The author is the senior research officer at RICSA in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Cape Town in Rondebosch, South Africa Introduction In South Africa, we have just emerged from the dark tunnel of apartheid. Apartheid was about separation and domination of the black indigenous majority in our country. It was an ideology of domination by a settler minority: the imposition by ruthless means of political and cultural hegemony. Apartheid has now been dealt a death blow by democracy. It has been like the lifting of a burden on the psyche of this nation. April 27, 1994, was truly a moment of liberation for all South Africans. What we are left with is the legacy of apartheid. In its wake, apartheid has left a divided and scarred nation. Many years of inequality mean that the legitimate expectations of millions of South Africans can hardly be met fast enough to avoid frustrations and that present resources are hardly adequate to correct the historic distortions caused by apartheid with the urgency required. South Africans and the new government of national unity are searching for a concept of government and national life that seeks to correct these historic imbalances and yet heals and reconciles society and communities. It seeks to mark a qualitative difference from a country ruled by fear and privilege to one guided by the universal principles of human rights.

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

Extractions: Contents Previous Next The Burkina Faso case study General methodology The Burkina case study research followed the basic Land Settlement Review (LSR) model. The case study was based on a blend of quantitative and qualitative research at four study sites - the AVV (Autorité pour l'Aménagement des Vallées des Volta, or Volta Valley Authority) planned settlements in the upper Nakambe (ex-White Volta) [1] river basin, spontaneous settlement in the southwest "cotton boom" area of Solenzo [2] in the Mouhoun (ex-Black Volta) river basin, spontaneous settlement [3] in the area surrounding the newly created hydroelectric dam in the Kompienga river basin [4], and spontaneous settlement into the Niangoloko subsector and the neighbouring Classified Forest at Toumousseni near the Leraba and Comoe river basins (Figure 2). The interviews with study farmers revolved around four surveys: 1. frequent visitation surveys of crop, livestock, and non-farm production activities for 25 to 35 households at three of the four sites (excluding Niangoloko); 2. a structured interview with 25 to 35 households at each site regarding their immigration history and historic relationships with the indigenous hosts and immigrant agriculturalists and pastoralists;

Extractions: CAJUN CREOLE THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE Linguists find the roots of the word "Creole" to be in the Spanish "Criallo," meaning mixture of cultures or colors (the brand name "Crayola"™ has the same root), and the Latin word "creare," meaning to create. In essence, the sense is of a new creation of a multi-colored race. The Creoles, originally, were the children of European aristocrats, born in New Orleans. The Spanish, in order to establish New Orleans in the early 1690s, sought out aristocrats who, by being the second sons, were not entitled to inheritences. The intermarriage of the seven nations that settled the city in the late 1600s, created Creole culture in the larger sense. So Creole is Native American, French, Spanish, English, African, German and Italian. THE FOOD THE FOOD The food represents the sharing of these peoples ITALY: pastry and ice cream making Creole cooking is more complex than Cajun. It can be thought of as "city cooking."

And, He wanted the U.N. Security Council to agree on something for a change. And, what do you know, India, after all these years of being nasty to missionaries has decided to allow any former missionary to return for five years at a time! Mozambique, whose coastline laid alongside the U.S. would run twice as far as from Seattle to Los Angeles, is now inviting missionaries to return to that worlds most torn country. They can't do without the missionaries! These events are as hard to believe as the relaxations in Nepal, Albania, and the handshaking between North and South Korea.

They present the reader with an objective perspective on the problems facing Africans today: the diversity, the conflicts, and the changesall a result of Western interference. Africa, more that three times the size of the United States, includes fifty- three very diverse countries and a population of about 700 million people. Africans are divided not only by boundaries, which did not exist prior to colonization, but also by ethnic identities, class distinctions, urban and rural experiences, geographic barriers, and vast distances. Population varies widely (Gabon- one million; Nigeria- 115 million). Ways of life vary dramatically. Some live in cities and work in offices or skyscrapers, buy clothes from department stores and have all of the modern conveniences- yet may travel to the rural areas for traditional festivals, to see healers or to visit extended families. Rural community members may seldom visit the cities, may walk miles for water in the dry season, and listen to transistor radios as they welcome a relative back from graduate studies overseas.

Songhai Empire What do the people think about art What are their beliefs What are some masking trends today? Today, most of the population of Mali (estimated at 10,878,000 in 1995) is African. The major groups are the Bambara (the linguistic name for the Bamana and Bamakan people), Fulani (the English name for the Fulfulde or Peul groups), Soninka (which includes the Marka), Senoufo (the linguistic name for groups also referred to as "Senufo"), Songhai, Maninke (includes the Malinka and the Maninka), and the Dogon. Nomadic Tuaregs and other Berbers roam the Sahel and parts of the Sahara. In all, there are thirty-two languages listed for Mali, but French is the official language and Bambara is widely used. The Bambara are the largest cultural segment, but the Dogon (roughly 5% of the population) are world-renowned for their artwork and dance festivals (Grimes 1996; "Mali, Republic" 1998). The influence of the Bambara extends far beyond the areas that they inhabit. Art historians often include in discussion of the Bambara style the works of the Khassonke (of the Kassonke linguistic group- about 1% of the population of Mali), Malinke, Marka (of the Soninke group) and Minianka (the Minianka are of the Senoufo Mamara). Different variants of style cannot be easily identified from pieces that have been collected (Luezinger 1960, p. 76).

Extractions: (by Dietrich Bonhoeffer) There is only one way of following Jesus and of worshipping God, and that is to be reconciled with our brethren. If we come to hear the word of God and receive communion without first being reconciled with our neighbors, we shall come to our own damnation. In the sight of God we are murderers. Therefore go thy way, first be reconciled with thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. This is a hard way, but it is the way Jesus requires if we are to follow Him. It is a way which brings much personal humiliation and insult, but it is indeed the way to Him, our crucified Brother, and therefore a way of grace abounding. In Jesus the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one. He went His way and became reconciled with His brother and offered Himself as the one true sacrifice to His Father. We are still living in the age of grace, for each of us still has a brother, we are still with him on the way. The court of judgment lies ahead, and there is still a chance for us to be reconciled with our brother and pay our debt to him. The hour is coming when we shall meet the judge face to face, and then it will be too late. We shall then receive our sentence and be made to pay the last farthing. But do we realize that at this point our brother comes to us in the guise not of law but of grace? It is grace that we are allowed to find favor with our brother, and pay our debt to him; it is grace that we are allowed to become reconciled with him. In our brother we find grace before the seat of judgment.
