African Journal of International Criminal Justice
Search articles of African Journal of International Criminal Justice
Africa has been the site of some of the world's worst atrocities. Africa is also home to some of the most innovative mechanisms, ranging from truth commissions to national and international criminal trials, to address accountability to the perpetrators of violence. Yet, African voices are often marginalized in global conversations about peace, justice and reconciliation. The AJICJ is a refereed and interdisciplinary scholarly periodical that aims to fill this gap. It is a forum for international criminal law and transitional justice issues in Africa and the developing world as analysed by authors drawn from throughout the continent and the world.
The Journal aims to create the intellectual space for profound scholarly reflection on the phenomenon of atrocity crimes in Africa and national, sub-regional, regional as well as international efforts to combat such crimes through prosecutions, traditional justice approaches or alternative mechanisms such as truth seeking and reconciliation. We hope to stimulate an Intra-South and Global dialogue on the complexities facing societies seeking to transit from war and other collective traumas to peace. With these goals in mind, AJICJ will seek to give voice to a diversity of perspectives on fundamental, long-term and systemic problems concerning justice and accountability, as well as emerging issues, and possible solutions to them.
We are particularly interested in views from below and new streams of scholarship that engage in critical reflections from law and the social sciences based on empirical observations and experience as well theoretical and cross disciplinary methodologies. The Journal is intended for anyone interested in issues of international criminal law and questions of transitional justice. These include academics, government and international tribunal officials, practitioners such as judges, attorneys, legal assistants, students, activists as well as any individuals and NGOs concerned with how best to understand the place of law and other transitional measures in war and mass violence.
In addition to scholarly articles and reports from the field, AJICJ will contain a section for book reviews, case reports on significant national and international decisions from African and other international courts and tribunals, as well as special sections on African state practice and shorter comments on current events and compilations of hard to obtain documents. The Journal will seek to encourage creativity and innovation by awarding several prizes for the best articles published in each volume: one to a doctoral student, the second for an author under 40, and another for a scholar, of any age, who has spent at least 5 years in academia in an African university.
Prof. Charles C. Jalloh (Founding editor), Margaret DeGuzman, Lansana Gberie, Lucy Hovil, Laurence Juma, Simon Meisenberg, Godfrey Musila, Lydia A. Nkansah, Sarah Nouwen, Chidi Odinkalu, Benson Olugbuo, Harry Rhea, Shakiratu Sanusi, Alpha Sesay, and Yitiha Simbeye

These Myth Abc poems are examples of Abc poems about Myth. These are the best examples of Abc Myth poems written by international poets.
Spit on my face then walk away.
Once, just once i descried.
Her hand brushing her each hairstrand singly.
Luck, what is Luck anyway?
Is it a thing or a myth?
How to get it? Grab it ?
Why can't it stay forever?
In a land full of wild, hairy and ugly monsters.


In high school, I built sets for the theater. This was an opportunity to test those ideas about imaginative worlds in physical space. It was my chance to take a simple black box and completely redefine it over and over again with a few simple moves, each time creating a new physical container for a theatrical story using space as my medium.
At Texas Tech University, I dove even deeper into this interest in space, learning about what it means for architecture to exist in harmony with the natural world that contains and surrounds it. Graduate school at Rice University taught me about the realities of designing within a context: physical, cultural, as well as theoretical. At Morphosis Architects in Los Angeles, I experimented with architecture as an idea and explored the power of its representation.
Since joining Olson Kundig as a staff architect in 2015, I have continued to push my visual storytelling language. For me, Olson Kundig is a place where moving parts are used to redefine spaces within a building on a daily basis. Two-dimensional compositions describe complex ideas about context, values, and responsibility, while narratives in the form of films and graphic novels give new meaning to existing buildings.
Through all of this, I have found one thing to be certain. The built world is only one expression of an idea. The narrative language and graphic representation that accompany a building, both before and after construction, continue to define and redefine it.

