Nortey is a citizen of Ghana, where he received certification as a chartered public accountant before becoming an ordained Seventh-day Adventist minister and the president of the African-Indian Ocean Division. He presented the paper from which this essay is taken to a symposium for missiologists, August 1-5, 1988, at the European Institute of World Missions, Newbold College, England. The paper, in its original form, will be appearing in the published proceedings of the conference, available through Newbold College, Bracknell Berks., England. On Saturday July 16, 1988, in the company of a Seventh-day Adventist minister, I attend a church service at Accra New Town, the headquarters of the Kristo Asafo Mission Church. The founder of this independent African denomination grew up knowing Seventh-day Adventists, and the 350 congregations of his denomination worship on the seventh day of the week. On the farthest west is a table covered with white cloth. On each side of the table is a wooden lectern. On the west wall, behind the table, is a large wall clock, stuck between the carved wings of a golden eagle. On the table is a tall glass vase with artificial flowers in it. On each side of the flower vase is a table clock. Pictures of Bible characters and scenes are painted in lovely, bright colors all over the four walls. This morning, approximately 300 people are in attendance. The women and children are seated toward the pulpit, and the men are seated at the farthest east of the hall. The elders and two choirs sit apart from the worshippers. All the women have their heads covered with long, white shawls, which cover their shoulders also. At first sight, one has the feeling of seeing a Muslim assembly.

Country Tanzania Introduction Top of Page Background: Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities.

Extractions: Population distribution in Tanzania is extremely uneven. Density varies from 1 person per square kilometer (3 per sq. mi.) in arid regions to 51 per square kilometer (133 per sq. mi.) in the mainland's well-watered highlands and 134 per square kilometer (347 per sq. mi.) on Zanzibar. More than 80% of the population is rural. Dar es Salaam is the capital and largest city; Dodoma, located in the center of Tanzania, has been designated the new capital, although action to move the capital has stalled. The African population consists of more than 120 ethnic groups, of which the Sukuma, Haya, Nyakyusa, Nyamwezi, and Chaga have more than 1 million members The majority of Tanzanians, including such large tribes as the Sukuma and the Nyamwezi are of Bantu stock. Groups of Nilotic or related origin include the nomadic Masai and the Luo, both of which are found in greater numbers in neighboring Kenya. Two small groups speak languages of the Khoisan family peculiar to the Bushman and Hottentot peoples. Cushitic-speaking peoples, originally from the Ethiopian highlands, reside in a few areas of Tanzania.
Extractions: Nkem Ekeopara When on Nkwo, Friday, November 30, 1979, the Ajiajoku Lecture was inaugurated with Professor M.J.C. Echeruos Lecture: A matter of identity- Ahamefule , every Onye Igbo of age and reason, knew the pod of knowledge on all facets of the Igbo world has been exploded. Therefore, it was a matter of time for its dispersal to impact the listening world and become an important scholarly reference for future generations of Ndiigbo scattered around the globe and indeed for other nationalities genuinely interested in understanding Igbo Culture and Civilization. The Igbo icon and Elder Statesman, Sam Onunaka Mbakwe, former Executive Governor of old Imo State who ordered that the ikoro be sounded in this respect to reawaken Ndiigbos consciousness to their proud heritage, deserve an eternal place of honor for his vision and courage to pursue same. Late Mazi Dr. Ray Ofoegbu, his Commissioner for Information, Culture, Youths and Sports at the time, and the inaugural Planning Committee led by the late Ambassador G.M.K. Anoka who worked tirelessly to drum and trumpet reality into the vision, deserve no less. Indeed, all those who have ensured that the annual harvest of thought endured in spite of all odds deserve our praise. Since, Professur Echeruos landmark lecture in 1979, some of the best scholars of Igbo ancestry have taken turns using their diverse disciplines and professions and very apt titles to clearly signpost Igbo Culture and Civilization. One only need to take a look a the profiles of past performers and the titles they used to explore the Igbo world to appreciate the pedestal we should place The Ahiajoku Lecture in the ongoing and attainable Igbo Renaissance.

Extractions: (no images shown) I now have 709 African art slides. Of these 542 are African (incl. Egypt-Nubian), 117 Egyptian (non-Nubian), and 47 African American introduction slides. This page lists the African, Egypt-Nubian, African American introduction, and a few of Western art influenced by African art. This page does not list my Egyptian non-Nubian slides, and additional African American and African European slides, which are on different lists. In addition to the above slides, I show additional works or art on the 20 videotapes I have on African art and related culture, and art processes. The timeframes of these tapes range from approximately 15 to 90 minutes. I plan to write a Web page of notes on these tapes. In teaching African art, I use all or part of these slides, videotapes, and other materials, depending on the nature and purpose of the course, and the course's place in the institution's curriculum. This list divides the continent into three geographic divisions, North, East and Southern, West, and Central. Each division is subdivided by traditional, crafts, and neo-African art as recent as 1999. The list concludes with African-influenced art and crafts, and an introduction to African American art if the latter is appropriate.

Extractions: This paper discusses the interaction of language, reality and gender and the implications of these for education and human cognition. By an incursion through several writers' criticisms of sexist English language, the consequent development of non-sexist equivalent by publishers, women organizations and an international body, this work discusses the relevance of language and gender studies in Nigerian education. A close reading of texts, as in this paper's analysis of an Igbo reader, is an important discursive framework for revealing the way in which dominant images are filtered into learners' cognitive structure, informing their conceptions of selves and their world. Universal Basic Education is a goal-directed government scheme aimed at eradicating illiteracy in line with United Nations declaration for the provision of functional literacy through learner's acquisition of reading, writing and numeracy skills. Functional literacy includes formal and non-formal educational activities and programmes designed to enable learners live meaningful and fulfilling lives, contribute to the development of the society and derive maximum social, economic and cultural benefits from the society. The term redemptive egalitarianism as used by Professor Ardo Ezeomah (1999) is an educational intervention aimed at equalizing access to education for the disadvantaged groups who are not in the mainstream of policy formulation, decision-making and implementation.

Extractions: From Boy Wives and Female Husbands: Studies in African Homosexualities by Stephen O. Murray and Will Roskam Stephen O. Murray keelung@itsa.ucsf.edu , and Will Roskam. This document may not be reproduced in any format without express permission of the authors. The text is an early manuscript portion of the book, which is due out from St. Martin's Press, NYC, in October 1998. Homosexuality in "Traditional" Sub-Saharan Africa and Contemporary South Africa Super-Saharan Africa provides a well-documented site of age-defined homosexuality. Despite the recent excesses of a Shia "Islamic Revolution" in one country with pre-Islamic proscription of homosexuality, the social structure of North Africa almost guarantees male and female homosexualities. Segregation of the sexes is nearly total, and, historically, women have been monopolized in harems, where, rarely visited, albeit closely watched by eunuchs, they almost certainly turned to each other. Being neither literate nor of much interest to those who were, there are few traces of what harem life was like for women. Although I do not think any serious scholar has attempted to deny pederastic practices in North African cultures, recurrent attempts have been made in English to deny any indigenous homosexuality in sub-Saharan Africa. For instance, Hrdy (1987:1113) categorically asserted, "Homosexuality is not part of traditional societies in Africa" and, after asking some chiefs and headmen about it, Gelfand (1979) wrote that "the traditional Shona [of Zimbabwe] have none of the problems associated with homosexuality [so] obviously they must have a valuable method of bringing up children, especially with regards to normal sex relations, thus avoiding this anomaly so frequent in Western society."
