Oliver Joseph (Joe) Nanini (1955 – December 4, 2000) was an American rock drummer, most famous for being the percussionist and a founding member of new wave group Wall of Voodoo during their heyday in the 1980s he was known for playing pots, pans and many other objects. This arrangement can be seen in the motion picture 'Urgh! A Music War' in which Wall Of Voodoo performed a live version of the song 'Back In Flesh' from the Dark Continent album, and also later in the video for hit single Mexican Radio. Along with Stan Ridgway and Bill Noland, he left the band after their performance at the US Festival in 1983.

Their youngest daughter was displeased with her nursery school, and the family soon learned that her frustration involved language. Achebe helped her face the "alien experience" (as he called it) by telling her stories during the car trips to and from school.Ezenwa-Ohaeto, p. 174. As he presented his lessons to a wide variety of students (he taught only one class, to a large audience), he began to study the perceptions of Africa in Western scholarship: "Africa is not like anywhere else they know ... there are no real people in the Dark Continent, only forces operating; and people don't speak any language you can understand, they just grunt, too busy jumping up and down in a frenzy".

Stewart also had many different goals for Lovedale which he described in his book Dawn in the Dark Continent: # To take young men of intellectual and spiritual qualifications and train them to be preachers. # To train young men and women as teachers for native mission schools. # To give education in various industrial arts, such as carpentering, waggon-making, blacksmithing, printing, bookbinding, telegraphy, and agricultural work of various kinds, to natives, that they may become industrious and useful citizens." # To give a general education of an elementary kind to all whose course in life has not been definitely determined" Through these goals Stewart aimed at providing a complete education, which also prepared the students for the workforce.

The narrative of the Sky-Maiden was collected in song form from the Ndau people, titled Legend and Song of the Sky-Maiden: the daughter of a powerful chief who lived in the sky and her attendants go down to Earth to bathe, and it becomes a dare amongst the royal princes to see who can fetch her plume/feather - the symbol of her otherwordliness. The victor is a poor man who, as a subversion of the common narrative, gets to live with his sky-wife in her abode.Burlin, Natalie Curtis. Songs and tales from the dark continent, recorded from the singing and the sayings of C. Kamba Simango ... and Madikane Cele.

AC Comics was founded as Paragon Publications in 1969, though its first recorded titles—Paragon Presents and White Savage—were not released until 1970. Other titles from Paragon's beginnings included Fem Fantastique and Paragon Golden Age Greats (1971), Macabre Western and Captain Paragon (1972), Paragon Magazine and Paragon Super Heroes (1973), Tara on the Dark Continent (1974), and Paragon Illustrated and Paragon Western Stars (1975). The company's early titles were cheaply published black-and-white comics. Though the company published several titles simultaneously, they were only able to produce a total of three issues a year, since nearly all writing, inking, and editing on the comics was done by Bill Black himself during this period.

One of the goals of the magazine was to dispel the "grotesque stereotypes" of the "Dark Continent", a disparaging term used for Africa and its people. Middle-class African-American children "consumed this propaganda along with the white children who were its implied audience" in children's literary works such as the magazine St. Nicholas. The 1919 article "The True Brownies" included commentary by Du Bois discussing children, stating that "to seek to raise them in ignorance of their racial identity and peculiar situation is inadvisable—impossible", in which the use of the phrase "peculiar situation" is an allusion to the euphemism "peculiar institution", meaning slavery. Du Bois believed children should be taught their racial identity and social situation.

Its Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck (1862–90), long opposed colonial acquisitions, arguing that the burden of obtaining, maintaining, and defending such possessions would outweigh any potential benefits. He felt that colonies did not pay for themselves, that the German bureaucratic system would not work well in the tropics and the diplomatic disputes over colonies would distract Germany from its central interest, Europe itself.Thomas Pakenham, The Scramble for Africa: White Man's Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876 to 1912 (1992) ch 12 However, public opinion and elite opinion in Germany demanded colonies for reasons of international prestige, so Bismarck was forced to oblige. In 1883–84 Germany began to build a colonial empire in Africa and the South Pacific.