That's right! The film adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's eerie eco-horror novel, Annihilation, will hit theaters next February. The movie is Alex Garland's follow-up film to Ex Machina, and stars Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Gina Rodriguez as a Biologist, Surveyor, Psychologist, and Anthropologist respectively, who venture into a top secret site for an expedition that does not go according to plan. Ex Machina vet Oscar Isaac will also appear in the film in a small role as the Biologist's husband.
Garland adapted the script from VanderMeer's novel, which is the first book in the acclaimed Southern Reach Trilogy. The trilogy follows the exploration of Area X, a mysterious terrain that has been isolated from the rest of civilization since an inexplicable cataclysm several decades earlier. While the first expedition returned with tales of a beautiful landscape, each subsequent foray into the zone has resulted in murder and tragedy. Now, years later, Annnihilation follows the twelfth expedition. The group consists of four women, with the Psychologist as the stated leader. The group is supposed to return with maps and a collection of specimens, and they are supposed to record each other continuously. Most important though: they must not allow Area X to contaminate them.

Sammy Hagar Remembers The Day They Have Played In Front Of 70,000 People
Former Van Halen vocalist and the current member of The Circle, Sammy Hagar, recently posted a photo on his Instagram account and recalled the day in which Van Halen had gotten a great gig and was going to perform in front of thousands of people.
As you know, Sammy Hagar enjoys using his social media accounts to announce his latest projects, share his views on rock music and musicians, and of course, post sneak peeks from his life as a rockstar and entrepreneur. He had recently opened up about his final phone call with Eddie Van Halen and it seems like this got him thinking about his days with Van Halen
Sammy Hagar was one of the few lucky rockstars who got to perform live for his devoted fans on New Year's Eve. However, now that he got a taste of it, it seems like he's not ready to let go of the stage and the thrill of performing live. Looking at old photos, Sammy Hagar remembered the days in which he could do live shows with Van Halen in front of thousands of people.
Back in 1988, Van Halen was touring in promotion of '5150' which was the band's first album with Sammy Hagar who had replaced David Lee Roth. The tour was a huge success and was very memorable for both the band's members and their fans. In his recent Instagram post, Sammy Hagar recalled a concert they gave during that tour in which they had a stadium full of 70,000 listeners.
Here's what Sammy Hagar said in the caption of his recent Instagram post:
"Oh man, those were the days. About to walk out to a stadium full of 70,000 ready to rock fans. #happy #vanhalen #1988 #WeNeedLiveMusicNow"
It seems apparent that Sammy Hagar can't wait to be back on stage and what a better way to reminisce the COVID-19 free live music days than to look at photos from his time with the legendary Van Halen.

School Direct programmes contain a core Professional Studies element and a series of Subject Studies sessions designed for your chosen specialism. Some of these take place at the placement school and some at the University of Warwick.
Primary routes focus on the study of teaching in all National Curriculum subjects, with emphasis on English, Maths, Science and ICT. The Primary Foundation Stage/Key Stage 1 course (3-7) includes a specialist study of the early years foundation stage curriculum and the distinctive pedagogies encountered in reception/nursery classrooms and children's centres. School placements will provide opportunities to teach in both key stages. You will learn the principles of curriculum design and delivery, and theories of learning and teaching, alongside developing practical insights and skills in the effective teaching and assessment of young children.
Trainees will have experience in at least two primary schools and have the opportunity to immerse themselves in school life, participating in extra-curricular activities, parent meetings, and cross-curricular events. Trainees, also get the chance to spend some time working with children with special educational needs.
All programmes lead to QTS and PGCE status, including the award of 60 CATS credits towards Masters accreditation, upon meeting the assessment criteria, specified by the University of Warwick.
If shortlisted for selection, applicants will be invited to an interview day, where they will be involved in a range of activities, including teaching a short lesson to students, undertaking a literacy exercise, and undergoing a panel interview. All applicants offered a place will subsequently be required to produce a clear enhanced disclosure certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service, pass the 'fitness to teach' requirements laid down by the Department for Education, and pass the Professional Skills Tests in literacy and numeracy, before taking up their place on the course.
Successful School Direct candidates will complete their Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE11-18) with the University of Warwick, allowing them to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) as well as gaining 90 CATs points towards their Masters. Practical, school-based training will take place at the lead school. The School Direct programme will involve candidates being supported in and engaged with the schools from the beginning of September 2019, developing relevant professional skills and learning from the wealth of experience that exists both within the schools and the university. High quality support will be available at all times from the schools and the university to help candidates on their journey towards becoming outstanding classroom practitioners.

