Tell me when this page is updated University Programs Antioch College: Cultural and Interdisciplinary Majors: African/African-American Studies Antioch's program focuses on the full range of experiences of people of African descent. It entails a rigorous attempt to outline the parameters of those experiences, first by investigating the foundations of African ways of knowing and the social construction of knowledge in the African context. They offer a decent selection of courses such as Introduction to Drum and Dance of West Africa and the Caribbean and African Philosophy . Most of their classes focus on African American culture. Boston College: History Department While this college supposedly has an Africa/African Diaspora field, it is virtually non-existent. It is extremely difficult to find any classes on Africa. A big disappointment. Brown University: Africana Studies Program Much of this program's course deals with African-American history as well as Caribbean History. There is still, however, much offered in African history and culture. This program focuses on theoretical, historical, and artistic exploration of the culture, philosophy, and literature of Africa and the African Diaspora, embracing North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean and their historic and present linkages to continental Africa.

The International Dalit Solidarity Network "Working globally against discrimination by work and descent" Discrimination based on descent in Africa 1. Introduction This paper is based upon research of existing materials of an ethnological and anthropological nature, as well as items from the media, papers written by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), websites and submissions to local, national and international commissions. I have restricted the material to cover those forms of discrimination which exist in Africa which rely entirely on the application of the descent limb of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). Without this aspect of the ICERD, the cases discussed below have no recourse to international human rights mechanisms to tackle the discrimination they suffer. The first types of descent based discrimination I deal with are the caste systems that exist in areas of the Sahel , particularly West Africa , but also Somalia and the surrounding areas. These are systems of exclusion based on “occupational specialization of endogamous groups, in which membership is based on ascription, and between which social distance is regulated by the concept of pollution” . This definition can be applied to many of the casted peoples, usually occupational specialists in blacksmithing, potting, barding, leatherworking, weaving and other craft professions, who form a small proportion of some communities across the

An On-Site Study of GUINEA and CONAKRY its Capital Back to Africa Missions Research and Strategy Page Africa Missions Main Page August 1995 Research Team: Eric Guild James Scudder Richard Chowning Purpose : study to the city of Conakry in order to evaluate its potential and need for church growth. Objectives: 1. Get a general understanding of the social make up of the city. 2. Interview all mission agencies and denominations to understand what they have done and how they view the Christian movement in Conakry and Guinea as a whole. 3. Test for receptivity. 4. Collect contact information. 5. Understand the present and historical church growth situation. 6. Ascertain logistical and living condition variables. 7. Make recommendation. 8. Get an overview of Guinea. An overview of Guinea Introduction Guinea is one of the most unreached countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The high percentage of Muslims and the persecution by a former regime made it a difficult field for church growth from 1960s through the 1980s. "Guinea understandably still has some of the worst church/mission statistics in West Africa" (Vanderaa, 1991). Guinea has not been a priority country for most missions, but a reevaluation is in order. There was a time in when the current President, Conte, wanted Guinea to be Muslim country. He is now very cooperative with Christians. His second wife is a Christian. Population Weather As much as one hundred and twenty inches of rain can fall in Conakry in one season. It rained every day we were in the country. It was humid. The Monsoon season does not wash away top soil or other valuable substances from the land. Conakry is built on a field of iron ore.

To what degree do we adapt to the conditioning of society in shaping our identity? In this seminar, we will contemplate the pathways navigated by literary characters in works of African American writers as they grapple with issues of identity. From the works of authors such as Frederick Douglass, Sterling Brown, Toni Morrison, and Paule Marshall, we will explore the quest for self-affirmation when pitted against the obstacles of oppression. Through writing informal journals and formal essays, students will reflect upon the inner journey toward self-awareness. Videos and essays from diverse traditions will supplement the resources, as we address the challenges and triumphs presented by the complexities of life in the United States.

