Extractions: Brazil Brazil Academic Program Program Cost Scholarships ... Questions? This course is intended to provide students with an intensive in-country study and exposure to African diasporic culture and language with particular emphasis on the city of Salvador da Bahia in the Northeast of Brazil. People of African descent constitute a near-majority of Brazils overall population and an absolute majority in the state of Bahia. In fact, there are more people of African descent in Brazil than in any other nation except Nigeria, and Salvador da Bahia is commonly known as the most "African" city of the Americas. In recognition of the cultural uniqueness of Salvador da Bahia, the United Nations has declared sections of the city to be World Heritage Sites. Reflecting a long history of transatlantic settlement, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and cyclical regional economies in which people of African descentboth enslaved and freeconstitute the majority of the labor force, Salvador is city of the African Diaspora par excellence, where the vitality of African and African-American cultural expressions and social practices are omnipresent. Salvador da Bahia is almost a living museum of the ways in which African culture has developed and been transformed in the Americas. Of course, recent debates in historical anthropology and cultural studies suggest that many of the so-called "African cultural traditions" to be found in Salvador are, in fact manifestations of hybridized, multicultural, and polycentric Brazilian and Atlantic cultures. One of the course's primary objectives will be to identify and disentangle the African, national, and Atlantic roots of contemporary society in Salvador da Bahia.

Extractions: a full slate of activities at the U of O Ottawa, Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - Black History Month is all about examining and sharing the richness of African Diasporic History and Culture.

Woodson, to commemorates the cultural, social, political and economic contributions of Blacks throughout history.

Extractions: African Diaspora 3 positions positions filled Contact: Professor M. Crawford Young, Department of Political Science Description of Cluster: The intellectual terrain incorporated within this cluster cuts across fifteen departments and two area studies programs. The central organizing notion of the field is the set of links between the African and African diasporic communities, particularly those in Latin America, the Caribbean and North America. These connections reflect the dynamics of their forced or voluntary migration, their interactions and relations with societies of encounter, or among each other, and the adaptation, reproduction and transformation of African cultural, institutional, and expressive forms in diasporic settings.

Extractions: PHOTO BY MARTIN SCHWALBE P rof. Femi Kolapo, History, is proof that the African diaspora is alive and well at U of G during Black History Month. In his research and teaching, Kolapo is true to the African diaspora movement, which encourages people of African descent to embrace their roots and spread the word about their heritage. February was officially declared Black History Month in 1995 by the federal government in an effort to encourage people to explore the richness of African diasporic history and culture. It was originally instituted in 1925 by African-American historian Carter G. Woodson to commemorate the cultural, social, political and economic contributions of blacks throughout history. Kolapo, who came to Guelph in the fall of 2001, sees Black History Month as a perfect opportunity to educate Canadians about black culture.

http://wwwehlt.flinders.edu.au/wac5/forums/african/

Extractions: I have had the great honor to have known Ike Ward, a former slave. I am outdone by the fact that there is nothing to be found about this prescious person considering the fact that he showed me newspaper clippings of when he was sent to Egypt and other places to speak. I have a story to tell if anyone cares anymore. My mother was a nurse who saved him from being killed by medication ( inadvertantly) by another nurse. I met Ike when he was 116 years old. Sincerely, Andrea Greer Name: Michael Blakey mlblak@wm.edu The expansion of archaeological investigations of African Diasporic history and culture have stimulated discussions of the social vantages and political implications of diasporic archaeology. This is a past whose implications for current social identities seem overt. Can we utilize the discussion of this theme to better understand the social embeddedness of archaeology in general, while examining the African Diaspora in particular. Also, the scholarship of African Diasporans has been focused on the politics of the past for more than a century. How might our sessions utilize their intellectual legacy as archaeologists enter the study of the African diaspora from diverse cultural vantages? Name: Joan Gero
