: "For Bob MacNeal a fellow photographer with best wishes / Arnold Newman" undated. Mat lightly soiled with a few small chips and abrasions to extremities; image clean and unfaded Near Fine. ca<br /> <br /> NOTE: the mat appears permanently fixed to the photograph as presented by the photographer; we have not attempted to examine the print outside the mat. Impressive large-format portrait by Newman here inscribed to one "Bob MacNeal" identified as a "fellow photographer" though we can find no photographers of the period who used this spelling. Possibly a misspelling of Bob MacNeil still active the prominent Canadian fashion photographer; possibly a misspelling of Bob McNeill d.2007 the prominent African-American documentary photographer; or possibly the correct spelling of an acquaintance of no notable prominence at all. Undated but ca. early 1970s a superlative image of the Ethiopian Emperor boldly inscribed and signed by Newman below image. unknown

1946234091946. ColonialismReligion Archive of letters by Dr. John A. Reuling recording his 1946 missionary work in Africa across mid-century Portuguese Belgian British and South African colonial systems where evangelism was a tool of westernization and colonialism alongside education public health and agricultural training. Written during Reuling's first year as Africa Secretary for the American Board the letters track his movements through Elende Bailundo Currie Institute Chikore Mt.

Reuling's letters are especially strong coverage of African education and public health including operational details rarely present in formal mission reports such as pupils sleeping in adobe thatched houses pupils walking 25 to 30 miles to school a mission doctor being absent on furlough malaria treatment limited by quinine shortages and African nurses at McCord Hospital serving as "a positive demonstration" of African competence. They also preserve Reuling's paternal assumptions about African population including his his belief that mission intervention could guide African development and his insistence that Christian institutions could keep postwar unrest from turning violent.

188550241Amsterdam K.N.A.G. 1885. 8vo. In recent paper wrappers with brown title label pasted on the front wrappers. As extracted from "Koninklijk Nederlands Aardrijkskundig Genootschap". Vol. II. Very fine and clean. Pp. 213-228. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the first report on the The Berlin Conference of 1884-85 also known as the Congo Conference or West Africa Conference. It sought to regulate European colonisation and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period. The General Act of the Berlin Conference can be seen as the formalization of the Scramble for Africa and is by far the most severe infringement ever on African sovereignty. The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity by European powers while simultaneously eliminating most existing forms of African autonomy and self-governance."For at a time when an estimated 80% of Africa remained under traditional and local control the purpose of the Berlin Conference had been for the Great Powers to establish rules amongst themselves for the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of Africa's resources. Including the division of territory the drawing of maps and the establishment of Congo -- as a personal possession of the Belgian King. Not surprisingly no Africans had been invited to the Conference." Calmettes Berlin 1885: The Division of Africa. "Owing to the upsetting of Bismarck's carefully laid balance of power in European politics caused by Leopold's gamble and subsequent European race for colonies Germany felt compelled to act and started launching expeditions of its own which frightened both British and French statesmen. Hoping to quickly soothe this brewing conflict King Leopold II was able to convince France and Germany that common trade in Africa was in the best interests of all three countries. Under support from the British and the initiative of PortugalOtto von Bismarck German Chancellor called on representatives of Austria-Hungary Belgium Denmark France the United Kingdom Italy the Netherlands Portugal Spain Sweden-Norway union until 1905 the Ottoman Empire and the United States to take part in the Berlin Conference to work out policy." Ngoyo Federation of the Free States of Africa.The boarders drawn in Africa during the Berlin Conference had devastating consequences for Africa:" "The Berlin Conference was Africa's undoing in more ways than one. The colonial powers superimposed their domains on the African Continent. By the time Africa regained its independence after the late 1950s the realm had acquired a legacy of political fragmentation that could neither be eliminated nor made to operate satisfactorily. The African politico-geographical map is thus a permanent liability that resulted from the three months of ignorant greedy acquisitiveness during a period when Europe's search for minerals and markets had become insatiable."

19649415New York: Harvest House 1964. Small quarto in comb binding 25.5 x 18 cm. 64 pages. Illustrated. Index. FIRST EDITION. A cookbook of regional African recipes by Bea Sandler restaurant consultant and food magazine editor. An expanded edition was released in 1970 by World Publishing Co. with the contracted title African Cookbook and re-issued again in 1993. The introduction to the 1993 edition notes that “The first publication of this book was . the first volume on African cooking to appear in this country or anywhere outside of Africa.†The second half of that statement was incorrect but it was indeed the first published in the U.S. The cookbook originated with Sandler’s role in planning the menu for The Tree Houses Restaurant at the African Pavilion of the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. Sandler writes in the preface that after being given this task “to our amazement we could not find an African cook book published in America†though they were able to turn up a couple of volumes published in Africa after which “we embarked on a long and complex testing program. We invited people who had been in Africa to participate in the testings and to advise us on the final selection of menu items.†Each chapter of the book “is designed to give you a complete luncheon or dinner as you would get it at the African Pavilion.†For instance one chapter provides a complete “Couscous Menu†consisting of Groundnut Soup Couscous Mauritania a salad and Mango-Banana Sundae. Other recipes in the book include “Tree House†Chutney Curry of Beef Kenya Chicken Moamba Foo-Foo and Nigerian Pancakes as well as six recipes for alcoholic cocktails including Paw-Paw Paradise and Tanganika Tonic. The lower portion of each page prints a description of one of the countries featured at the pavilion. Sandler went on to travel extensively around Africa compiling recipes for her 1970 edition of this cookbook. This original World's Fair publication is very uncommon. One small pencil annotation to margin otherwise internally clean and sound. Photographically illustrated covers are lightly rubbed and with some bumping to corners otherwise fine.
