EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1913 captures a bustling street scene outside the Courts of Justice in Senegal's capital city, Dakar. The image offers a glimpse into the historical context of French colonial rule in West Africa, as a few French colonials can be discerned among the diverse crowd gathered on the street.
The atmosphere is vibrant and dynamic, with people going about their daily lives against the backdrop of this important judicial institution. The architecture of the building itself reflects a blend of European influence and local African design elements, showcasing the complex interplay between cultures during this period.
As we study this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when Senegal was under colonial occupation and grappling with issues of justice and governance. The presence of French colonials serves as a reminder of power dynamics at play in this society, highlighting the unequal relationships that existed between colonizers and colonized peoples.
Overall, this print is not just a visual record but also a window into the past, shedding light on Senegal's history and its place within the broader narrative of African colonization. It invites us to reflect on themes of identity, agency, and resistance in an ever-evolving world.
