What are the marxist ideas on the development of pre-colonial African societies?
Not much to write home about. Little was known in Europe in Marx's day, and he tended to write off pre-colonial societies. Some see an African variant of a stagnant "Asiatic mode of production", others a local feudalism with some slavery thown in, some a slave-based economy developing feudal elements. A few adventurous souls have hypothesised an "African mode of production" based on village organisation modified by long-distance trade.
How do you describe the rise and fall of African states and societies?
Rise- The Africans were pushed out of Europe for their religious beliefs and were forced to start their own states alone. For a while everyone was happy with making their own laws and doing what ever they pleased. They built houses and provided crops for the women to grow food. The men were hunter gatherers. Fall-The African states could not produce enough food for the amount of children they were having. Children and adults started to die due to famine and starvation. Then the spartan ninja's came back to life and began to kill innocent africans, this was the biggest cause for the fall of the African states and societies.
How did the slave trade cause a power shift in Africa?
By helping supply the Europeans with the slave trade, the rulers of certain African states were able to increase their power by acquiring more slaves for themselves. The slave trade also transformed the existing states and societies in Africa. As states sought to expand at the expense of their neighbors, instability and warfare came about. The military became important. The slave trade became an extension of African politics. African governments in the enslaving societies became more centralized while the those who bore the brunt of the slaving attacks became anti authoritarian. There was also a shift in the locus of power. Before the Europeans, the powerful African states were those that were in central Africa and could influence the trans-Saharan trade routes. Once the Europeans arrived, the power shifted to those states which were closer to the coast.
