Extractions: This course surveys contemporary forms of political conflict and protest in Africa. The objective is to use political conflict as a lens through which to discuss and understand current social and political realities on the African continent. A limited number of sites of political conflict will be examined in detail. This term these sites will include Kenya, Southern Africa, Nigeria, and the Guinea Coast (Sierra Leone and Liberia). We will examine the nature, causes, and consequences of these conflicts. These case studies will be used to discuss topics which are broader than but closely related to political conflict. These topics will include, but will not be limited to: ideologies of political opposition, ethnicity and nationalism, child soldiers, famine and refugees, and everyday forms of resistance to state power.

Extractions: A 16 page paper discussing the problems of maternal mortality and maternal health, which have reached critical mass in Ethiopia and remains problematic in other regions of the world as well. It is most common in those areas of intense poverty as evidenced by the areas of the world in which maternal mortality ratios are highest, but it also affects the profession in those areas of the world in which it is of far less consequence. The problem as it exists in the US and other developed nations is nearly negligible when considered in light of its magnitude in developing countries, particularly the poorest of those countries. The purpose here is to assess the problem of maternal mortality in Ethiopia and how it and the local health care profession can affect each other. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Tell a Friend ngugi wa thiongo's novel, Matigari by Frank Bures At last,Matigari's war with Settler Williams was over and he was going home.
http://www.tinhouse.com/Back_Issues/Issue_11/Matigari.html

Extractions: At last, Matigari's war with Settler Williams was over and he was going home. It was 1986, and the hero of Ngugi wa Thiongo's novel, Matigari , was not only emerging from his hiding place in the woods, but from the page on which he existed. After the book's publication, the real Kenyan police hunted the man people were whispering about, this Matigari who was roaming the country, escaping from prisons and mental hospitals, asking everyone where he could find truth and justice. Matigari taunted and challenged the paranoid regime of Daniel arap Moi, and the president wanted him stopped. When the police figured out that Matigari lived only in Ngugi's novel, they seized all known copies of the book and condemned Matigari to a different kind of prison. Fortunately, the writer, who had already spent a year in a Kenyan jail, was far away and escaped imprisonment. Ngugi's novel resonated so deeply with average Kenyans partly because he wrote in his native Kikuyu, a switch he had made during 1978, in prison, when he started writing his first Kikuyu novel, Devil on the Cross , on toilet paper.

http://www.1to1essays.com/categories/007-017.html

Extractions: 5 pages in length. La Vie Est Belle (Life Is Rosy) by Ngangura Mweze is a wonderfully funny story about love, social acceptance and the trouble people will go to achieve both in their lives. Director Mweze took a story line completely different from the typical African cinematic representation and offered the public a more carefree approach to life than is so common of African films. Indeed, Mweze has a reputation of reaching out and inviting his audience to experience with him the sometimes intense and often comical sense of being that is clearly portrayed within his cinematic work, with La Vie Est Belle serving as a fine example. No bibliography.
Subversion Versus Rejection: Can Postcolonial Writers Subvert The Codified Using

http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/poldiscourse/brandon1.html

Extractions: Frantz Fanon describes the dialectic of language between the colonized and the colonizer bleakly. According to him, "the colonized is raised above jungle status [in the eyes of the colonizer] in proportion to his adoption of the mother country's cultural standards." Fanon, who rejects the codified colonizer-colonized relationship, advocates total rejection of the standards of the colonizing culture including its language. Fanon believs that "a man who has a language consequently possesses the world expressed and implied by that language" (qtd. in Rusell, postcolonial Web). Fanon reasons that he who has taken up the language of the colonizer has accepted the world of the colonizer and therefore the standards of the colonizer. Following Fanon, Ngugi Wa Thiongo also proposes a program of radical decolonization in his collection of essays Decolonising the Mind , which points out specific ways that the language of African literature manifests the dominance of the empire. He builds an powerful argument for African writers to write in traditional languages of Africa rather than in the European languages. Writing in the language of the colonizer, he claims, means that many of one's own people meaning those people with whom a postcolonial writer identifies by nativity are not able to read one's original work. About African literature written in European language Ngugi writes, "its greatest weakness still lay where it has always been, in the audience the petty-bourgeoisie readership automatically assumed by the very choice of language" (22). According to him, literature written in a European language cannot claim to be African literature, and therefore he classifies the works by Soyinka, Achebe, and Okara as Afro-European literature.

Extractions: This 6 page report discusses Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman by Marjorie Shostak (1981). The story of Nisa herself reveals a world that still exists but that most Westerners have only experienced through National Geographic documentaries. During nearly two years Shostak spent interviewing !Kung women in the Dobe area of northwestern Botswana, in the northern Kalahari Desert, she did make connections, especially with 50-year-old Nisa.

http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/hhanson/food_famine.html

Extractions: In this seminar, we explore the processes of historical change that have led to famines and "food crisis" in modern Africa. By the end of the course, students will be able to engage in convincing, well-evidenced conversation about the causes of past (and future) famines in Africa. Course Requirements and Procedures Evaluation in this seminar will be based entirely on your written preparation for each class and your contribution to a productive discussion that engages fully with assigned readings. A written response to each reading assignment is due by 10:00 am on the day for which the reading is assigned: it may be emailed to the professor or placed in her mailbox in the History Department. Where the syllabus poses discussion questions, your response to the reading should state your answer to the questions and the evidence from the reading you will use to support it, list points you intend to raise in the discussion, and note questions you wish to clarify in class. A reading response in outline form will be about a page long; a prose reading response should be no longer than three pages. No late reading responses will be accepted. On February 18 and April 1, papers are required instead of reading responses. These two papers, and your preparation for the in-class oral final, will each count for 12% of the grade. Each other class after the first one will count as approximately 6% of the final grade.

Acclaimed African Writer ngugi wa thiongo spoke at the first event of the newlyfounded Drew University African Student Association (DASA) on May 3, 2002.
http://www.groups.drew.edu/gsa/News&Notes12-4.html

Extractions: Front row in the middle: Professor Ngugi Wa Thiongo Photo: Ptyberyous Wangila May 3, 2002 was one of the few days at Drew University where scholars and students found a forum to discuss issues that affect Africa. Drew University was honored by a visit and a lecture from one of the most accomplished African scholars Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o. Drew University African Students Association (DASA) invited Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, courtesy of moral and financial support from students' activities office, Graduate Students Association (GSA) and other departments in the University. Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o spoke on the "Role of Literature in Development and Social Justice: A Focus on the African Situation". Ngugi Wa Thiong'o is a renowned scholar to Africans and other scholars not only because of his works that have gained international recognition but also because he espouses African values, culture and social justice. During his presentation at Drew University he referred to the African imagery - the story of a lion, a man and a hut - not only to set a peculiar African environment of story telling but also to describe the situation of Africa. According to the story, the lion pleaded with the man to allow it into the hut for shelter but before the man realized it, he was out of the hut. He now has to look for ways of letting the lion out so he can occupy his own hut. The imagery refers to Africa before independence, during independence and the struggle of African states to do away with neocolonialism. This powerful imagery left most of his listeners wondering about the predicaments of the African continent. Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's speech drew interest not only from those who are interested in issues that affect Africa, but also from those interested in understanding international and global community issues.
