The Aquatic Civilization of Middle Africa
TL;DR: The main stage of Leakey's 'Kenya Capsian' culture is essentially the local manifestation of this far-flung ‘aquatic civilization' as mentioned in this paper, which was clearly an African invention and reflected important developments in gastronomy and home life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malindi in Retrospect - The History of Malindi: a geographical analysis of an East African coastal town from the Portuguese period to the present . By Esmond Bradley Martin. Nairobi: East African Literature Bureau, 1973. Pp. xvi + 301, maps, tables and photos. Soft cover: no price given.
TL;DR: Malindi was founded by Majid of Zanzibar as mentioned in this paper in 1861 and became the capital of a separate sultanate from Oman, projecting itself purposefully onto the mainland littoral with new towns and plantations exploited by slave labour.
Journal ArticleDOI
East Africa . By W. T. W. Morgan. London, Longman (Geographies for Advanced Study), 1973. Pp. xx + 410, numerous figures and photos. £5.
TL;DR: The most fundamental weakness of this book, largely responsible for the distortions noted above, lies in its almost exclusively political orientation as discussed by the authors, and is particularly glaring in the case of South Africa itself, and is curious in view of the fact that Marianne Cornevin reminds us of the phenomenal economic strength of the Republic, which towers over the rest of black Africa.
