Resistance to Imperialism - How...

Arlo Holders

Imperialism, a system of domination and exploitation, has shaped the course of human history for centuries. At its core, imperialism refers to the policy of a nation extending its power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Colonization, often considered its most aggressive form, involves the establishment of control over a foreign territory, exploiting its resources, and subjugating its people. The roots of imperialism date back to ancient civilizations, but the most notable period of imperial expansion occurred between the 15th and early 20th centuries, driven by European powers such as Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal.
The Age of Exploration, beginning in the late 15th century, marked the beginning of a new era of European imperialism. With the development of advanced navigational technologies, European nations sought to expand their empires by discovering new trade routes and territories. Colonization became intertwined with economic ambition, as European countries sought access to valuable resources like gold, spices, and sugar. The discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 marked the start of extensive European colonization in the Western Hemisphere, followed by the establishment of colonies in Asia and Africa.
The motivations for colonization were multifaceted. Economically, European nations sought to control trade routes and establish lucrative colonies that could supply raw materials, which would fuel the industrial revolutions in Europe. Politically, nations pursued imperialism as a way to enhance their power and prestige on the world stage. Colonization also provided a solution to domestic issues, such as overpopulation and unemployment, by offering new lands for settlement and economic opportunity.

Tutan Hamen And The Discovery Of...

Howard Carter

“First steps of tomb found,” British archaeologist Howard Carter excitedly wrote across a page of his pocket diary on November 4, 1922. The next day’s excavation in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile River would reveal a tantalizing entrance. He quickly sent a telegram to Lord Carnarvon, who had been sponsoring his (mostly unsuccessful) investigations of Egyptian antiquities for several years and had reluctantly backed this final season: “At last have made wonderful discovery in Valley; a magnificent tomb with seals intact.” 
 
The subsequent opening of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s long untouched tomb and its burial chamber—and the dissemination of its treasures through photography, film, and traveling exhibitions—would captivate the world and transform a young Egyptian king whose reign was brief and little remembered into an icon of ancient mysteries. 
 
Because Tutankhamun’s tomb was largely undisturbed—there are indications it was robbed a couple of times in antiquity but then restored—it offered a rare view into ancient Egypt and its faith, culture, and funerary rites. Stories about its discovery and the gradual uncovering of its artifacts made front-page news across the globe, with reporters marveling at each opulently adorned statue and alabaster vase. On December 22, 1922, The New York Times published a first-hand account in which the author wrote: “No finer human interest story, no more thrilling drama, no greater archaeological revelations could be summoned from history or the most vivid imagination than is told by the mute objects in this tomb of King Tutankhamen.” 
 
Howard Carter was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who discovered the intact tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun in November 1922, the best-preserved pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings. This is his story!

The ANC Billionaires - Big...

Pieter Du Toit

'We were talking about the rise of Japan, about Ronald Reagan's Star Wars … globalisation, technology. And they were still banging on about the Freedom Charter.' – Anglo American's Michael Spicer on the ANC in the mid-1980s.
In 1985, a group of white South African business leaders, led by Gavin Relly, the executive chairperson of Anglo American, travelled to a game lodge in Zambia to meet with the exiled ANC leadership under Oliver Tambo and Thabo Mbeki. This visit set in motion a coordinated and well-resourced plan by big business to influence and direct political change in South Africa.
In The ANC Billionaires, top-selling author Pieter du Toit draws on first-hand accounts by major roleplayers about the contentious relationship between capital and the ANC before, during and after the country's transition to democracy, and shows how the liberation organisation was completely unprepared to navigate the intersection between business and politics.
He also ties the rise of the new elite – including Cyril Ramaphosa, Patrice Motsepe and Saki Macozoma – to the ANC, a party of government and patronage.
