GENEVA-AFRICA

The Journal of the Geneva-Africa Institute

Africa in time past lent the European imagination that touch of exotic adventure which its own milieu did not always provide. That time is no more. Africa today seeks her own way through difficulties and incertitudes to which no one open to her desire to meet on terms of

equality can remain indifferent.

It is the wish of GENEVA-AFRICA to be an active partner in this unconditional dialogue, and to contribute to a deeper comprehension of the problems and opportunities facing an emergent Africa.

FROM ZANZIBAR TO UJJIIgJI,, 1THE J ( II 11N A L

O F AITHI IR W- DODGSHUNII

1B7/7 - 1579

edited

with an introduction

by

NORMAN ROBERT BENNETT

Arthur W. Dodgshun was a member of the London Missionary Society expedition to establish a mission station at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, a venture undertaken in 1876 in the wave of new support and interest in Africa following Livingstone's death. Because the site of Ujiji was nine hundred miles from the coast, one of the mission's major con- cerns was the problem of transport, as, unlike earlier independent travelers who had no plans for settling in the interior, the mission station would require a regular and extensive delivery of supplies. Dodgshun's journal, covering two years of this long and hazardous expedition, has been annotated by Norman Robert Bennett, whose introduction places the problem of inland transport in East Africa in historical perspective.

THE CENTRAL AFRICAN

JOURNAL

OF LOVELL J. PROCTER,

1861 - 1864

edited with an introduction by

Norman R. Bennett

and

Marguerite Ylvisaker

In 1857 David Livingstone called for the opening of Africa to commerce and Christianity, and for the destruction of the slave trade. The Universities' Mission to Central Africa dispatched an expedition to the Zambezi area in 1860 as a result of his challenge. The journal of one member, the former curate of a small Yorkshire parish, Lovell J. Procter, presents a valuable account of missionary life in Central Africa. Because of its location in the Shire-Lake Nyasa region, the mission was involved in the wars between the Nyanja and the encroaching Yao. As a member of this mission, which was closely tied to David Livingstone's Zambezi expedition, Procter has chroni- cled some of the European personalities of nineteenth-century Africa, such as David Livingstone, John Kirk, Charles Livingstone. The introduction by Norman R. Bennett and Marguerite Ylvisaker provides the broader historical background of the mission and presents material from other sources to fill out Procter's firsthand account.