The #DontBeTardy mom just introduced her latest bundle of joy.
It was a big weekend in the Zolciak-Biermann household. The Don't Be Tardy family officially welcomed a new family member to the mix: a little black lab named Norma Jean.
Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann posted about the puppy on Instagram, joining the many Bravolebs who have spoken out about pet adoption. And while she's only been Kim's dog for a short period of time, Norma Jean has already learned the art of giving good selfie face. "We just had to rescue her," Kim wrote. "I'm totally in love. Sinatra will have a new BFF #AdoptDontShop #HumaneSociety #Lab."
Little Norma Jean is quickly winning over the Zolciak-Biermann family one member at a time. For instance, here's Ariana snuggling with the pooch.
The family chef and former Top Chef cheftestant Tracey Bloom is also on Team Norma Jean.
Check out more photos of the family, below.

Beware these high-powered offenses still alive in the 2019 women's volleyball tournament
What you might've missed in the NCAA DI volleyball tournament and what's yet to come
The regionals are this Friday and Saturday, Dec. 13-14, and feature the strongest teams and players in the country going head to head.
The beginning of the tournament has seen some unbelievable plays, including crazy kills, digs, and rallies. But, we decided to take a look at the most powerful offenses remaining in the tournament. Here they are, in no particular order,
Second-seeded Texas has one of the most efficient offenses in the nation. The Longhorns lead the country in hitting percentage with a .325 team average. Their five starting players are all hitting above .300. That is extremely impressive.
Logan Eggleston, who was the player of the game in Texas' five-set win over UCSB, has a .313 hitting percentage, Brionne Butler has a stunning .441 hitting percentage, Asjia O'Neal owns a .350 hitting percentage, freshman standout Skylar Fields has a .338 percentage, and lastly, their kills leader, Micaya White has a .306 hitting percentage. White may have the lowest of the bunch, but she is also averaging four kills per set and has the most attempts on the team. So her .306 hitting percentage is great.
Next up: Louisville vs. Texas at 4 p.m. ET Friday, Dec. 13.
Can we talk about the combination of Dana Rettke, Molly Haggerty and Grace Loberg? A lot of teams have one player that substantially tallies more kills than the others. The Badgers do not. Rettke has led in kills the entire season, but Haggerty is behind by six kills, and Loberg trails by less than less than 40. Anytime you have a middle blocker that is out-scoring your pin-hitters, (really good pin-hitters, I might add) the offense is probably pretty versatile. Wisconsin is eighth in the country in kills per set, fourth in the country as a team in hitting percentage, with a .295 percent, and fourth in assists per set.
Next up: Texas A&M vs. Wisconsin at 2 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 13.
Kathryn Plummer.
Can I end the paragraph right there?
Stanford is third in the entire country in kills per set, fifth in the country in hitting percentage, and third in assists per set. Plus, they played one of the toughest schedules this season. So they were putting up crazy offensive numbers, against crazy good teams.
And to reiterate, they have Plummer, the two-time AVCA National Player of the Year, who was out with an injury this season for 10 games and still leads the team in kills, and averages 4.83 kills per set on .308 hitting efficiency. If you're able to slow down Plummer, there is still Audriana Fitzmorris on the other side, Madeleine Gates, and freshman standout Kendall Kipp. Not to mention first-team All-American setter Jenna Gray. This is a powerful offense, and a group that has a lot of experience in the postseason.
Next up: Utah vs. Stanford at 11 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 13.
We have got to include the No. 1 seed Baylor, who has offensive powerhouse Yossiana Pressley. Baylor is seventh in the country in kills per set with 14.57, and Pressley is second in the country in kills per set with 5.42. They also rank in the top 10 for hitting percentage as a team and assists per set as well. When Pressley gets help from her teammates, they are even more successful offensively.
Next up: Purdue vs. Baylor at noon ET on Friday, Dec. 13.
The Bearcats earned their spot amongst the top sixteen team with the huge upset over No. 6 seed Pittsburgh. So although they may not have been ranked amongst the top teams all season, they deserve to be here now. The Bearcats offense is leading the entire country in kills per set, and assists per set, and they are sixth in hitting percentage. They didn't face the as strong of a schedule as the other teams on this list, but they proved they can beat strong teams and earned their spot.
The Bearcats also have the nation's leader in kills per set, Jordan Thompson. Thompson averages 6.4 kills per set and leads the country with 768 total kills. She also does that on a .343 hitting percentage.
This past summer, Jordan Thompson was breaking records for @USAVolleyball. Back for her senior season, Thompson has leveraged her experience with the #USAVwnt to take @GoBearcatsVB to unprecedented heights.#NCAAVB pic.twitter.com/3s117oW4Kr
— NCAA Volleyball (@NCAAVolleyball) December 12, 2019
Next up: Cincinnati vs. Penn State at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 13.
Kentucky volleyball deserves a mention as one of the top offenses remaining too. They rank ninth in kills per set as a team in the country and 15th in hitting percentage. The Wildcats have the duel threat of Leah Edmond and Alli Stumler offensively. Edmond tallies 4.43 kills per set on .309 hitting, and this offense has hit above .300 percent since the start of the tournament.
Next up: Kentucky vs. Washington at 2:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 13.

