McCarthy, Editor Message from the Editor I have several items to bring to your attention at this time: 2) Subscription Renewals ­ Far too many of you have not renewed your subscription for 1999. Not to put too fine a point on it, but the newsletter is in rather dire financial shape. Please check your label - if says "98" after your name, this is your last newsletter unless you pay your 1999 fee. I also encourage everyone to renew for 2000 as soon as possible ­ see the next item. 4) Compilation Volume - A bound compilation of issues 1-25 of A-A A is in production for a January roll-out. In addition to copies of the first 25 issues of the newsletter, the compilation will include several specially commissioned essays and an index to major articles. I anticipate that the volume will sell for approximately $25.00. Stay tuned for more details as this project develops. 5) Contributions - We are always looking for substantive contributions to A-A A. Please consider the newsletter as your direct pipeline to the community of scholars with whom you most want to share the results of your work, "float trial balloons," etc.

The Yoruba Today J.S. Eades (Originally published by Cambridge University Press 1980) Author's note on the online version In order to make the text of this book available as quickly as possible, the text alone has been scanned in from the original, omitting the diagrams, maps and photographs. It may be possible to add these in a subsequent version. Also left for future versions are italics and the dots under the letters e, o, and s, as described in the note on orthography below. Yoruba specialists will easily be able to supply them, and non-Yoruba specialists will not be particularly worried by their omission.] Preface These latter variables are central to the final chapter which deals with social stratification. Discussions of stratification based on Marxist or Weberian categories and discussions of ethnic identity stemming from the work of Abner Cohen have been pursued largely in isolation from each other. This is a preliminary attempt at a synthesis which I hope to develop in future. Many general surveys of this sort start off as by-products of Ph.D. dissertations: this one is no exception. My fieldwork was financed by a Hayter Studentship from the Department of Education and Science, and by a Smuts Studentship from the University of Cambridge. During the course of my fieldwork I was affiliated to the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Legon, and to the Department of Sociology, University of Ibadan. My thanks are due to all these institutions, together with Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, for a period of study-leave during which much of the thesis was written and the present study planned.

Bibliography Introduction Discrimination against women is defined by Article 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women The focus of this paper is on the constraints and possibilities that shape the environment of Nigerian women and either enable them to surmount the problems arising from discrimination or limit their ability to do so. The central thesis is that discrimination against women in particular societies takes different forms, and thus requires the utilization of differential strategies in different historical epochs and societies. Discrimination against women will then continue to be a problem until all the factors responsible for its existence, maintenance and institutionalization are understood and eradicated.

Home NIGERIA RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Political and Other Extrajudicial Killing On May 5, a member of Lagos deputy governor's security detail allegedly killed a young woman when she obstructed the security detail as it was trying to clear traffic for a motorcade. Reports vary as to whether she was in a car or was a pedestrian. The security officer was charged with murder by a magistrate court. At year's end, the case had not been transferred to a court with jurisdiction over murder cases and a trial date had not been set. Police and military personnel used excessive and sometimes deadly force in the suppression of civil unrest, property vandalization, and interethnic violence, primarily in the oil and gas regions of Lagos, Kaduna and Abia states. Confrontations between increasingly militant "youths" (who tend to be unemployed males between the ages of 16 and 40), oil companies, and government authorities continued during the year. Reportedly 28 Delta youths were killed in such conflicts over protests or suspected vandalization near oil flow stations.

Transnational Social Fields of the Yoruba in Toront o A thesis presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Guelph in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, February, 2000 Charles T. Adeyanju Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Guelph Abstract Until very recently, the word "immigrant" had evoked images of people who had come to stay, having been transplanted from their original home in order to make for themselves a new home to which they would pay allegiance. This thesis questions the assumptions that minorities and migrants demonstrate an exclusive loyalty to one nation-state. This is examined by exploring the mode of social connections and frequency by which one of the most salient African ethnic communities in Toronto, the Yoruba (the pedigrees of Oduduwa from the Federal Republic of Nigeria), maintain ties on various levels with their "home community" in this period of globalization. Yoruba migration is linked to their enmeshment in global capitalism, beginning with colonialism which extracted natural resources for the development of the European industrialism, and later neocolonialism which caused the pervasive penetration of global capital in the form of loans, and the collusion of internal social forces with the Western transnational corporations, leading to the pauperization of the mass of the Nigerian population. It is argued that the crass material exploitation of Nigeria, both in the colonial and postcolonial periods is not enough to explain the Yoruba migration and their transnational practices but should be viewed in conjunction with the "dependency complex" caused by the colonial and neocolonial domination of their "psyche".

Media Development archive Subscription form Advocacy and Studies ... issue 1 1998 In Nigeria the prohibitive cost of producing films and other economic considerations have led producers to resort to video films. This boom has caused a general drop in quality and fuelled intense competition to promote their commercial appeal. In spite of the powers conferred on it by statute, the censors' body appears unable to stem the tide of this commercialism in a way which might effectively promote the country's rich cultural heritage. How video films developed in Nigeria Nosa Owens-Ibie Changes in human society reflect the dynamism of culture. This dynamism is responsible for constant shifts in patterns associated with given cultures, and the multicultural character of most, if not all, societies substantially widens the scope for influence on such cultures. Definitions of culture are wide in scope. Arulogun, (1979: 31) citing Ekpo Eyo, settled for a vast, partly human, material and spiritual apparatus 'by which societies are organised into permanent and recognisable groups.' Over the years, the medium of film has come to be closely associated with the culture industry. In Nigeria, such a role for the film industry is still evolving although certain factors are altering the profile of what could be regarded as the country's culture, while the film industry itself is undergoing a crucial transition.

It will be improbable to realisticly recreate a single disease.. let alone multiple non-related plauges.. ME: I agree with you that a good way to handle diseases would be difficult to do well. However, the alternative is to not have the effects of disease in there at all. As in most of Clash, if the "flavor" can be gotten more-or-less correct on a feature representing the real world I will consider it a success. I feel strongly that we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good, or we will never even get the first beta version out. K: That wasn't my point... You really have a choice.. either you do a "forced" type of black plauge thing.. or you go for a more realistic but less historically accurate.. That was my real point..