Africa Map Click here to see large map Introduction Features of Africa Africa is the second-largest continent , after Asia, covering 30,330,000 sq km; about 22% of the total land area of the Earth. It measures about 8,000 km from north to south and about 7,360 km from east to west. The highest point on the continent is Mt. Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Point - (5,963 m/19,340 ft) in Tanzania. The lowest is Lake 'Asal (153 m/502 ft below sea level) in Djibouti. The Forests cover about one-fifth of the total land area of the continent. The Woodlands, bush lands, grasslands and thickets occupy about two-fifth. And the Deserts and their extended margins have the remaining two-fifths of African land. World's longest river : The River Nile drains north-eastern Africa, and, at 6,650 km (4,132 mi), is the longest river in the world. It is formed from the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, and the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria. World's second largest lake : Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the is the world's second-largest freshwater lake - covering an area of 69,490 sq km (26,830 sq mi) and lies 1,130 m (3,720 ft) above sea level. Its greatest known depth is 82 m (270 ft).

5. Health Status and Health Requirements of the Older Generation in Traditional African Societies / Abstract Nana Apt, a social scientist from Ghana, has listed the basic needs of elderly Africans, both male and female, classifying them by their priority and by their regional distribution, i.e. by the places where the people live. In the cities, it is, above all, housing conditions that older people feel to be important or problematic, followed by loss of status and income, and possibilities of recreation. In rural areas, on the other hand, the problem of medical care ranks first, food supply, income and loss of status coming next. There are an increasing number of reports on how elderly people in the cities are simply disposed of by their relatives who just "forget" them in hospitals. This chapter also discusses problems of promoting and improving the health situation of old people in Africa. Syncretism in health care In this context, syncretism in the health area means that members of the older generation basically remain faithful to their cosmocentric and sociocentric attitudes and habits but also are quite willing to accept Western medicine when they are severely ill. In the world vision of most Africans such behaviour is not contradictory. The principle of seniority asserts itself also in medical care insofar as the elderly receive good medical treatment - at least in rural areas and if there is any possibility of treatment at all. In this part of the world, medical care is considered as a form of paying tribute or respect to the aged.

African Ethnicities Please note that I have a separate page available on African languages A number of Web pages have been produced by members of indigenous minority and majority ethnic groups world-wide. Rather than primarily serving as academic, encyclopedic, or anthropological resources, they are often self-promotional, but several provide excellent information and rigorous documentation. This is a small collection of such pages produced primarily by Africans, along with some material produced by others. Most often, these African ethnic group home pages are a direct expression of individual members of the group, but in several cases represent an academic, official, or institutional point of view. If you are looking for an "objective" presentation, these links may not be the best sources for your work. Nevertheless, most have very good cultural, historical, and other background information, and many provide links to related sites that you may also find useful. Below the list, there is a collection of Other sites with information on African ethnic groups with different kinds of resources, for example, with a national, cultural anthropological, or linguistic focus.

September 12-November 10, 1996 Ouattara: Dark Star Ouattara Weltbuendnis mixed media on tarpaulin 102 1/2 x 157 1/2 inches Courtesy Gagosian Gallery, New York, NY Ouattara Dark Star September 12-November 10, 1996 F rom the interstices of postcolonial history and memory, Ouattara's monumental paintings are hybrids of various cultural, social, spiritual impulses and histories, and seem to defy attempts to place them in a stable category. In fact, Ouattara resists categorization of his work; rather, he first conceptualizes, experiences, and then describes his paintings as universal, fluid, and, in his own words, "cosmic."1 Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Ouattara divides his time between Abidjan, Paris, and New York, suggesting the new global era of cultural intermingling, which transforms our boundaries. Because they are irrevocably the product of several interlocking histories and cultures Š people belonging to such cultures of hybridity have had to renounce the dream or ambition of rediscovering any kind of "lost" cultural purity, or ethnic absolutions. They are irrevocably translated. The word "translation," Salman Rushdie notes, "comes etymologically from the Latin for 'bearing across'." Migrant writers like him who belong to two worlds at once, "having been borne across the world Š are translated men." They are the products of the new diasporas created by the postcolonial migrations.4 Presently in Africa, people are connected to technology, but they also participate in sorcery, making fetishes. But they also watch television, listen to the radio. My life is very much the same way-I cannot say that I went to the spiritual school and limit myself to talking only about that experience. My experience good or bad also includes Western style education, which cannot simply be ignored. I try to make a synthesis of both experiences.7
