This is episode 240 and our swivels to the north - a Great Apostle for Confederation and the pre-Scramble for Africa Geopolitical Omlette. Part of this story is a continuation of the Langalibalele Affair in Natal which had created the perception that the authorities there were unable to cope. This provided an opportunity for Colonial office back in England to consider radical moves like forcing through a Confederation of South African colonies. Throughout the 1870s, Lord Carnarvon the British Secretary of State for the Colonies attempted to unite both the colonies and the Boer Republics into a self-governing — settler self-governing — dominion under the British flag. This was a somewhat grandiose scheme and there's a heady debate amongst historians about why Carnarvon tried to do this. We're going to take a closer look at what was going on internationally and how South Africa factored into this global picture because its part of the story. The concept of a confederated South Africa was obviously opposed by the Boer Republics. More significantly, it was also opposed by the Molteno Administration of the Cape Colony which was the biggest and the richest South African state by far. Liberal humanist historians believe Carnarvon wanted confederation to protect blacks from the colonials - but that's a shallow version of events. It was in Natal where the largest portion of the white population favoured confederation but even there lieutenant Governor Chilly Pine described an ‘apathy and indifference' to the policy by some. John X Merriman who was a member of Molteno's cabinet said “The fact is that the cry for Confederation is purely an extraneous one, born in the brain of Lord Carnarvon, local prejudice and local jealousy tending the other way…” Molteno and his Merriman were focused on infrastructure, work had begun on the Cape Parliamentary buildings in 1874, government funding of education was legislated, and the Molteno Government also established the South African public library system.  Nevertheless, in other circles in South Africa the call for Federation was growing — take the merchants of Port Elizabeth and a large section of English-speaking Natalians for example. With regard to the Port Elizabethans, the easterners as they were known, it was as matter of being dominated by western based politicians — western as in Western Cape just for clarification. Natal had yet to receive responsible government, unlike the Cape. Given the various political currents surging about the region, why did Carnarvon pursue the idea of Conferederation so aggressively? Theophilus Shepstone could be one reason. The Veteran of Natal's Native Affairs had met Carnarvon and converted him to what historian RL Cope calls an instrument of the sub-imperialist forces emanating from Natal. There was as paradox here. The tiny white minority of Natal was fearful of the black majority and therefore harboured impulses to bring further tracts of African territory under British Control. It was this demographic imbalance that drove the colonials voice, but it was a contradictory position for any imperial government to take. Why support a tiny group — unlike in the Cape which had a vibrant economy and was dominated by settler interests both financially and demographically. For Natalians, the perpetual labour shortage seemed insurmountable, maybe a forced union of some sort would open up other colonies where labour could be exploited. With both Carnarvon and Shepstone believing in Confederation, trifling over black labour appeared to be the least of their challenges. Furthermore, in Port Elizabeth, a powerful voice supporting their position was also developing rapidly. And he had cash to burn. That was founder of the Standard Bank, John Paterson. As a leading Port Elizabeth merchant, the Cape Argus described him as “A great apostle of confederation..”

  In this episode of Grating the Nutmeg, Natalie Belanger tells us about how two journals kept by a Revolutionary War-era girl in the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History's  collection have inspired an original work of music.    Several years ago, Leonard Raybon (Associate Professor of Music at Tulane University) encountered two journals and other writings by Hannah Hadassah Hickok, held at the Connecticut Museum. Hannah was the matriarch of the non-conformist Smith Family of Glastonbury. Her daughters would go on to became nationally famous for protesting their lack of voting rights in the 1870s by refusing to pay their taxes — an act that resulted in the town of Glastonbury confiscating their property, including their beloved cows.   Inspired by the young Hannah's unique voice, Leonard composed an original mini-musical based on her writings. You'll hear Natalie and Leonard's conversation about what moved him to compose the piece and how it fits into his larger project of producing "Ameri-musicals" that use song to get us to think about the past.   Professor Raybon, the Connecticut Museum, and the Glastonbury Historical Society are partnering to present this work to the public in a one-time performance on November 8th, 2025 at 7:00 pm at First Church of Glastonbury at 2183 Main Street, Glastonbury. First Church was the Smith family's congregation, so it's a fitting place to host this unique musical experience! You can visit the CT Museum's website to learn more about the concert.   For more information on the Smith family, visit the CT Women's Hall of Fame, or read this excellent blog from the Library of Congress.    -------------------------------------- Like Grating the Nutmeg?

