What to do right now -- then proceed to LB-70 onward

Go directly to ELMS:

https://elms.umd.edu

From there, read Johnson, pp. 86 through to the end, about forty pages. You will recognize key signposts starting on p. 86 and then move through the chapter.

I remind you this is a reading course set at the 400 level and you have volunteered for the ride.

Identify Johnson's political point of view best you can, and evaluate what he is saying.

See ya,

Note to students

1. Log Book of the NLGMC, 55: "King's Son" is Khama III (son of Sekgoma), not "Sekgoma Khama" as I errantly wrote. But the trek is in African-controlled territory.

2. The Log Book entries in the 50s are clickable in the October archive (side bar) of Log Book II (hist419e2.blogspot.com), whence they appear on screen.

3. The NLGMC ox wagon trekkers are in Botswana at this point -- or rather, they are on territory ruled by Africans, and in which white settlers have not made inroads. The British Imperium is an ambiguous force supporting chiefs and not white settlers, and not simply the oppressor.  The vast eastern Kalahari, soon to be the Bechuanaland Protectorate, today "Botswana," included only small domains in which private landowners and mining consortia had worked out deals with chiefs or (in the case of Tati) with the British presence. Even after the Bechuanaland Protectorate was established (creating Botswana), whites controlled only small pieces of territory directly: including the Tati District, wherein lay Francistown.
