Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Entre l'année 1822 et les premières années du vingtième siècle, environ 15 000 nègres américains ont colonisé le Libéria sur un territoire qu'ils ont acquis des autochtones africains de la région. Ces colonisateurs aussi bien que les autochtones qui étaient beaucoup plus nombreux formaient la population du Libéria. Comme les colonisateurs possédaient la culture occidentale, ils se sentaient supérieurs aux autochtones qu'ils considéraient et traitaient comme leurs sujets de la même façon que faisaient les Anglais et les Français envers leurs sujets africains. Ils monopolisaient le gouvernement et s'emparaient de toutes les prérogatives civiles et politiques; ils pratiquaient l'assimilation et l'administration des autochtones par un système de gouvernement indirect; ils exploitaient le capital et le travail de ces derniers. Néanmoins, ayant à faire face au mécontentement de la part des Africains et aux déclarations d'indépendance dans plusieurs anciennes colonies européennes d'Afrique, les gouverneurs ont introduit en 1964 des mesures accordant des droits politiques aux populations autochtones.
Canadian Journal of African Studies is competitive with the best scholarly journals on Africa in the world. It publishes articles principally in the areas of anthropology, political economy, history, geography, and development of the continent. Many of the articles are interdisciplinary in approach, especially those which seek to assess the origins, nature, and success of development strategies. A continuing feature section called "Debates and Commentaries / Débats et commentaires" presents divergent viewpoints on current issues; these permit the reader to keep abreast of informed opinion on policy-relevant questions. The occasional research notes have permitted university students, recognized academics, and public policy makers to keep in touch with the latest writing, opinion, and research sources on African issues. A book review and review essay section completes each issue with pithy critiques of recent books and reports on the continent or individual regions or countries.
