Language in the colonization of Central Africa, 1880-1900
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This is an Author's Original Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Canadian Journal of African Studies on 1989 available online at http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/00083968.1989.10804256. ; In the colonization of central Africa along the Congo (Zaire) and Ubangi rivers in the last two decades of the nineteenth century whites recruited workers irrespective of the problems that would arise from their ignorance of European languages and of the problems they would have in communicating with each other. If a potential worker knew some English, French, or Portuguese, as was frequently true of those recruited on the west coast, it was to his advantage; he got a better position and was paid more, (Linguistic competence was not, of course, rewarded for its own sake, What counted was the work that the African could do, the role he could play.) The bilingual was naturally more valuable to whites than someone who knew only his own or some other African language, But the linguistic factor, it must be emphasized, was never a deciding one in a person's being hired for general work. There is no evidence whatsoever that restricted linguistic competence ever put an African at a disadvantage in recruitment, all that mattered was a person's willingness to work under the contract set by the white recruiting agent.
