\nExploring African agency through pre-colonial commodity trading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although her initial doctoral research at the C\u00b2DH focused on the spread and trade of guns and gunpowder across pre-colonial Africa, Lauren Coetzee realised there was a much broader story to be told about how Africa leveraged its agency in global trade. She shares more about her journey from South Africa to Luxembourg and her findings. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestled within the mountainous wine region near Cape Town is Stellenbosch University, one of the top-ranked higher education institutions in Africa. It\u2019s also South Africa\u2019s oldest university \u2013 and one steeped in history. This is where C\u00b2DH doctoral researcher Lauren Coetzee<\/a> completed her Master\u2019s degree in history, and where she began to develop a deep appreciation of how researchers build off each other\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Stellenbosch, Coetzee\u2019s focus was on the Anglo-Boer War, as she was interested in learning more about those who \u201cdidn\u2019t have such a loud voice in that narrative\u201d. She contributed to the \u201cBiography of an Uncharted People<\/a>\u201d project, led by economic historian Johan Fourie. Although her background was in history, the project used quantitative methods to help fill gaps in the \u201chistories of marginalised groups\u201d, transcribing sources like death and marriage certificates and voting records. \u201cWhen you quantify them, you start to see trends that are different from what you see with normal narrative projects,\u201d Coetzee adds. \u201cIt was so exciting. It touched on that sense of justice, trying to have those voices embedded and emphasised in my research.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nHeading to Luxembourg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

After her Master\u2019s, Coetzee did a pre-doc with the Time Traveller<\/a> project, of which she is now the research manager. The project uses open-source online resources together with digital history methods and traveller accounts to research various topics related to Africa\u2019s past. It was an easy transition to move from exclusively war-related South African history to a more broad focus on African history before 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written sources about Africa from pre-colonial periods are scarce. There was no directory of travellers to Africa, so the Time Traveller project built one, compiling approximately 3,500 documents in a bid to bridge some of the knowledge gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coetzee says the work is fascinating and rich in detail \u2013 the accounts are from travellers to Africa who describe their encounters and experiences within the continent, revealing more about the people and places they visited and including details about things such as pottery, artefacts and architecture. But she is all too aware that these sources are just one way of studying the past and that they need to be combined with archives, archaeological sites, oral histories, art and other primary sources to build a more comprehensive picture of people and their interactions. Additionally, personal bias are important factors to take into account when studying pre-colonial Africa. Incorporating digital humanities methods in the research process can help researchers identify any biases while still gaining an insight into life in Africa during the period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Keen to build on her work in digital history, Coetzee joined the C\u00b2DH in 2023 for a PhD focusing on trade in guns and gunpowder in pre-colonial Africa. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t complete a trade deal between Africans and Europeans without certain commodities being part of that trade, and guns were one of those,\u201d she says. Seeing the potential in such technology, some states became more powerful, controlled trade routes or made alliances.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though her research started with a focus on the impact of the spread of guns and gunpowder across societies in pre-colonial Africa, it has extended to commodity currencies used during this period. One such currency was beads, which came in different shapes, colours and sizes. Beads can be found in various regions across the African continent, and they have piqued her curiosity. \u201cThe monetary systems were so dynamic, so sophisticated, and made a lot more sense to the local economy than some of the European currencies later imposed on these societies,\u201d Coetzee reveals. By quantifying mentions of beads in sources, she hopes to be able to build a picture of price indices and exchange rates for baskets of goods and trade assets for this period. She also very much hopes that her work might inspire other researchers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nSettling in easily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Coetzee says that coming to the C\u00b2DH and Luxembourg more generally has been a fairly smooth experience. She describes the C\u00b2DH team as a social bunch, and there are plenty of networking events to foster a sense of community. \u201cWhen people get a new position or project, everyone cheers each other on,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s great to be part of a team that has high standards but isn\u2019t so competitive, to have the space to aim high and know you\u2019re being supported.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although she can\u2019t yet be certain whether she will remain in the country after her PhD, she is certainly not against the idea. She has made friends easily, including some fellow South Africans. \u201cLuxembourg is quite similar to home, in a sense, because South Africa is also very multicultural and international. It\u2019s almost like a lot of the good of South Africa is reflected in Luxembourg: people have strong work ethics and are passionate about what they\u2019re doing. We also have vineyards!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n