I am an online seller and I thought I would make a little video in which I show the top selling products so far in 2016. These are the products that are consistently selling, I have only ever had positive feedback for them, have good margins and you can find all of these products on Aliexpress and if you want to place a bigger order you can head over to alibaba.com to find a manufacturer. The great thing about Aliexpress is that there is no MOQ(minimum order quantity) which makes it a great place to start. You can also pay with your credit card which makes it a very very simple process. Aliexpress is very similar to eBay.com but is based in china. As I said before I have been purchasing products on Aliexpress for a few years I have done over 1500 orders and have not had too many problems. Some sellers don't provide the best customer service however you can open a dispute with them through Aliexpress if there is a problem with your order such as you receive the item and it is not as described or it is damaged, you don't receive your item etc . Below is a video which I made which show the best selling products also the link can be found in the description which show the most reliable sellers for these products and also the best deals!


I am having a budget of about Rs 8000/- and now looking for a nice handset. It may be symbian or android.

Andoid is deffinetly faster. I would look as newest version as possible OS.
android is so much better. try looking at ebay. there are cheap prices there.
Android all the way. Super fast phones. Just choose any device from your favorite manufacturer.

Putting Down Roots in Chatham Park
September 13, 2017/Chatham Magazine/Eat & Drink, Home & Garden, Out & About
Q&A with The Root Cellar's Sera Cuni and Susan White
By Laura Zolman Kirk | Photography by Briana Brough
The Root Cellar's Sera Cuni and Susan White have strong ties to the county. Sera has lived here since 2003 when she purchased a home in historic downtown Pittsboro. Susan was born in the old Chatham Hospital and graduated from Jordan-Matthews High School before leaving for college in 1986. In 2009, the now-married couple moved into a home in the Powell Place community together. They own The Root Cellar in Chapel Hill and are opening a second branch of their beloved farm-to-table restaurant in Chatham Park. We chatted with the couple about their ties to the county, what it means to plant business roots here and how they envision Chatham's future.
What drew you to Chatham County?
Susan In many ways, family drew both of us to Chatham County.
Sera I initially moved to North Carolina in 2001, after spending most of my culinary career in Connecticut. I was born in Trumbull, and grew up loving Connecticut's cold winters, but after a particular snowy season in 2000, I just grew tired of it all and finally decided to move closer to my parents, who were living in Apex at the time. My brother, Seth, also eventually moved to the area, bringing all of my immediate family to the Triangle. Shortly after moving to the state, I was hired at Fearrington Village, first at the former market, now known as The Granary, and later at The Fearrington House Restaurant as a sous-chef. I knew pretty early that I wanted to open my own restaurant one day and after buying a house and moving to Pittsboro, that desire only intensified.
Susan In addition to attending Chatham County's public schools, my ties to the community extend to the business sector. My late father Henry L. White, Jr. worked for years as a salesman at Jones Department Store in downtown Siler City, while my mother Shirley, retired in 2000 as an assistant register of deeds with the county. After leaving Siler City and graduating from Campbell University with a degree in mass communication, I spent most of my career as a journalist, working for newspapers in Harnett County, Greenville, Winston-Salem and in Norfolk-Virginia Beach. In 2008, I was hired as a marketing writer and academic editor at the School of Social Work at UNC Chapel Hill, where I still work today. I pursued the position because I was eager for new challenges outside of journalism and because I wanted to be closer to my mother, who still lives in the same house where I grew up.
What prompted the decision to open a second location of The Root Cellar in Chatham Park?