IS ISRAEL A COLONIAL ENTITY? 1. Is Israel truly a colonial state?Many argue that Zionism is just another form of colonialism. But does Israel's history actually fit the definition of colonialism?2. Are the Jewish people indigenous to the land of Israel, or not?The answer to this question lies at the heart of the debate over legitimacy.3. Does Zionism amount to settler colonialism?Or is it something fundamentally different — a movement of national liberation?This claim appears often in activist circles. But does it survive contact with Israel's demographics and history?

In Containing Decolonization: British Imperialism and the Politics of Race in Late Colonial Burma (Manchester University Press, 2025), historian Matthew Bowser examines British imperialism in late colonial Burma (from roughly 1929 to 1948) to study how imperialists attempted to protect their strategic and economic interests after decolonization: they did so by supporting ethnonationalism. This process resembles the Cold War tactic of “containment,” and the book makes a crucial contribution to the study of modern imperialism by demonstrating the continuity between “containment's” late- and “neo”-colonial manifestations. For Burma/Myanmar, it also explores the origin of the present-day military junta's racial regime: it emphasizes the protection of the ethnoreligious majority from ethnic minority insurgency. The Rohingya people are currently suffering a genocide because of this racial regime. As the country endures civil war against the junta, this book highlights how ethnonationalists in the late colonial period first promoted this racial regime to seize power and prevent revolution, a process supported by British imperialists for their own ends.

Message #5 “Replenishing Encouragement in the Dry Season” Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 5:24 & Survey Pastor Phil Whetstone August 31, 2025

Dans la région du Tchologo, dans le nord de la Côte d'Ivoire, les habitants de Kong tentent de valoriser leur patrimoine historique et religieux. Au cœur de la ville, figure la mosquée de style soudanais, classée au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Mais aussi plusieurs vestiges du passé colonial.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Kong, La case de Binger se trouve au cœur du centre-ville de Kong. C'est une maison faite de briques en argile, partiellement détruite et envahie d'herbes-hautes. Selon les habitants, l'explorateur français Louis-Gustave Binger aurait séjourné à Kong à deux reprises à partir du 20 février 1888. Les habitants l'auraient logé dans une case. Ce site a été conservé, car ce passage rappelle la position stratégique de Kong au XIXème siècle. « Kong était un carrefour commercial très important par où transitait presque tout : de l'or, du poisson sec, de la kola, explique Lucien Bogbé-Prévost, un guide touristique. Kong avait atteint une certaine prospérité, de sorte qu'elle était convoitée par plusieurs puissances occidentales. Et pendant son séjour, Gustave Binger a eu à signer plusieurs pactes avec la population locale. Parmi lesquels, on peut citer un pacte commercial. Il y avait également le pacte de la reconnaissance de l'islam en tant que religion. »  Au cœur du quartier Sirakoro, une stèle blanche, entourée d'arbustes. Il s'agit de la tombe de Moskowitz, un explorateur venu ici en 1894 pour alerter le colon français de la présence des Britanniques dans la région. Cette sépulture est entretenue par une habitante. C'est une marque de reconnaissance, selon Lucien Bogbé-Prévost : « Il était considéré comme un sauveur. Donc s'il décède à Kong, c'est normal qu'on l'enterre à Kong. C'est une manière de lui rendre hommage. » Signe de ces migrations et de l'islamisation du nord ivoirien, la grande mosquée, de style soudanais, de Kong : c'est une mosquée en terre, avec des charpentes en saillie. Construite au XVIIème siècle, cette mosquée a été détruite à trois reprises, notamment lors d'une offensive lancée par Samory Touré en 1897. Depuis, l'édifice a été reconstruit par les habitants.   Bafétigué Konaté est le président du comité de gestion de la grande mosquée. Tous les trois ans, les habitants procèdent au crépissage de cet édifice : « Il faut prendre une argile rouge. Il y a par ailleurs, un arbre en brousse, appelé foulougou. On coupe. On remplit trois ou quatre barriques. On mouille. Et on laisse reposer quelques jours. Ça devient ensuite comme du caoutchouc. On utilise cette matière à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la mosquée. »  La grande mosquée est classée au patrimoine de l'Unesco. Mais les visites sont encore timides. La faute, à l'insécurité : en 2020 et en 2021, deux attaques meurtrières affectent Kafolo, non loin de Kong. Depuis, l'armée ivoirienne sécurise les départements du Nord ivoirien. Et des cadres locaux s'organisent pour relancer les activités culturelles.  Parmi eux, Bamoussa Ouattara, 1er adjoint au maire et initiateur d'un festival célébrant la renaissance de Kong : « La Côte d'Ivoire a vécu une période de crise, une dizaine d'années et tout cela a impacté le tourisme. Mais ceci étant, la crise est derrière nous. Il n'y a aucun problème de sécurité à Kafolo. Les populations ont renoué avec leur train-train quotidien. Il y a même de grands travaux qui s'y déroulent. Donc, je pense que tout cela ne peut être possible que s'il y a la sécurité. » Cet acteur politique local espère notamment développer le tourisme religieux.  À lire aussiCôte d'Ivoire: la réussite de la relance du parc de la Comoé [1/2]

