And so you should. You've just joined one of the largest, wildest animal populations in the world. Wildebeest, monkey, antelope, lion, cheetah, crocodile, gazelle, flamingo - they're all out there. An economically poor country troubled by rowdy neighbours and opportunistic colonial powers, Tanzania offers some of the best wildlife spotting opportunities on the continent. Its famous parks make many drab towns here well worth the stopover.

The island of Madagascar lies directly east, 400km (250mi) across the Mozambique Channel. The coastal plain, as wide as 200km (125mi) in the south, rises to mountains and plateaux in the north and west. Two of Southern Africa's longest rivers, the Zambezi and the Limpopo, flow through the country. Other major rivers are the Save and the Rovuma (which forms the northern border with Tanzania). Massive Lake Malawi (also called Lake Nyasa) forms part of the border with Malawi.

ATA History Africa's Second IIPT/ATA Peace Through Tourism Conference - Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Dec. 7-12 Specific Details to come About Dar es Salaam Excerpt from,"A Couple of Days in Dar es Salaam" by Henry Pelham Burn. Planning a trip to Tanzania for September, my travel agent seemed alarmed that I'd be "stuck" in Dar es Salaam for two days. She suggested a day trip to Mafia Island to solve the problem. Since small planes make me nervous, this idea was a non-starter. So I resigned myself to Dar, a city mainly depicted to me as a place to go through rather than to. As it turned out, a couple of days in Dar proved not long enough. Here are some of the things that happily filled my days. KARIOKOO MARKET When the thrill of lolling around a pool with your fellow tourists sipping passion fruit juice wears thin, KARIOKOO MARKET is the place to go, to mingle with the wananchi ("citizens")and lose yourself among the myriad stalls. You may not be tempted to buy a sack of rice or a dried fish or an old pair of jeans, but you can sharpen your wits and get some good dialogue going, particularly if you muster a little Swahili.

We have several barriers to meeting this challenge. But God is providing a way to meet them. Language - With over 6,500 languages the task seems impossible. Each aspect of a language poses a unique set of problems. This confines us to producing material by population size. Spoken Language - There is a problem with dialects, pronounciation and the availability of qualified people to teach the gospel. Also, a single written word can have several meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce the word.

Extractions: A five page paper looking at the challenge of the modernization of Africa as discussed by Manthia Diawara in his "In Search of Africa" and Kwarme Anthony Appiah in "In My Father's House." The paper concludes that while Diawara advocates Westernizing the African continent and its people, Appiah celebrates its uniquely African voice. No additional sources. A 6 page discussion of the continued importance of Africa culture and ideology to African Americans. To these people Africa was, and will continue to be a continual theme in their culture and even their perceptions of themselves. It was the underlying commonality of their Africanness which pulled African Americans one of the most turbulent times of their history, the time of slavery. It is this same underlying theme of Africanness which continues to consolidate the African Americans and which allows them to resist total assimilation into white culture. Some suggests that the creation of Africa-centered schools would be a positive factor in the welfare of contemporary Black Americans. While the ideology and culture of Africa is something which should continue to be stressed into our future, however, the segregation of black from white in the form of Africa-centered schools would only be a regress into our past.

Extractions: Pots in Zulu Symbolism Traditional Zulu cosmology and social life balance the roles of men and women. A patrilineal society, it is the male ancestors who dominate the household and draw the line back to the point of origin, in the heavens. The Zulu take their name from the sky, and it there that the Sky-Lord lives, Mvelinqangi, the Creator who rules the lightning that can destroy. His twin and wife is the earth, which nourishes and sustains. The world of men centers around the cattle. The cattle kraal, or corral, is the focal point for the male ancestors. Wives are "bought" with cattle from this kraal; in return wives perpetuate the family and provide daughters whose bride-prices replenish the herd and pay for their brothers' marriages. Taboos circumscribe women's contact both with their husbands' ancestors and to cattle, which relegates women's roles to the fields and the hearth. Women are closely associated with the earth, from which they alone make pots. The Zulu goddess, Nkosozana presided over the growth of crops, which women cultivated, and she taught women to make beer; her cult, known as uNomdede, has been revived recently, as have annual First Fruit ceremonies, presided over by the king. The ancestors also take keen interest in fertility, and in conception and the cycle of life and death itself. Indeed, fertility is one of the blessings that ancestors bestow. Pots illustrate this symbolism in several ways, as does beer, made of sorghum and millet, which forms a vital medium of communion with the ancestors.
