Tembo*, Ph. D Associate Prof. of Sociology S kusupa. Music and dance are perhaps the most universal of the creative nature of humans. Rural traditional people of Zambia are no exception. In spite of the dramatic social changes that have influenced many urban dwellers, Zambian rural people have maintained their traditional dance and music. What would you do for entertainment on a Sunday afternoon if you did not have the movie theater to go to, open air rap concerts to attend, the VCR to watch a video movie, or TV to watch sports? If you lived eight thousand miles away among the Tumbuka , you would either be watching or dancing the mganda. I encountered the fascinating mganda dancers when I was travelling in the Lundazi rural district in Zambia. Traditional Zambian dance has not remained static. The people have adapted to modern influences thereby incorporating modern styles and synthesizing them with the traditional ones. One such excellent example is that of the mganda dance common among the Tumbuka people of the Lundazi district of the Eastern Province of rural Zambia. As is common in most of Africa, the Tumbuka straddle the international boundary between Zambia and Malawi. This is why the

Extractions: Member: Eastern Christian Link Swap by Stephen Hayes Originally published in Missionalia , the journal of the Southern African Missiological Society. Most histories of Christian mission in Africa, even those that are ostensibly ecumenical or pan-Christian, make little or no mention of Orthodox Church missions in Africa.1 There are several possible reasons for this, among them a bias on the part of many mission historians in favour of missions that were established before 1950 (Fiedler 1995:92). Most, though not all, Orthodox missions in tropical Africa began after that date. Another possible reason is that even those Orthodox missions that began before 1950 were not regarded as "mainstream" by the established Roman Catholic and Protestant missions, because they were identified with African independent church movements, which at that time were regarded by the Western churches as a problem for mission rather than a form of mission. The identification of Orthodoxy with the struggle against colonialism was also an embarrassment at that time. One Kenyan, writing of such attitudes, referred to "those who in their calculated ignorance misinterpret African-Christian-Orthodoxy as 'paganism'" (Lemopoulos 1993:123). Much of what has been published in English has been fragmentary, dealing with a particular place or period. Orthodox mission in tropical Africa has had its ups and downs, and the situation has changed rapidly, so that descriptions of what was happening at times in the past may not apply today. Orthodox mission today is characterised by a huge variety. Just about every mission method ever found in any part of the world, at any time in Christian history, can be found here. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to try to give a broad survey of Orthodox mission in this part of the world. It is primarily historical and descriptive, rather than an analysis of the theology of mission. Obviously such a survey must be lacking in detail, but it should at least provide the context for interpreting other more specialised studies.

Extractions: The Indigenous Music of Africa Africa, south of the Sahara is inhabited by hundreds of different ethnic groups, each with a musical tradition of its own. Sub-Saharan Africa boasts of a diverse and rich traditional music heritage that has for centuries been orally transmitted from generation to generation. Despite external influences, the majority of these ethnic groups continue to value and practice their respective traditional musical styles which in turn have and continue to establish strong musical and cultural identities. In tonight's concert event, the MIT African Performing Ensemble (MITCAN) in its second semester of existence at MIT can only share fragments of this rich cultural music heritage that range from song, dance and instrumental music from three broad areas of East and South Africa - specifically: Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa.

In 1996 and 1997, there were several threads about these very similar drums, their origin, and their method of construction (staved vs. carved from a single log), prompted in part by the fact that Baba Olatunji had referred to and used both in his bands over the years. As with the djembe, the ashiko and ngoma have a longer and more complex history in North America (and Africa) than many people

Extractions: Social scientists depictions of rural communities suggest that personalized relationships sealed by various forms of reciprocal exchange contribute to peoples wellbeing by allowing them to solve important problems effectively. Economists do not escape this rule. They consider that such personalized networks of relationships have the potential advantages of supplying informal insurance to their members and overcoming the trust problem inherent in all difficult and costly to enforce exchanges. Recent but growing concern about the negative consequences of ethnic feelings have mitigated this positive view, however. This paper explores the role of the community in generating or relaying ethnic feelings. The recent ethnic genocide and cleansing in Rwanda and Yugoslavia seem to indicate that political manipulation orchestrated at the highest levels is the main force sparking ethnic hatred and killings. Yet unless we are prepared to see ordinary people as automata mechanically responsive to the messages sent by their elites, we have to ask why these people chose to obey messages of racial hatred and to perpetrate violence. In Rwanda the question is why the same people who spent an inordinate amount of time and energy disobeying directives from above in ordinary day-to-day matters chose to follow the instructions or incitements to ethnic violence broadcast by their elites (Uvin, 1998, pp. 2067). This paper highlights the grassroots logic that can reinforce and propagate ethnic hatred triggered by the upper echelons of the political sphere using two concepts borrowed from social choice theoryweak and strict monotonicity.

Extractions: Listen to the Voices Below you will find excerpts from Voices of Poor. Listen to the poor as they speak about their lives, and what it means to be poor. The excerpts are organized around the major conclusions of the study: The poor view wellbeing holistically Insecurity has increased. Violence is on the rise, both domestically and in the society. And the poor feel they have been bypassed by new economic opportunities. Gender inequity is widespread, domestic violence pervasive and gender relations stressed. The poor want governments and state institutions to be more accountable to them. Corruption emerges as a key poverty issue. ... The poor rely on informal networks and local institutions to survive, including the local holy man and the local nurse. The poor view wellbeing holistically Poverty is much more than income alone. For the poor, the good life or wellbeing is multidimensional with both material and psychological dimensions. Wellbeing is peace of mind; it is good health; it is belonging to a community; it is safety; it is freedom of choice and action; it is a dependable livelihood and a steady source of income; it is food. The poor describe illbeing as lack of material things - food especially but also lack of work, money, shelter and clothing and living and working in often unhealthy, polluted and risky environments. They also defined illbeing as bad experiences and bad feelings about the self. Perceptions of powerlessness over one's life and of voicelessness was common; so was anxiety and fear for the future.

By 2004 the population had grown to an estimated 26.4 million Ugandans, giving the country a population density of 132 per sq km (342 per sq mi). The estimated growth rate of the population in 2004 was 3 percent. The birth rate was 46 per 1,000 people and the death rate 17 per 1,000. Life expectancy at birth was 45.3 years. The fertility rate, the number of births per woman, was 6.6. Almost all Ugandans are black Africans. Foreign residents make up less than 4 percent of the population and come mostly from neighboring states. The population is concentrated in the south, particularly in the crescent at the edge of Lake Victoria and in the southwest. Uganda is predominantly rural, with only 15 percent of the population living in urban areas. Kampala, near Lake Victoria, is Ugandaâs intellectual and business center and its only city. Jinja, the most important industrial center, is located on the Nile at Lake Victoria. The next largest towns are Mbale, Masaka, Mpigi, and Mbarara. A.
