GROUP MAP EXERCISE
This assignment asks you and a partner to trace out the
genealogies and colonial legacies of African nations that
continue to surface in the contemporary United States. The
borders of nations in Africa are, in large part, the result of the
so-called “scramble for Africa” and the 1884-1885 Berlin
Conference, which divided the continent of Africa up among the
European powers. In your two-person group you will create a
map of contemporary Africa underwritten by these genealogies

14. and legacies of colonial power. This requires you to do three
things.
1. First, determine the date of independence for each of the
countries below (year only). Most will be straight forward. A
few will be more difficult to determine. Make note of these.
2. Second, determine from whom the country became
independent. In other words, what colonial powers ruled the
territory that became the nation? Many of these will be Britain
and France. A few will be Portugal, Spain, Germany, or Italy. A
few may have more complicated histories. Make note of these,
also. Wikipedia or another encyclopedic reference should be
sufficient for completing these first two parts of this
assignment.
3. Finally, locate each country on the map. Using the included
color code, color in each nation according to its colonial
history—a few countries may need to remain uncolored. Then
label each country with its name and date of independence. Add
any important notes on dates and colonial powers in the
margins. You’re done!
PLEASE NOTE: Be sure you are putting your labels on the right
places. On the attached map, there is no land mass for São Tomé
and Príncipe, Comoros, or Seychelles. The fillable map on
Canvas has no land mass for Cape Verde or Seychelles. In either
case, label the approximate site of each.

“There was a vast amount of red—good to see at any time
because one knows that some real good work is done there--a
deuce of a lot of blue, a little green, smears of orange, and on
the East Coast, a purple patch, to show were the jolly pioneers
of progress drink the jolly lager beer. However I wasn't going to

18. any of these. I was going to the yellow. Dead in the centre. And
the river was there—fascinating—deadly—like a snake.”
