Extractions: - in anthropology, tradition refers to a long-standing cultural practice, such as Greek boy love or the extended family household in many places, not to any institution of the past (e.g., 1950s TV imaginary nuclear family) that people want to elevate; indigenous refers to a custom, belief, product, etc., of a native or original people, not just anything believed to be primordial or primitive (usually fantasy, such as "killer ape man")

Extractions: How Do We Know Africa Has a History? Engage Although the following is not a complete, comprehensive list of historical tools, it highlights four major areas of analysis that tell historians something about the past. It also gives an example for each of these, describing how they might be used in the example of Jos, Nigeria. Compare our list with your own. Did you come up with any different ideas? What were they? Any of the same ideas? What were they? Hausa storytellers like this man relay oral histories to their communities. Written sources : A wealth of literature has been written about Nigeria. Although much of what we read has been written recently in European languages, there are many writings which date back further and use indigenous African languages and Arabic. Historians read these writings to learn about the history of a region. An example that would be useful to learning about the history of northern Nigeria in the 16th century CE is Imam Ibn Furtuwa's writing on the wars of the Mai of Bornu, Idris Alaoma. Oral sources : Even amongst people who have not written down their history, often a rich oral history has been passed from generation to generation. An example of a historian who drew heavily on oral traditions of West Africa, including north-central Nigeria, was A. Hampate Ba who wrote the

By European standards the population is sparse and is scattered into small-holdings of mainly self-supporting Hausas. Geographically, Hausaland is significantly situated at the joining point of different ethnic groups - the Southern indigenous people and the Hamitic strain from North Africa. Rainfall occurs between June and September, leaving the mainly farming population with ample time to develop crafts and, until comparatively recent times, to conduct war. In the rainy season farming demands the full attention of the whole family. Travelling at this time used to be especially difficult, whereas in the dry season the rivers dried up and communication became easy. Until comparatively recent times the roads were poor, so donkeys and camels were widely used.

Extractions: McNeil became part of a small group of SIPA students who wanted to promote investment in Africa. Today, development is much more about capital markets than it is about trade flows. Most people are not aware of the exponential growth of stock markets in Africa, especially South Africa. In the next few decades, I think infrastructure development based on new technologies is what is going to propel Africa forward. And I expect to be part of it. Tel: 212-854-4663 Director: Mahmood Mamdani F ounded in 1959, the Institute of African Studies has prepared generations of Africa practitioners for careers in development, diplomacy, business, governance, journalism, law and human rights, and academic research and teaching. It provides a special forum for students, faculty, and others interested in the multitude of issues facing the African continent. A weekly brown bag lecture series features presentations by academicians, diplomats, journalists, activists, business leaders, and development practitioners. The monthly University Seminar on Africa invites distinguished scholars to present their research; the Diplomatic Forum attracts diplomats from around Africa to speak to faculty and students. In addition, a number of conferences and panel discussions draw specialists from around the world. Each spring, students affiliated with the Institute organize a conference on a theme of their own choosing.

Extractions: NIGERIA Much has been said and written about Nigeria, her people and culture, economy and politics, that sheds light on the tremendous potential of this African Giant. However, little is known to the outside world about the many exciting tourist attractions available in Nigeria: Historic sites nestled amid rivers and rain forests, breathtaking mountain vistas, remote creek villages, miles of pristine beaches and exotic national wildlife reserves. There are also museums, festivals, music and dance, a rich cultural melange right down to everyday traditional markets. These are just some of the spectacular sights and sensual delights awaiting the traveler to Nigeria. Nigeria has the largest population of any country in Africa (about 120 million), and the greatest diversity of cultures, ways of life, cities and terrain. With a total land area of 923,768 sq. km. (356,668 sq. mi.) Nigeria is the 14th largest country in Africa. Its coastline, on the Gulf of Guinea, stretches 774 km (480 mi.). Nigeria shares its international border of 4,470 km (2513 mi.) with four neighbors: Chad, Cameroon, Benin, and Niger. Until 1989 the capital was Lagos, with a population of about 2,500,000, but the government recently moved the capital to Abuja. CLIMATE AND WEATHER Nigeria lies entirely within the tropics yet there are wide climactic variations. In general, there are two seasons, dry and wet, throughout Nigeria. Near the coast, the seasons are less sharply defined. Temperatures of over 900F are common in the north, but near the coast, where the humidity is higher, temperatures seldom climb above that mark. Inland, around the two great rivers, the wet season lasts from April-Oct. and the dry season from Nov.-March. Temperatures are highest from Feb-April in the south and MarchJune in the north; they're lowest in July and Aug. over most of the country.

Omrie Golley, the RUF's legal spokesman, told IRIN that ECOMOG helicopter gunships fired on RUF troops in Magbas, near Magburaka, some 150 km northeast of Freetown and, in the east of the country, near the Tongo-Moyamba junction. ECOMOG spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Chris Olukulade told IRIN ECOMOG troops had come under "a massive rebel attack around Magburaka between two and five o'clock this morning". He said troops along the main highway between Freetown and the eastern town of Kenema had also come under rebel attack. The ceasefire came into effect on Monday.