So last week we were kind of hard on Catholics and how they treated the Native peoples they encountered. Today, we're going to provide equal opportunity for the examination of how Protestants interacted with the Native people they encountered. **SPOILER** It doesn't go well. 

      About this episode:  Sometime in 1861, the young Georgia poet Sidney Lanier, a recent Confederate Army enlistee, attended a mock medieval tournament in Kinston, NC. Watching mounted Confederate officers dressed as knights competing for the honor of a local belle, he was moved…even enraptured. To him, the scene was a metaphor for the war itself. The South was a gallant knight battling against dark Northern materialistic forces. Defending hallowed chivalry. As Lanier put it, the Confederacy's war had “the sanctity of a religious cause” arrayed in “military trapping.” These men, this image of knights in shining armor, this lifestyle are what most remember of the antebellum South. Indeed, what many still want to remember. But they represented only a very thin slice of Southern society. About only one half of 1% of a total population of some nine million. And unlike royalty of old, those planters… those knights were part of  an aristocracy sired by property, not birth. Most of them self-made men from ordinary backgrounds whose influence was measured in the number of slaves they owned and the acreage of their plantations. Enjoying leisure and wealth, those few had the time and energy to pursue politics and, in positions of economic and political power, they enjoyed deference from the masses that made up the majority of the Southern white population. Deference which meant that majority followed the leadership and adopted the views of something they would never attain over the course of their entire existence. For this episode, we tell the story of a 19th century world filled with magnolia and cotton…populated with planters, yeomen farmers, “crackers” and the enslaved.  Taken together, the completed picture of a world…a culture that in five years would truly be “gone with the wind.” This is the story of the Antebellum South on the eve of civil war.   ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: John C.

Hi, I'm Heddels publisher David Shuck.You may remember me from previous Heddels podcasts like our History of Denim series, the Rise and Fall of Made in USA, and the one where Reed, Albert, and I just shot the breeze for an hour every week. I've been writing about owning things you want to use forever for well over a decade now. I've been everywhere from downtown Los Angeles to the deserts of Pakistan to understand where and how to find quality goods and the history of the people that make them.I've written and edited thousands of articles on jeans, boots, backpacks, bandanas, and nearly anything else made of cloth and leather. And, looking back, there are a few topics that I want to go a little deeper on in this new seasonal podcast series.Each episode, we'll tackle a single item, whether that's huarache sandals, Type II denim jackets, or the cast iron frying pan and I promise that by the end of it you'll know:Why it's importantWhere it came fromHow it's madeWho's making them todayHow to take care of itAnd, the real reason people listen to podcasts, at least three fun facts you can share at partiesWe'll be releasing these in mini-seasons with items appropriate to the weather, at least in the northern hemisphere (sorry Australians!)This first episode is about Madras, the Indian fabric that's really only famous in the US because Brooks Brothers cleverly remarketed a bad batch of it in the 50s. Let me know what you think and if you have any topics you'd like to hear about by emailing us at blowout@heddels.com, I hope you enjoy.Brands mentioned:The Original Madras Trading CompanyJ.PressGitman Bros.

