Extractions: A significant programme for coastal planning, funded by the UICN, has been set up in Guinea-Bissau. This programme covers projects aimed at developing forestry, tourism, fishing, aquaculture and transport in the region. It also includes the setting-up of ecosystem protection areas and nature reserves. The World Bank has recently granted a loan to the Guinea-Bissau government in order to carry out a national action plan for environmental purposes. ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE The only active delta of West Africa is located within the coastal area and islands of Guinea-Bissau and constitutes a natural area of high diversity and richness. This active delta causes a rapid evolution of the coastal zone (sediment deposition, swell effect, etc.). An area of the Bijagos Archipelago is being classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.

Roads, ports and bridges had been destroyed in the war: there were shortages of food, expertise and agricultural know-how. Export trade - of peanuts, fish and palm kernels - had collapsed and the country relied on aid from both East and West. Today conditions are slowly improving. Although food production is increasing people still go short of rice, the staple. Women do most of the farming and earn a little cash from their peanut crop. Julian Quon

Extractions: THE LAND AS BODY Marxist or symbolist approaches to the medical domain among the Manjaks of Guinea-Bissau Wim van Binsbergen homepage Abstract [i] The relations between the symbolic order and the political economy of any social formation are unmistakable and often throw an interesting light upon the specific structure and dynamics of the symbolic order. But the potential of such analysis gets spent, and after initial illumination it soon turns out that some of our fundamental research questions tend to become remain unanswered (if they do not become obscured and misdirected) under a materialist approach. The reasons that made some of us adopt that approach in the first place remain valid (cf. van Binsbergen 1984a). These reasons do not primarily lie (contrary to Droogers 1985) in the academic market incentives at fashionable theoretical innovation, but in the following considerations which together somehow sum up the current neo-Marxist inspiration: (a) A rejection of the philosophical idealism which for almost a century (under the impact of Durkheim and his philosophical forbears) has dominated social anthropology in general and especially religious anthropology, and which has claimed an independent dynamics

Generally attributed to the inventor Alexander Graham Bell, the first was built in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1876. However, an Italian inventor Antonio Meucci is said to have invented the device in 1849, and in September 2001, Meucci was officially credited by the US Congress with the invention of the telephone, instead of Alexander Graham Bell. According to other Sources Philip Reis invented it in 1860, but due to a false translation of the German word "Telephon" his invention was considered only the predecessor of Bell's one.

http://people.bu.edu/cvsa/CVHC.html

Extractions: The Cape Verde Islands, a small West African country, composed of ten volcanic islands and five islets off the coast of Senegal. Introduction For more than 400 years, Portugal claimed the rocky, arid islands of Cape Verde. This long history of colonial rule permanently affected Cape Verdean culture, making the small country seem distinct from other African nations - "more European." But such a view ignores the shared ancestries and political struggles that link the islands to the mainland. Cape Verde is home to a population descended from free people and West African slaves as well as a diverse mix of peoples: Fula, Wolof, Papeis, Balanta, Bijago, Jalofa, Fulupe, Mandingo, Manjaco, Portuguese, Moroccan, Sephardic Jewish, Genoese, Lebanese, Chinese, Dutch, French, English, American, and Brazilian. The children of these settlers and passers-by forged a hybrid culture and language known as Crioulo (Portuguese for Creole), drawing upon the legacies brought to the islands by slavery and colonialism. The expansion of the slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean in the sixteenth century soon brought business and settlement to Cape Verde. Portugal made the islands its headquarters for its holdings on the Upper Guinea Coast, and by the sixteenth century was also using the region as a penal colony for convicts and political exiles. The islands were originally governed by the companhia system, a sort of feudal system in which individuals or the church oversaw small plantations where slaves, brought from mainland West Africa, cultivated cotton, sugar cane, and food crops. Early Cape Verdean society enjoyed considerable autonomy from the Portuguese monarchy, making it an attractive base to generations of traders and smugglers.

Return to "Facundo on Freire" entry page This document is located on Brian Martin's website on suppression of dissent in the section on Documents in the subsection on Facundo on Freire email: brian_martin@uow.edu.au Pedagogy in Process: The Letter to Guinea-Bissau is, among Freire's most recent books, the only one available in the English language. For purposes of analysis we can divide the book into two major sections: (1) reflections by Freire, intended for the reader of the book, and (2) the text of some letters written by Paulo Freire to Mario Cabral, State Commissioner of Education and Culture in Guinea-Bissau, and to the team that within Guinea-Bissau was trying to use Freire's ideas and procedures to develop a national literacy campaign. The letters themselves comprise approximately 45 percent of the book (certainly less than half of it, at least in its Spanish version, which is the one I have used). What is written directly for the reader is intended by Freire to be a "letter-report, a letter as informal as the rest of the letters which integrate the book." Freire does not seem to realize that the letter he addresses to the readers comprises the largest portion of the book itself. In truth, experiences are not transplanted; instead they are re-invented.