Sera In January 2013, shortly after Susan and I purchased Foster's Market Chapel Hill [former name of The Root Cellar], we started talking about the idea of bringing a second location to Pittsboro. After we married in late 2014, we really started to ramp up those plans.
Ultimately, we loved the idea of living and working in our own community and being able to contribute to our economy, financially and socially. We are committed to supporting local farmers as much as we possibly can, and a lot of the food we serve is grown right here in our state and in the Triangle. We also work hard to give back to our community by offering higher-paying wages and benefits and by financially supporting causes that we believe in.
Susan I think it's also important to note that over the years, our business has evolved into more than just a restaurant. It's a place to build community – a comfortable gathering spot where friends and family can catch up over a great meal as well as celebrate birthdays, retirements, new motherhood, marriages and other life events.
How close are y'all to opening?
We're aiming for an early-November opening – so soon!
What are your thoughts on Chatham Park? It's a big change for the county. Is it a welcome one for you?
Sera It is a big change, and we know folks have various opinions about it, and we respect that. For us, Chatham Park offers a chance to grow our business and gives us the opportunity to contribute even more to a community that we love.
Susan Having grown up in Siler City, I watched over the years as so many businesses shuttered. The economic effects are still felt today. Although the town is slowly starting to rebuild, for many, there still aren't enough opportunities to attract new residents or enough reasons to keep younger people living there. Pittsboro hasn't faced the same struggles, but I think the town and Chatham County are at a crossroads, especially with so many communities growing around us. I want more independently owned businesses like ours to have greater opportunities to thrive here in our own backyard.
What are you most excited about in bringing The Root Cellar to Chatham?
Susan I'm excited about deepening our roots, so to speak. But I'm also lucky to be married to someone who has such a passion for food, who really cares about where that food comes from, and who loves to share that passion with others. I think Chatham is in for a real treat and just hope as we work to support the community that the community will also support us.
Sera I'm excited that we're finally making this dream of ours a reality. For so long, it didn't seem like it was going to happen. We love Pittsboro, we've built our home here, and we think The Root Cellar will be a great fit for our community.

One More Reason Your Brand Should Be a Maker.
By Kurt Roberts on December 30, 2015.
Making brings your team together.
Learning something new forges new connections within your team. (Just think about your friendships that have lasted since school.) The maker movement stresses that making is learning: You learn the most by doing, and you should try new things whenever you can to expand your knowledge.
Since virtual reality is a new and emerging field, there were lots of things to figure out as we made RPTree, from what kinds of stories can best be told through VR to how to introduce people to a technology they might not have seen yet. We were also in largely uncharted territory technically, as most VR experiences use expensive dedicated hardware—even less expensive Google Cardboard experiences use native apps—and we had set out with the goal of using the browser to deliver the experience more efficiently.
It took everyone working together to overcome these hurdles. No one could have foreseen every detail of the final product from the beginning; it took trust and teamwork to create something that was effective and engaging. RPTree has always been more than just another Christmas card. Now in its 4th year, we've always used it to test ideas, learn new technologies, and bring out each individual team member's strengths to make a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
We're looking forward to building more things together in 2016. Happy New Year!
Love the game although I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone 6, it did work on my desktop. My son will love taking a peek at the code as well.