Our listener Celia hails from South Africa and she wrote us about an experience she had at a historic museum located in the capital city of Pretoria. It's an awesome ghost story and we wondered if there were other haunted locations in Pretoria and sure enough, we found some! South Africa has only come up on the podcast one other time in all these years, so it was definitely time to revisit this country that has a history marked with turmoil because of apartheid and the ensuing massacres and uprisings and the struggle to transition to independence and Democracy. Ongoing challenges continue, but this is also a country of natural beauty in the landscape and its varied wildlife. The architecture is also diverse, represented with indigenous styles and contemporary styles, but also the historic styles of Victorian and Colonial. Join us for the history and hauntings of Pretoria, South Africa!

There's a Colonial Era hero who many people have never heard of – John Durkee. Ten years before the Declaration of Independence, Durkee stopped the highly unpopular British Stamp Act from taking effect in Connecticut. You won't believe how he did it, though. His actions spurred a movement that brought Jonathan Trumbull to the Governor's office, cementing CT's role as the only colony to officially back the Patriots during the Revolutionary War.

Jason talks about an interesting betting situation from Colonial and discusses some Labor Day racing memories from River Downs. Kellie Reilly joins for our weekly International Radar segment. 

Brasil tiene un oscuro pasado colonial muy vinculado a la utilización de mano de obra esclava, tanto indígena como negra, pero en los últimos años se ha convertido en un país referente en lo que a la lucha contra las diversas expresiones de la esclavitud hoy en día, como la explotación de menores, la trata de personas, y un largo etcétera.

In Imperial Creature: Humans and Other Animals in Colonial Singapore, 1819-1942 (National University of Singapore Press, 2019), Timothy Barnard explores the more-than-human entanglements between empires and the creatures they govern. What is the relationship between the subjugation of human communities and that of animals? How did various interactions with animals enable articulations of power between diverse peoples? This book is one of the first to tackle these questions in the context of a Southeast Asian colonial city. Drawing from rich, archival material and with an attentiveness to visual sources, this study analyses the varied and messy positioning of animals in a city – as sources of protein, vectors of disease, cherished pets and impressed labor. The book's deliberate focus on everyday animals such as dogs and horses – common in growing cities worldwide at the time – connects the history of colonial Singapore to a broader urban history, addressing what modernity means in terms of human-animal relationships. In our conversation, we discuss more-than-human-imperialism, the question of animal agency, the performative aspects of animal welfare and a few exciting, related reading recommendations by the author. Faizah Zakaria is an Assistant Professor of History at Nanyang Technological University. She is completing her first monograph on dialectical relationships between landscape and religious conversions in maritime Southeast Asia.

Se trata de un hito memorable en el reconocimiento de la violencia de los crímenes coloniales perpetrados por Francia. Uno de los tres craneos devueltos este 26 de agosto a Madagascar sería el del rey Toera, último soberano independiente del reino Sakalava de Menabe. Es la primera vez que Francia aplica una ley aprobada en 2023 con el objetivo de simplificar la restitución de los restos humanos pertenecientes a colecciones públicas.  Se trata de la historia de una violenta traición. El rey Toera ya había aceptado deponer las armas e iniciar negociaciones con las fuerzas coloniales cuando las tropas francesas lo asesinaron y decapitaron en la masare de d'Ambiky, perpetrada a finales de 1897 y en la que perecieron cientos, quizá incluso miles, de malgaches Con la cabeza del soberano, cayó todo el reino. El pueblo sakalava se vio privado de sus rituales y de su duelo, mientras que el cráneo del rey fue llevado lejos de su isla ancestral, a la tierra del colonizador. 128 años después, tras permanecer en el Museo del Hombre,  estos restos humanos expoliados y exiliados son devueltos oficialmente por Francia a Madagascar.  Para el historiador Jeannot Rasoloarison, profesor de historia contemporánea en la Universidad de Antananarivo y especialista en las luchas anticoloniales en Madagascar. se trata de un reconocimiento a la emancipación colonial   "Lo que queremos sobre todo con la restitución del cráneo de Ampajaka Toera y de los demás guerreros sakalava es una reparación memorial y material de los crímenes que los franceses cometieron durante la colonización. Es una forma de reconocer la existencia de las luchas anticoloniales". Madagascar presentó una solicitud de restitución en 2003, pero tuvo que esperar 15 años antes de se empezara la búsqueda del cráneo real. Sin embargo, fue imposible una identificación científica definitiva de esta reliquia debido a la mala calidad del ADN de los restos. El rito remplazó a la ciencia. Los restos fueron llevados a una ceremonia tradicional en Madagascar en la que alma del propio rey descendió al cuerpo de una mujer en trance, que pudo identificar su cráneo en una foto. Durante su visita a la Gran isla en abril, el presidente francés Emmanuel Macron dijo que esta restitución podría «crear las condiciones para el perdón por las páginas sangrientas y trágicas de la historia entre los dos países» ... Para el actual rey malgache , Georges Harea Kamamy es un momento importante de restitución de la memoria, pero sobre todo es un momento crucial en la historia del pueblo sakalava  "Para los sakalava, el regreso del rey Toera encarna dos dimensiones esenciales, la espiritual y la identitaria. Espiritual porque restablece el vínculo sagrado que faltaba en el linaje de losantepasados. Este eslabón perdido recupera por fin su lugar en la cadena del tiempo. Identitaria, porque el pueblo sakalava puede ahora reconectarse con lo que constituye su fuerza, una identidad forjada en la rebelión digna" El cráneo llegará el último día de agosto a a la ciudad de Ambiky, donde será objeto de ritos funerarios y conmemorativos será objeto de ritos y funerarios. Luego será trasladado al oeste del país, para ser enterrado en la tumba real donde se reunirá con los huesos de su esqueleto y con su linaje.

