Placing the Military in African History: A Reflection
In: Journal of African military history, Band 1, Heft 1-2, S. 112-119
ISSN: 2468-0966
While discussions of the military are notably absent in academic African History, it doesn't mean that the subject is absent from the history left by the Africans. Sources that have been used for generations contain extensive discussions of the organization, arming, training, and utilization of military forces in Africa by Africans, but these aspects of the sources are largely ignored or interpreted within the frame of other violent activity, such as slave raiding. However, simply by their existence, these sources offer future generations the opportunity to expand and finally tell the story of formal military activity in Africa. This in turn will allow for the creation of a more complete record of African political, social, and even state-building activity before the advent of European colonization.

Les États de l'Angola et la formation de Palmares (Brésil)

RésuméAu début du XVIIe siècle, les esclaves en fuite créèrent les mocambos de Palmares et en firent un véritable État à l'intérieur du Brésil, gouverné par un roi et une classe dirigeante. Les historiens s'interrogent sur les origines de cet État, sur sa structure et ses institutions. Pourquoi un État hiérarchique ? La réponse est à chercher dans l'origine géographique des esclaves africains, dont beaucoup venaient d'Angola. Avant d'être réduits en esclavage, la plupart d'entre eux avaient été enrôlés dans les armées des États guerriers de la région et, selon John Thornton, c'est dans ces structures militaires que les esclaves sont allés chercher le modèle qui a conduit à l'élaboration d'une formation politique d'un type nouveau.