Rubber Baron
– Paul Maliszewski
Finding Henry Ford's lost city in Brazil.
In July 1925, Harvey Firestone, the founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, traveled to Dearborn, Michigan, to have lunch with his friend Henry Ford. Firestone wanted the automaker to ally with him against the European rubber monopoly. Winston Churchill, then secretary of state for Great Britain's colonies, had established a cartel to control production and sustain a higher price. Rubber was running $1.21 per pound in the United States, up from 20 cents three years before. But Ford, then in his early sixties and independent to the point of being isolated, saw no benefit in a partnership with Firestone. After their meal, he instructed his personal secretary, "Find out where is the best place to grow rubber."
Ford's decision launched his company on a 20-year, $20 million misadventure. While Firestone started a successful plantation in Liberia, Ford acted on his secretary's advice and turned his attention to the jungles surrounding the lower Amazon. Until the late 19th century, Brazil had held a monopoly on rubber production. That was when Henry Wickham, a British citizen, stole 70,000 rubber-plant seeds from Brazil and handed them over to the Royal Botanic Gardens, where scientists nurtured seedlings that became the basis for a burgeoning rubber market in the British colonies of Southeast Asia. Wickham, who perhaps exaggerated the derring-do required to smuggle the seeds, nonetheless earned a knighthood and doomed the rubber trade in South America.
Ford wanted to accomplish more in the Amazon than just establish an affordable source of rubber. He was driven to carve his plantation out of the jungle by two beliefs: that the traditional American way of life could and should be exported to less developed countries, and that this same way of life was coming undone at home. He was, at once, a utopian dreamer and an embittered critic. His ill-advised foray in Brazil is detailed in Greg Grandin's Fordlandia, an engaging and passionately written history that takes its title from the name Brazilians called Ford's first settlement. Grandin is alert to the tragedy and the unexpected moments of comedy in the story, which is at times reminiscent of both Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1902) and Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). Though Grandin, a professor of Latin American history at New York University, occasionally muddles his tale with repetition and confusing chronology, he appears to have read every relevant document in the archives at the Benson Ford Research Center, the repository for Henry Ford's papers and his company's corporate records.
Fordlandia grew from the discarded blueprints of Ford's 1922 plan to build on the banks of the Tennessee River a city as narrow as Manhattan but 75 miles long. Residents of the proposed city in northwestern Alabama would never be far from hills and farmland. Ford would offer low-interest mortgages, pay high wages, build schools, and construct a shop-lined road running from one end to the other. A magazine called it an "All Main Street" city. Ford just needed a land concession and the federal government's approval. Since the recession of 1920, which would prove to be a harbinger of the Great Depression, Ford had devoted some of his time and wealth to a "village industry" program, an attempt to generate year-round employment in rural communities and, as Grandin writes, "reconcile farm and factory work." The irony of Ford's industrial pastoralism is that the automobile played a not inconsiderable role in fracturing those communities to which Ford felt an increasingly sentimental attachment. Congressional deadlock shattered his dream. George W. Norris, a Republican senator from Nebraska and a committed progressive, argued that Ford's proposal should be undertaken not by private interests but by the government. Republicans were different animals then.
Henry Ford wanted to export to the Amazon a traditional American way of life that he believed was coming undone at home.
In the Amazon, Ford need brook no interference from the U.S. government. In 1927, the magnate sent a University of Michigan botanist to Brazil, where he selected a parcel of land bordering the Tapajós River that he thought ideal. It was 80 miles to the nearest city and six days by boat to the Amazon's mouth. With only vague instructions from headquarters, Grandin writes, two other advance men—a lawyer and a middle manager—asked Brazilian officials for everything: "the right to exploit the land's lumber and mineral reserves, the right to build railroads and airfields, to erect any kind of building without government supervision, establish banks, organize a private police force, run schools, draw power from waterfalls, and 'dam up the river in any way we needed to.'" And they secured an exemption from export taxes on rubber, latex, and anything else the plantation shipped abroad. The state government offered 2.5 million acres, a million less than requested. "That acreage," a Harper's reporter wrote, "was about five-sixths the size of Connecticut, but when compared to the colossal Amazon basin it was a mere garden patch." Ford agreed to plant rubber on a thousand acres of his garden within the year and pay $125,000 for half of the land, as it was privately held. The other half, public land, he received gratis.
