Library resources for
Ethnography of urban Africa

1. Reference resources and guidebooks

Browse the Humanities & Social Sciences (H & SS) Reference area in Library West for overviews of African (or world) countries, cultures and cities. Urban issues and themes (case studies, surveys of popular culture, maps, etc.) relating to Africa may be collected together in more general materials (i.e. world, Third World or developing areas, housing issues, urbanization). These resources will lead you to more specific academic sources in the book stacks or journal literature (check the suggested readings, references cited and bibliography sections as you review relevant items).

The library's Key Resources in Anthropology page provides a number of links to resources that you may find useful in this course and in your other anthropology courses. AnthroSource is a particularly relevant and useful resource: I ran a quick search "African colonial city" and got back 1,653 matches in journals as recent as the past few months (a better focused search would improve the relevance of and reduce false matches in these results).

Numerous travel and tour guides ("guidebooks" is the catalog subject term, so include it in keyword searches to improve your results) are available for African regions, countries and for some individual cities or touristic destinations. Some European tourism company and national government promotional guides (e.g. world and colonial expositions) have been published for over 100 years and can provide an interesting historical perspective on travel and tourism (e.g. Thomas Cook Ltd., Cook's Tours, Fodor's, the Karl Baedeker firm). More recent Bradt, Footprint, Globetrotter, Let's Go, Lonely Planet, On a Shoestring, Rough Guides and other popular guide series (including some African-published titles) can also be very good sources of information that may be difficult to find elsewhere. Note that the Architecture and Fine Arts Library houses materials relating to Urban & Regional Planning. Also note that annotations in bibliographies can save you time in shelf browsing (and retrievals), leading you directly to your primary areas of interest.

4. Electronic resources: academic databases, newspapers, journals & indexes

Browse the Key Resources in African Studies and Key Resources in Anthropology pages for electronic books, journals, indexes, databases and other frequently used resources, which for the most part are accessible only to UF-affiliated users (use your GatorLink account, a campus networked workstation or the proxy server from a private ISP). See the library's Connecting from Off-Campus page if you need additional help.

Urban forum, an academic journal on urban issues and policies, is published in South Africa and is available in electronic form, full text from 2001-present (six month delay).

Newspapers (in original paper or on microfilm) in the library can be identified using keywords (esp. the city of interest) from the Advanced Search option in the library catalog: select "newspaper" under "limit format by..." News digests such as Africa Confidential can also be a good way to identify topics of interest for further research. Other sources for current issues in the news include:

• Africa Today
• African business
• Jeune Afrique l'Intelligent. SMATHERS LIBRARY -- Current Periodicals (1st Floor) -- AP27 .J4 [In-Library Use]
• Africa Research Bulletin: Political Series Ref DT1 .A2283 
• Africa Research Bulletin: Economic Series Ref HC 501 .A534

Electronic newspapers from Africa can be identified using the following:

• Abyz news links (a commercial site with a few text-based advertisements) includes many electronic papers from Africa on its site. Eleven papers from Accra are included (organized by region), but without notes to provide context.
• Columbia University Library's African Resources site includes an Electronic Newspapers of Africa page, which is an excellent source for finding African newspapers in electronic form (organized alphabetically, with excellent annotations).
• Various current events, news & mass communications resources for Africa are available on the Current events page (see Africana Collection Contents page).

5. Maps & special collections (rare books, manuscripts)

Graduate students may wish to consider using primary materials available through the Department of Special and Area Studies Collections. Local manuscript resources relating to Africa are listed, but the Berner (Accra, Dakar, Johannesburg, Marrakech photographs and postcards from c. 1942-44) and Rikli (photos of Addis Ababa, 1935-36) papers may be the most relevant. Travellers' accounts (including hunters, adventurers, traders, missionaries and early tourists) and promotional publications from colonial expositions may be available in the rare books collection or in the general collections as later or reprint editions, microfilm, etc.

Atlases or current and antique maps from the Map & Imagery Library may also prove to be useful resources for your work. In less than an hour, I reviewed the atlas collection in the Map & Imagery Library and identified a wide variety of African city maps in the following sources (some are available in other library locations as noted):

7. Advanced keyword searching

The advanced keyword search screen in the library catalog is a helpful tool for narrowing searches. Using the examples above, for instance, you may find that exact phrases ("urban poor" "environmental aspects" "informal sector") can be very effectively combined with individual terms (your city or area of interest, or a second phrase such as "Cape Town Metropolitan Area") to create a search that leads you directly to a few highly relevant sources. There are more than 500 titles in the library's collection of the World bibliographical series and nearly 400 titles beginning with Historical dictionary of.... Use these terms as exact phrases in advanced searches along with keywords for your city or country.
