"Ethnicity" is sometimes used as a euphemism for "race", or as a synonym for minority group. While ethnicity and race are related concepts, the concept of ethnicity is rooted in the idea of societal groups, marked especially by shared nationality, tribal afilliation, religious faith, shared language, or cultural and traditional origins and backgrounds. Whereas race is rooted in the idea of biological classification of homo sapiens to subspecies according to morphological features such as skin color or facial characteristics.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Equatorial Guinea In 1982 a new constitution was approved that called for a more democratic political structure. In 1992 legislation was passed providing for a multiparty democracy. However, by 1993, when legislative elections were held, only one party, Obiang Nguema Mbasogo's Democratic Party for Equatorial Guinea (PDGE), held significant power, and the regime was widely denounced for its continued repression of opposition groups. In the 1996 multiparty presidential elections, which were boycotted by major opposition parties, the president won a landslide victory. In the late 1990s, over 100,000 citizens lived in exile abroad, and there was wide dissatisfaction with the slow pace of reform. Obiang Nguema Mbasogo was reelected unopposed in 2002 after opposition candidates, expecting fraud, withdrew. In Mar., 2004, the government foiled an apparent coup attempt involving mainly South African mercenaries. Sections in this article:

During the 17th cent. the mainland's indigenous pygmy peoples were displaced by other groups, principally the Fang, who now inhabit the area. In 1778, Portugal ceded the islands, and also the commercial rights to a part of the African coast that included present-day RIo Muni, to the Spanish. Hoping to export Africans as slaves to their American possessions, the Spanish sent settlers to the islands, but they died of yellow fever, and by 1781 the region was abandoned by the Europeans. From 1827 to 1843 the British leased bases at Malabo (then called Port Clarence) and San Carlos from Spain for use by their antislavery patrols, and some freed slaves were settled on Bioko (then called Fernando Po). In 1844 the Spanish reacquired Bioko and began to occupy it. In 1879, a Cuban penal settlement was established there, and some of the convicts remained on the island after being released from prison. The general region of RIo Muni was awarded to Spain at the Conference of Berlin in 1885, and its boundaries were defined precisely in a treaty with France in 1900. The islands and RIo Muni were grouped together as the colony of Spanish Guinea.

Extractions: Equatorial Guinea Introduction Back to Top Equatorial Guinea, independent republic, western Africa, consisting of a mainland section bordered on the north by Cameroon, on the east and south by Gabon, and on the west by the Gulf of Guinea; and, in the Gulf of Guinea, the islets of Corisco, Elobey Grande, and Elobey Chico, and the islands of Bioko (formerly Macías Nguema Biyogo, and previously Fernando Póo), and Annobón (Pagalu from 1973-1979). Equatorial Guinea has a total area of 28,051 sq km (10,831 sq mi). The capital is Malabo on the island of Bioko. Official Name- Republic of Equatorial Guinea 7 provinces (provincias, singular - provincia); Annobon, Bioko Norte, Bioko Sur, Centro Sur, Kie-Ntem, Litoral, Wele-Nzas. Equatorial Guinea People Back to Top The majority of the population is African, but its composition is complex for a political unit so small in size. The Fang people, who fought their way to the sea in the 19th and early 20th centuries by subjugating the weaker tribes in their path, form about 80 or 90 percent of the population of the mainland region. North of the Mbini River are the Ntumu Fang, and to the south of it are the Okak Fang. Holding political power on the mainland, the Fang tend to migrate to Bioko, where their leaders hold most of the levers of political control. Coastal tribes, such as the Kombe, Mabea, Lengi, Benga, and others, have been in contact with European traders much longer, and a limited amount of miscegenation has taken place, especially on the island of Corisco. Spanish ethnographers refer to these coastal tribes as playeros. Both the Fang majority and the playero minority are Bantu.

Extractions: Princeton Seminary Alumnus and Texas Educator Donates Rare African Books to Seminary Princeton, NJ, July 16, 2003The Reverend Dr. Henry Hale Bucher Jr. has donated his lifelong collection of rare Africana from the 19th and 20th centuries to the Princeton Theological Seminary archives. Bucher, currently chaplain and associate professor of humanities at Austin College, is a 1962 graduate of the Seminary. Bucher says he spent decades collecting West African books, especially about Gabon, because as a pastor and educator, I knew I would never have great financial wealth to give back to Princeton, but I can contribute this once-in-a-lifetime gift to their scholarly assets. Allison Petrilla claims the real value of the collection is beyond price, because it would be nearly impossible to reassemble such a group of materials today. Many of the books are written in African languages, including Mpongwe, Benga, Kelen, and Fang; many are in their original wrappers; many are cloth-bound or leather-bound. Since very little has been written on Gabon relative to other African nations, and since many of the books are rare or fragile, this collection of Gabonia is unique in the country, says Robert Petrilla.

Extractions: (published here with permission) We will never know if Lucy was a lesbian. The discovery of the famous skeleton in Ethiopia in 1974 by Dr. Richard Leaky was the clearest proof to date of human evolution beginning on the African continent. Carbon dating revealed that Lucy lived some 3 to 3.7 million years ago. Yet, whether she ever lusted after other female Australopithecines is a secret that will remain hers for eternity. Lucy is not the only one with secrets. The recorded knowledge of sexuality in African societies is far from encyclopedic. Little more than anecdotal attention has been paid to departures from procreative sexual practices in traditional cultures. The issue of individual desires rarely makes it into a body of anthropological literature dominated by analysis of the collective. At best, homosexuality is allocated little more than a footnote to any discussion of sexuality in Africa. If anthropologists and other researchers needed an excuse to avoid the subject, they've only had to point to widespread denial of homosexual practices by Africans themselves. Homosexuality is often thrown on to the pile of unwanted debris and issues, such as consumerism, attributed to the legacy of European and Arab colonialism.

Extractions: The World Conservation Union (IUCN) The transformation of the energy basis of human society from wind and wood to fossil fuels has given the world a new type of adaptation - urban-industrial society - which is producing a massive transformation of the biological functions of the earth. The growth, productivity, and dominance of the human species has reached unprecedented heights, which may ultimately threaten human life on earth. However, humans typically respond to such threats with thoughtful and deliberate attempts to reduce the threat. The current threat is no exception, and it is producing much thought and action on both scientific and political fronts. Not the least among such actions is the attempt to understand and to deal more effectively with the dynamic interaction of population, resources, and the environment. This chapter represents one small contribution to this vast topic. It focuses on an important and somewhat neglected arena: the relationship among people, protected areas, and biodiversity. This chapter addresses such problems, beginning with a discussion of biodiversity. A consideration of the modern view of protected areas and a review of current knowledge of human population dynamics follows. A series of issues central to developing a better understanding of how people and protected areas affect biodiversity is then identified. Suggestions for a research agenda that will lead to improved understanding of the people-parks-biodiversity interface concludes the chapter.