Rubaga Lubaga hill was the location of the main palace of Kabaka Muteesa IStanley, H.M., 1899, Through the Dark Continent, London: G. Newnes, who ruled Buganda between 1856 and 1884. The palace was struck by lightning and burnt to the ground. In 1882 the king's (Kabaka's) palace was relocated to present-day Kasubi hill were Kabaka Muteesa I died and was buried in that palace and as all subsequent dead Kings of Buganda are at this Kasubi Tombs on Kasubi hill. The first Roman Catholic missionaries to arrive in Buganda were Frenchmen, Father Pierre Lourdel Monpel and Brother Amans, who settled near the hill in 1879 As the Catholic Church took root in the country, the missionaries were allocated land on Lubaga Hill.

The final panel Britannia Pacificatrix shows how the Anglo-Saxon race achieved the world domination following the British victory in the World War I. All the allies and other nations are deemed less important, while the peace at Versailles is shown as the fulfilment of God's kingdom on earth. This is made clear by the words 'Gloria in excelsis Deo' (Glory to God in the highest), connected to the birth of Christ, framing the architectural backdrop. In the corner there is what Goetze referred to as 'a little Swahili boy', to 'remind us of our obligations, and the possibilities, in the dark continent'. Between 1912 and 1921 Goetze painted a mural scheme for the Foreign Office depicting the Origin, education, development, expansion and triumph of the British Empire.

Up until this point, Africa was known as "the Dark Continent" because of the difficulties Europeans had with exploration. Over the next few years, Stanley overpowered and made treaties with over 450 native tribes, acquiring him over of land, nearly 67 times the size of Belgium. Neither the Belgian government nor the Belgian people had any interest in imperialism at the time, and the land came to be personally owned by King Leopold II. At the Berlin Conference in 1884, he was allowed to have land named the Congo Free State. The other European countries at the conference allowed this to happen on the conditions that he suppress the East African slave trade, promote humanitarian policies, guarantee free trade, and encourage missions to Christianize the people of the Congo.

Livingston: Banovich Fine Art Publishing, 2009. Print. The title of the painting was a tribute to the big tuskers who once inhabited the Dark Continent. The painting of a life-size elephant proved to be a taxing ordeal for the artist, with immense detail in the endless wrinkles and folds of skin, across a ten by ten foot canvas. “The painting (Once Upon a Time) just reminds me so much of the real thing. It’s the details that count: the wrinkles on the tusk and brow, the clouds of dust rising from the massive feet, the birds scampering to avoid the charge. That’s like the real thing that you would see in Africa.” - Richard Childress, President/CEO of Richard Childress RacingWestern Art and Architecture, Swimming with Giants, 2009.

Some of his later smaller works are signed A M Ury. (As late as 1932, the Swiss-American Historical Society published a book on Swiss-Americans where his name was inaccurately stated as Adolph Felix Muller-Uri.) In 1889 he painted a portrait of John R. Brady a New York Judge which was apparently presented to the American Bar Association. He may have travelled in North Africa in the summer of 1889 after visiting the Exposition Universelle as he dated a Portrait of a North African man with a Gun (previously known as Portrait of an Arab; Private Collection, London) that year and exhibited a picture called In the Dark Continent at the National Academy of Design in New York at the end of that year (No. 105; lost).

In discussion of her photography, Mark Stevens wrote in the New York Magazine Art Review, "It was a shock- an awakening shock- to come upon the bursting contemporary colours worn by the fashion-struck people portrayed by Nontsikelelo "Lolo" Veleko on the streets of Johannesburg". Critic Leslie Camhi has related the fashion-savvy subjects of Veleko's street portraits to the widely recognisable image of "hipsters" "dressed in electric, Kool-Aid colours [whose] incorrigible chic and appropriations of Western icons...proclaim them heirs to Ke dandified Bamakois bourgeoisie". Leslie Camhi of The Village Voice (2006) further noted: :If independence has a style, this is it- vivid, highly individualised, and a touch defiant. These images are antidotes to the prevailing view of the "dark continent" as a place of entropy and despair; these are people in charge of at least their own sartorial destiny.

Like a number of other Warner short film series, these black and white films enjoyed a second life as educational material for public schools until judged passé by the 1950s as more African travelogues were available in color. Like other cinematic adventures into the “Dark Continent” and Tarzan films of the 1920s and ’30s, the narration regarding “native” life may occasionally be questioned by modern viewers. Positively, there is much interaction between the Hubbards and their associates with the tribesmen shown. (Hubbard previously published a book in 1926, titled Wild Animals: A White Man’s Conquest of Jungle Beasts, but there’s little ridicule of other races and the few hunting scenes are for village meat, not trophies.) In July 2011, the Warner Archive Collection released the feature film on DVD as part of a double bill with Kongo (1932 film).

