Introduction In the nineteenth century, the body of the black female symbolized three themescolonialism, scientific evolution, and sexualityand her representation in art and photography followed along these prescribed lines. Almost exclusively, black women were depicted in two ways: as nudes, generally of an ethnographic nature, or (usually) clothed in the company of a nude or sexually suggestive white female. The black woman occupied, like a prop or piece of drapery, through her real status as servant/slave/colonized subject, the lowest rung in a socio-economic hierarchy, serving the ends of private pleasure or economic/imperial domination. A number of significant developments in Western culture that coincided with the invention of photography contributed to the way in which black women were regarded and visualized. The births of popular culture and modern visual pornography, the development of the natural sciences and the related disciplines of ethnology and anthropology, and the abolition of slavery both in the colonies and at home were all practically simultaneous, and each served to compartmentalize, objectify, and categorize any manifestations of difference from the European ideal. In addition, with new industrial-based economies in Europe and the United States and the subsequent urbanization of their populations, a middle class was born and with it the modern notion of a popular culture specific to its interests.

Extractions: Precolonial Angola and the Arrival of the Portuguese Although the precolonial history of many parts of Africa has been carefully researched and preserved, there is relatively little information on the region that forms contemporary Angola as it was before the arrival of the Europeans in the late 1400s. The colonizers of Angola, the Portuguese, did not study the area as thoroughly as British, French, and German scholars researched their colonial empires. The Portuguese, in fact, were more concerned with recording the past of their own people in Angola than with the history of the indigenous populations. The limited information that is available indicates that the original inhabitants of present-day Angola were hunters and gatherers. Their descendants, called Bushmen by the Europeans, still inhabit portions of southern Africa, and small numbers of them may still be found in southern Angola. These Khoisan speakers lost their predominance in southern Africa as a result of the southward expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples during the first millennium A.D. The Bantu speakers were a Negroid people, adept at farming, hunting, and gathering, who probably began their migrations from the rain forest near what is now the Nigeria-Cameroon border. Bantu expansion was carried out by small groups that made a series of short relocations over time in response to economic or political conditions. Some historians believe that the Khoisan speakers were peacefully assimilated rather than conquered by the Bantu. Others contend that the Khoisan, because of their passive nature, simply vacated the area and moved south, away from the newcomers.

Extractions: By Pratap Chatterjee, September 3, 1998 Deep in the heart of the Venezuelan Amazon, tucked away in the vast native grasslands of south-eastern Siberia, high up in the Rocky Mountains, just below a glacier near the Equator in the South Pacific and somewhere near the Atlantic shores of southern Africa, are just a few of the places that "Toxic Bob" has searched for the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Gold speculator extraordinaire Robert Friedland, a dual citizen of Canada and the United States whose personal fortune exceeds US$400 million, acquired the nickname "Toxic Bob" in 1969 when he was busted for trying to peddle 8,000 "hits" of the hallucinogenic drug LSD to an undercover drug agent in Portland, Maine. (Another 16,000 hits were also recovered from Friedland and his two accomplices making it the largest drug haul in the state at the time). Names and reputations change over the course of history and by 1998, 29 years later, he has acquired a very different set of nicknames such as "Canada's Next Billionaire," a name given him in 1996 by Maclean's, a Toronto-based weekly newsmagazine, for his largely successful attempts at peddling shares in gold and nickel mines. The same year the Canadian Prospectors and Developers Association named him Mining Developer of the Year in 1996 while some financial analysts have gone even further in their adulation such as George Chelekis of "Stocks Whispers Special Report" who once said: "Remember that Friedland is a mystic visionary who wills stocks upward, even where gold can't be profitably mined."
