Extractions: Traditional western dance forms of ballet, jazz, tap and hip-hop are fairly standard on television and in other media. The dance forms of indigenous peoples are relatively infrequent subjects for the mass media and are rarely presented as a universal, cross-cultural phenomenon. When presented in this fashion, dance can serve as a 'cultural mirror' for students concerning their own ethnic diversity, helping them honor each other's unique cultural make-up. Gusti Ayu Sri Armini started at age eight in her native village of Ubad, Bali. Trained in both the Peliatan and Den Parsar Styles, Ayu is a featured soloist with the Sanggha Semara Ratih (a worid-famous gamelan ensemble of Balinese dancers and musicians). Ayu has more than eleven dances in her teaching and performing repertory, including: Pendet, Legong, Cendrawasih, Teruna Jaya and Oleg Tambulilingan. Because of Ayu's pure dance style and technique, the Indonesian consulate hand selected her to come to New York to represent her country's rich cultural dance tradition. Ayu is currently a guest artist and teacher with BALAM DANCE THEATRE in New York City.

Extractions: What Arab Civilization? This letter was sent to Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard Corporation, in response to a speech given by her on September 26, 2001. November 7, 2001 Carly Fiorina Hewlett-Packard 3000 Hanover Street Palo Alto, CA 94304-1185 Dear Madame Fiorina: It is with great interest that I read your speech delivered on September 26, 2001, titled "Technology, Business and Our way of Life: What's Next" [sic]. I was particularly interested in the story you told at the end of your speech, about the Arab/Muslim civilization. As an Assyrian, a non-Arab, Christian native of the Middle East, whose ancestors reach back to 5000 B.C., I wish to clarify some points you made in this little story, and to alert you to the dangers of unwittingly being drawn into the Arabist/Islamist ideology, which seeks to assimilate all cultures and religions into the Arab/Islamic fold. I know you are a very busy woman, but please find ten minutes to read what follows, as it is a perspective that you will not likely get from anywhere else. I will answer some of the specific points you made in your speech, then conclude with a brief perspective on this Arabist/Islamist ideology. Arabs and Muslims appeared on the world scene in 630 A.D., when the armies of Muhammad began their conquest of the Middle East. We should be very clear that this was a military conquest, not a missionary enterprise, and through the use of force, authorized by a declaration of a Jihad against infidels, Arabs/Muslims were able to forcibly convert and assimilate non-Arabs and non-Mulsims into their fold. Very few indigenous communities of the Middle East survived this primarily Assyrians, Jews, Armenians and Coptics (of Egypt).

Extractions: Heartless Monkey Knife P urpose of the book: This is a book about fighting with the common knife as the primary weapon. A common knife is less than six inches in the blade and three to four inches is more common. It may be a fixed blade or a folding knife. Your "Primary weapon" is the first means with which you meet the worlds hazards. In many martial arts philosophy, the body is the sole or primary weapon. While that position may be available to hearty and robust individuals, it is not available to all. The use of a weapon is the great equalizer between practitioner and opponent; as well as useful with vicious animals, mobs, insane persons The nature of the arts redeeming healthful qualities is seductive to many practitioners. It is the nature of the personal confidence in threatening situations and the spiritual uplifting of the practice that is seductive to the spiritual practitioners. Certainly the body is the carrier of the weapon; it is the body at hazard and the body in defense. The training of the body gives greater health and a longer time to enjoy that health. The training of the body will allow the practitioner to present and manipulate the weapon with greater facility. This is an intellectual trap leading to false assumptions. While the foregoing statements are valid, they do not tell the entire story.

The old man stops in front of two elaborately carved wooden posts that embody the spirits of his dead brothers. Strips of blue, red and white cloth, tied around the neck of the abstract human forms, sway in the wind. Udvardy lifts the camera to her eye, unaware that this click of the shutter will bring about her transformation from anthropologist to crusader against global traffic in East African "art." This transformation does not happen overnight. It is a long journey, with stops along the way in Africa, where she conducts firsthand research on gender roles, in University of Kentucky classrooms, where she teaches 400 students each fall, and at professional conferences, where she presents the results of her research. It was at one such conference in 1999 that Udvardy had her eureka moment. orn in Canada, to Finnish-Swedish and Hungarian parents, Udvardy grew up speaking Swedish. So after getting her master's in anthropology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, a move to Sweden just made sense. "Sweden gives most of their developmental aid to African nations, so there are strong historical ties," says Udvardy, who was a doctoral student at Uppsala University in Sweden in 1985. "That was the primary reason I chose Africa."

Approximately 170,000 acres are proposed for chopping, 70% of which would come from the Mau Forest near the Great Rift Valley. The Mau forest is inhabited by the Ogiek indigenous honey-hunter tribes who collect honey from deadly wasp nests that hang many metres above the ground.

Extractions: IMPERIALISM: An Angel from Heaven or A Devil from Hell? Trung Hoang the most powerful force in world history over the last four or five centuries, carving up whole continents while oppressing indigenous peoples and obliterating entire civilizations. . . . [is] the process whereby the dominant politico-economic interests of one nation expropriate for their own enrichment the land, labor, raw materials, and markets of another people. (1) What is Imperialism? Imperialism is defined in the encyclopedia as the extension of rule or influence by one government, nation, or society over another. Most imperialists claim that imperializing third world countries will enable them to be modernized and improve their development. However, most of imperialist forces were motivated by hidden agendas, such as to gain cheap labor, new territories, and, most importantly, raw materials. Is it true that the people from the underdeveloped countries are really underdeveloped? Will these people soon be extinct without the aid of the imperialists, or will they sink into chaos and poverty? According to Michael Parenti "people in third world countries do not need to be taught how to farm. They need the land and the implements to farm. They do not need to be taught how to fish. They need the boats and the nets and access to shore frontage, bays, and oceans. . . . They need to be given back their land and labor so that they might work for themselves and grow food for their own consumption."
