Indigenes travaillant au chemin de fer de la Nigeria du Nord; L'Ouest Africain, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph depicting a group of African workers toiling on the railway tracks of Northern Nigeria. The image is taken from the pages of "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," a French geography magazine published in 1914. The photograph captures a moment in time during the height of the British colonial era in Africa, specifically in the West African country of Nigeria. The workers, dressed in loincloths and barefoot, are seen laboriously laying railway tracks under the watchful gaze of a white supervisor. The railway line stretches out into the distance, a testament to the extensive infrastructure development under British colonial rule. The photograph provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of colonial labor practices, where African workers were subjected to grueling manual labor under the hot African sun. The contrast between the white supervisor and the black workers highlights the power dynamics of the colonial era, with the former holding the reins of authority and the latter being relegated to menial labor. The photograph also underscores the significance of railway transportation in the colonial project. Railways facilitated the movement of goods and people, enabling the exploitation of natural resources and the expansion of trade networks. The railway line in the photograph is a symbol of the British Empire's reach and influence in Africa, as well as its ability to harness the continent's resources for its own benefit. Overall, "Indigenes travaillant au chemin de fer de la Nigeria du Nord; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" is a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism in Africa and the human cost of imperial expansion. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on the experiences of African workers during this period and the role of railways in shaping the continent's economic and political landscape.
