Essays should have organized thoughts, an interesting writing style, and most importantly get the attention of the reader. The essay, “African Women in Colonial Society,” by Carol Berkin was no exception. The claims were well thought out and clear, and the essay definitely hooked readers in with an anecdote that led into the story quite fittingly. She had three noticeable claims that were major that she talks about in the essay, and that is the struggles of African women, moreso compared to that of a man’s, the silver linings that the women found, and finally the unity of the Africans through common languages and religion.

South African ecologists currently face many challenges relating to the conservation of biodiversity and the growing economy. Excessive hunting and land development, as well as unemployment, all remain growing concerns for this struggling country. Jan-Hendrik, a South African who made contact with us, stated, “South Africa has lots of social and economic problems because most people are poor. To get them to middle class requires the economy to grow through mines and the expansion of living areas” (Hendrik). The growth of South Africa’s economy often occurs at nature’s expense. Mining, fracking, expansion of living areas and big game hunting all benefit the economy. Unfortunately, each have detrimental effects on the land and animals.

In the 1830s, the British Government began to look to South Africa for the abundant gold and diamond in the area, as well as, with the hopes of gaining control of the most strategic port and route to trade with India. The British acted quickly, and started to take control of the cape of South Africa. In 1833, they emancipated the Afrikaners’ slaves, created more taxes, and auctioned off previously communal land. This caused great rage within the Boer community. The Boers were Dutch and Huguenot people that migrated to South Africa in the late 17th century (Great Trek). Starting in 1835, the Boers left their homeland with the goal of starting a new life free from British rule. The majority of the migrants left from the Eastern frontier of South

Bang. One shot was all it took for him to be gone and for her to be free to love her king for eternity. It all started eleven years ago, the Wailing Wench was sailing to Port Royal when the first mate Mr. Gibbs spotted something in the water. “Man overboard, man overboard”, he yelled as he threw a fishing net to reel in what seemed like a young girl. After resuscitating her, she awoke with a gasp that turned into a coughing fit. “Who are you? “, she yelled afraid as she began to fade into consciousness the last thing she saw was a man with dreads, a red bandana, gold teeth, dark eyes, and two braids as a goatee. After the girl passed out, Gibbs asked the captain, what will become of the girl, and the captain keeps silent. When she awoke, it was dark and curiosity besting her she got up and walked

I have just arrived from London this morning and the first thing in my agenda is to write you this email. I’m very sorry that I wasn’t able to thank you right away as I was a bit traumatized by what had happened to my daughter. Assuming the worse my only thought process at the time was to was to be with her, oblivious to how unappreciative I may have

In simple terms, the Diaspora as a concept, describes groups of people who currently live or reside outside the original homelands. We will approach the Diaspora from the lenses of migration; that the migration of people through out of the African continent has different points of origin, different patterns and results in different identity formations. Yet, all of these patterns of dispersion and germination/ assimilation represent formations of the Diaspora. My paper will focus on the complexities of the question of whether or not Africans in the Diaspora should return to Africa. This will be focused through the lenses of the different phases in the Diaspora.

Kittens rolled in my room, and does not seem inclined to leave. An endless grey shroud flew over the street. Everyone here had suddenly found their in a deep dark. Only few fluffy balls on my knees and a long, long polar night. No sounds, no stars. We were sitting there in silence when somebody knocked at the door. At night nightmares come in even closer. And only twenty five hours until

Now, there are several salient points that can be made about Symoné’s comments. Symoné’s concern with her inability to accurately trace her African roots is reminiscent of the Pan-Africanist point of view. In this interview, Raven is privileging the Pan- African point of view, deciding that her blackness cannot be validated unless she can show a clear connection to Africa. The Pan-Africanist point of view came about during the time of 18th century slave revolts and continued throughout the 19th century abolitionist movements and the rise of new antisystemic movements in the 1960s (Lao-Montes 311).

History is subjective because it is a subject that is based on a person’s knowledge and opinions. While some events have obvious causes, other events must be analyzed to find their true impetus. One complicated era from history that has a debatable cause is Apartheid. While some historians cite complex causes for Apartheid, most people in the general public simply believe racism was the root of the institution. While racism did factor into later practices of Apartheid, racism was merely a byproduct of the social and cultural effects of the institution. When evidence is examined, the real cause of Apartheid becomes obvious. This era of South African history was not simply based on social practices such as racism; Apartheid was rooted