Colonialism is the gift that keeps on giving. Giving you feelings of ick and remorse anyway. Join the guys as the unwrap exactly where these seemingly well meaning people went so wrong.

This week we'll be talking with Nic Butler, the historian at the Charleston County Public Library. He has been digging into archives both here and in Britain, researching the life of George Anson. Anson, was an officer in the British Navy who, by the time of his death in 1762, had risen to its highest rank, First Lord of the Admiralty. He had also spent 9 years in South Carolina during its time of transition from a colony governed by the Lords Proprietors to a colony of the British Crown.That change wasn't instant and some of the history the colony's governance during the transition - as well as that of day-to-day life – are sometimes unclear. However, in researching George Anson, Nic Butler has both found a valuable through-line to this history and shone a light on Anson's own fascinating story.

Until now, the standard narrative of American religious history has begun with English settlers in Jamestown or Plymouth and remained predominantly Protestant and Atlantic. Driven by his strong sense of the historical and moral shortcomings of the usual story, Thomas A. Tweed offers a very different narrative in this ambitious new history. He begins the story much earlier—11,000 years ago—at a rock shelter in present-day Texas and follows Indigenous Peoples, African Americans, transnational migrants, and people of many faiths as they transform the landscape and confront the big lifeway transitions, from foraging to farming and from factories to fiber optics. Setting aside the familiar narrative themes, Dr. Tweed highlights sustainability, showing how religion both promoted and inhibited individual, communal, and environmental flourishing during three sustainability crises: the medieval Cornfield Crisis, which destabilized Indigenous ceremonial centers; the Colonial Crisis, which began with the displacement of Indigenous Peoples and the enslavement of Africans; and the Industrial Crisis, which brought social inequity and environmental degradation. The unresolved Colonial and Industrial Crises continue to haunt the nation, Dr. Tweed suggests, but he recovers historical sources of hope as he retells the rich story of America's religious past. Our guest is: Dr. Thomas A. Tweed, who is professor emeritus of American Studies and history at the University of Notre Dame. A past president of the American Academy of Religion, he is the editor of Retelling U.S. Religious History and the author numerous books including Religion: A Very Short Introduction, and Religion in the Lands That Became America. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who holds a PhD in American history. She works as a grad student and dissertation coach, and is a developmental editor for scholars in the humanities and social sciences. She is the producer of the Academic Life podcast and the author of the Academic Life newsletter, found at christinagessler.substack.com Playlist for listeners: The Lost Journals of Sacajewea Disabled Ecologies: Lessons From A Wounded Desert Gay on God's Campus How to Human The Good-Enough Life Mindfulness A Conversation About Yiddish Studies Welcome to Academic Life, the podcast for your academic journey—and beyond!
