Expeditions: on race and nation 59 January 1900 Frederick Lugard, the ‘father <strong>of</strong> Nigeria’, begins his governing <strong>of</strong> the new colony: ‘<strong>The</strong> vast majority <strong>of</strong> the inhabitants were not only completely unaware that they had been allocated to Britain, but were ignorant <strong>of</strong> its very existence.’ Expeditions looks at how colonial discourse builds an orature <strong>of</strong> identification between social subjects and narratives. Between myth parading as essence, and essence parading as national character, is the oratorial ‘We’ and ‘<strong>The</strong>y’ <strong>of</strong> nationhood’s discourse <strong>of</strong> colonial mastery: Thinking Black. In Thinking Block, the Portuguese can invest in distilling a specific rum, aptly called ‘Nigger Killer’, for export to Africa. In Thinking Black, a nineteenth-century ethnographer sits by the window <strong>of</strong> his Bloomsbury study. On his desk, photographs <strong>of</strong> two African women. He scribbles across one, ‘A typical mop head-dress’, across the other, ‘Mere barbarism disgusts—it is the unnatural union <strong>of</strong> savagery and civilization that is ugly and painful.’ In Thinking Black the illustrator/writer <strong>of</strong> ‘<strong>The</strong> ABC <strong>of</strong> Baby Patriots’ reaches the ninth letter:’ “I” is for India, Our land in the East, where everyone goes to shoot tigers and feast.’ Reaching letter 23, a baby patriot reads:’ “W” is the word <strong>of</strong> an Englishman true: when given, it means what he says he’ll do.’ <strong>The</strong> father <strong>of</strong> Nigeria continues with flat surety: ‘<strong>The</strong>y cannot know who they are, or what they are.’
