Extractions: The Languages of Africa Within the African continent, there exists a great variety of languages and ethnicities with thousands of years of history and culture. Of the languages spoken in Africa , the majority are native to the land. The clear exceptions are Arabic and European languages such as French, English, and Portuguese. However, these languages too have become an integral part of African culture and identity. Arabic itself is part of the Afro-Asiatic family of languages, that include other Semitic languages spoken in East Africa such as Amharic (official language of Ethiopia), Gurage Tigrina Tigré (sometimes known as Geez). Other groups within the Afro-Asiatic family include Camitic (Berber languages such as Tuareg and Tamazight), Cushitic Somali Oromo ) and Chadic (Hausa). Virtually all of these languages are found throughout the northern half of the continent, that is, the Sahara , the Sahel , and East Africa . In the Nile River Valley we also find several languages of the Nilo-Saharan family . These include such spoken languages as Nuer and Dinka as well as many other languages and dialects in the Sudan Ethiopia and Chad By far the most diverse language family in Africa is the N iger-Congo family . It is divided into the Kordofanian (several dialects in the Sudan Mande (Bambara and Mandinka in Mali ), and the

Jones' Photographs of Nigerian Masquerades For when all is said and done, a work of art must ultimately be judged by its visual effect; its appeal must be universal and regardless of age, its function, its maker or what other people have to say about it. (G.I. Jones, The Art of Eastern Nigeria, 1984.) Gwilym Iwam Jones wrote the above sentence to introduce the art of eastern Nigeria. It could have been written about his own photographs, particularly those depicting the performance of masquerades in the region during the 1930s. Not only do they illustrate Jones' mastery of the photographic technique, they also bring out the vivid imagination that framed his images. Their appeal lies in their ability to communicate actions, expressions and responses of people photographed, be they the performers, the audience or the local villagers. By using natural shadows to illuminate details, by experimenting with exposure times, apertures and focal lengths, Jones captured the experience of participating in many kinds of masquerades that are rarely performed today.

Extractions: Ethnicity denotes an extreme consciousness of and loyalty to a particular linguistic and cultural group unidentified with any other group (Udoh 1998:38). Such groups usually possess myth of origin, traceable to an epical ancestor or ancestress. With a strong ruling house such ethnic groups like the Yoruba, Edo, Fante were able to organize themselves into Empire or Kingdoms, conquering and incorporating other lesser ethnic groups as vassals. With the coming of colonial masters, treaties were signed with such kingdoms wherever they existed; especially during the 17th and 18th centuries (Bradbury et al 1965; Igbafe 1972). Origin of ethnicity in Africa Ethnicity in post-colonial Africa is principally a response to the new social structure the indigenous people found themselves in during the colonial era and at independence. The cultural upbringing is seriously at variance with the social processes of the modern era. Bohannan (1957) speaks of the philosophy of limited good among the Tiv of Nigeria. All goods are communally owned and so the possession of a good by one person is the loss of that good by another. This concept is applicable to every tribe in most circumstances. Ethnic discrimination has its root in the favouritism shown to kin group members as could be seen from the principle of segmentary opposition among the Tiv of Nigeria (Bohannan 1969) or Nuer of Southern Sudan (Evans-Pritchard 1940).