Ford's vision for his outpost was grand: a town complete with schools and Cape Cod–style houses as well as high wages and health care for all, both the American managers and the Brazilians attracted by word that the company was hiring people by the thousands. Ford would encourage workers to grow flowers and vegetables and eat only whole-wheat bread and unpolished rice. He would bring electricity to the jungle, and with it, telephones, washing machines, record players, and refrigerators. Some of his goals seemed quaint, such as staging poetry recitations and promoting ballroom dancing, with square dances on weekends. Others were downright peculiar, such as his intention to have nurseries feed soymilk to babies because, after growing up on a farm, he despised cows. Ford wanted to create American towns, Grandin writes, that just happened to be in the Amazon, with "central squares, sidewalks, indoor plumbing, hospitals, manicured lawns, movie theaters, swimming pools, golf courses, and, of course, Model Ts and As rolling down their paved streets."
Expectations, fueled by company press releases, ran high. The Christian Science Monitor reported Ford would plant five million acres. The Washington Post had Ford's plantation ("Bigger Than New Jersey" read the headline) yielding enough rubber to make tires for two million cars every year. The New York Times predicted Ford's land would one day produce six billion pounds of rubber a year, an extraordinary feat of hypothetical productivity.
Problems arose immediately. The first ships, carrying much needed supplies, arrived in September 1928, during the dry season, when the river is low, and so couldn't reach the settlement for several months. Workers started clearing the jungle during the wet season, when felled trees won't burn. Soil erosion and leaf blight dogged the rubber plantings, and rifts among the workers bedeviled the operation. Ford's principal manager felt he was inadequately compensated, and so siphoned cash from the plantation's coffers. Later, when waiters in the dining hall were replaced with cafeteria-style service, Brazilian skilled craftsmen protested. They didn't want to queue up for food with common laborers. A riot ensued, leaving Fordlandia in ruins. Many expected Ford to close the plantation, but he decided to rebuild, increasing his investment in the model city.
The central problem, though, was a culture of obstinacy fed by a track record of success. Ford, the company and the man, always knew best, even though Ford himself never once visited Brazil. Thatched roofs, the thinking went, indicated that civilization had yet to deliver its infinite blessings, and so Ford built homes with metal roofs lined with asbestos. Intended to reflect the heat, the houses retained it, like Cape Cod–style ovens. A priest there described them as "hotter than the gates of hell." Company managers, he added, "never really figured out what country they were in."
Four years into the arduous work at Fordlandia, only an accountant thought to ask if it was "fair to assume that seeds which grew up in a forest will do as well when planted in a totally denuded area under a hot tropical sun." Soon after, the plantation manager wrote Dearborn, "We are entering a gigantic proposition. . . . It would be well to have the opinion of the highest expert on rubber planting." The expert wasn't optimistic. After attempting to address the many problems, he recommended abandoning the settlement and transferring operations downriver, where the ground was flatter and the soil richer. With six years and $7 million invested, the company all but shuttered Fordlandia, shifting its interests to Belterra, the proposed site. In Portuguese the name means "beautiful land," but blight followed, as did swarms of caterpillars. In 1942, Belterra yielded just 750 tons of latex. "It wasn't high-quality rubber," Grandin writes, nor would it offset Ford's yearly need for 25,000 tons.
In 1945, shortly after being named company president, Henry Ford II turned the plantations over to the Brazilian government. Estimates placed their value at $8 million, considerably less than the company had invested. Ford parted with the land for $244,200, enough to cover the severance pay owed remaining workers. While his grandfather's vision never became real, the towns did look as Ford had imagined them, golf courses and all. But they were not towns for the people who lived there.
Grandin cautions against seeing Fordlandia as a parable about the folly of arrogance. Ford's dream, he says, was fueled not by hubris but by a utopian urge. The arrogance, Grandin writes, "is not that Henry Ford thought he could tame the Amazon but that he believed that the forces of capitalism, once released, could still be contained." In the jungle, far from government, industry could thrive, and "solve whatever social problems arose from progress's advance." Looked at another way, Fordlandia illustrates the determination of business to seek its own profit, unfettered and unbothered—until profits prove elusive. What's more, Ford's principles were situational, if not ad hoc. He was staunchly in favor of privatized gains but wouldn't refuse socialized risks. In this year of massive bailouts for banks and automotive manufacturers, the contradictions at the heart of Fordlandia are laid bare again.