After the death of Majid, Barghash became Sultan. Women at the Court of the Sultan of Zanzibar, 1880s According to Ruete, Barghash did not release Khalifah before one of their sisters prepared to set out for a pilgrimage for Mecca, and "he did not want to bring down upon himself a curse pronounced in the Holy City of the Prophet. But his sister did not pardon him before he had set free the innocent Chalîfe." Barghash is credited with building much of the infrastructure of Stone Town, including roads, parks, hospitals, piped water, and public baths, including the Hamamni Persian Baths. Sayyid Barghash had a treaty with the British to help stop the slave trade in Zanzibar,Stanley, H.M., 1899, Through the Dark Continent, London: G. Newnes, but he was not always scrupulous in his commitment.

On 14 February 1877, according to his colleague, Frank Pocock's diary, Stanley's nine canoes, and his sectional boat the 'Lady Alice', were attacked and followed by eight canoes, crewed by Africans with firearms. In Stanley's book, 'Through the Dark Continent', Stanley inflated this incident into a major battle, by increasing the number of hostile canoes to 60 and adjusting the casualties accordingly. Stanley wrote with some measure of satisfaction when describing how Captain John Hanning Speke, the first European to visit Uganda, had been punched in the teeth for disobedience to Mbarak Bombay, a caravan leader also employed by Stanley, which made Stanley claim that he would never allow Bombay to have the audacity to stand up for a boxing match with him. In the same paragraph, Stanley described how he several months later administered punishment to the African.

The poetry evening session featured season African poets like Nick Makoha, Logan February, Saddiq Dzukogi, Inua Elams, Ishion Hutchinson, Wana Udobang, Nastio Mosquito and Theresa Lola. Attendees were also treated to a drama adapted from the book "Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives" authored by Nigerian author and founder of the festival, Lola Soneyin. The 2018 Festival films featured plays like Rafiki; a Kenyan drama film directed by [Kahui], Her Broken Shadow by Dilman Dila amongst a host of other interesting films. One of the interesting sessions of the festival was writing workshop titled "Getting Started on that Novel" by author and screenwriter Ben Aaronovitch, who gave emerging African writers useful tips on how to write the best fictional novel. Other events like panel discussions and memory room titled "West Africa: Word, Symbol, Song" which was hailed as a ‘landmark exhibition’ which ‘exploded the myth of the dark continent’ lighted the festival with its peak during festival's concert by perennial guest artists in Salawa Abeni and Brymo.

Born in Stryj, Nowak lived in Poznań following World War I. From 1931 to 1936, he traveled alone, by bicycle, on foot, on horse, by boat and on camel across Africa, covering a distance of 40,000 km from Libya to Cape Agulhas, South Africa and back to Algeria. He died in Poznań from pneumonia as a consequence of emaciation of the body due to travel, malaria, and leg surgery. Photographs from his African travel were published in Poland in 1962 in the album Przez Czarny Ląd (Across the Black Land). The book was edited by Nowak's daughter Elżbieta Nowak-Gliszewska and photographs were selected after consultation with professors Jan Czekanowski and Jerzy Loth. Kazimierz Nowak's accounts of the travel were first published jointly only as late as 2000, in a book entitled Rowerem i pieszo przez Czarny Ląd (Across the Dark Continent). The Polish reporter Ryszard Kapuściński said in 2006 that it "is an utterly exceptional book", and added that: > Its content and the personality of the writer account for its compelling > nature.

Comparison of Africa in the years 1880 and 1913 From 1884 to 1885, European powers, along with the United States, convened at the Berlin Conference in order to settle colonial disputes throughout the African continent and protect the economic interests of their colonial empires. The conference was the primary occasion for partitioning, what Europeans commonly referred to as, "the dark continent." Africa was to be partitioned by five primary European powers, Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, and Italy, along with King Leopold II of Belgium.Harlow 2003, p. 1. In 1898, Polish-British author Joseph Conrad remarked in Heart of Darkness on how Europeans used color swatches to denote their territorial claims over Africa, a common practice in the period: > There was a vast amount of red [Britain] – good to see at any time, because > one knows that some real work is done there, a deuce of a lot of blue > [France], a little green [Portugal], smears of orange, and, on the East > Coast, a purple patch [Germany], to show where the jolly pioneers drink the > jolly lager beer.
