Extractions: Dedication This monograph is dedicated to the following individuals and groups. To our ancestors who, through the numerosity of their oral and written words, taught us a lot about life and nature. They called humans mma ndu, beauty of life, and taught us to appreciate the goodness humans embody as well as love of self, family, and community. Numerous other positive legacies they left us, values which reinforce and stabilize our culture, are embodied in principles or sayings of wisdom, including ezi okwu bu ndu, true word is life; ofo na ogu, the emblem of authority for the signification of righteousness; egbe belu ugo belu, live and let live and the norm of equity; and odi bendi, the norm of deference to other peoples practices and ways of life. To the memory of the 5 million Igbos of all age and gender, soldiers as well as civilians, who lost their lives defending Igboland against the genocidal war imposed upon us by the government of Nigeria and its foreign allies in evilness.

Extractions: The Osu Caste System in Igboland: Discrimination Based on Descent By Victor E. Dike Vdike@cwnet.com [GENEVA] A Paper Presented to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) Sixty-first session 8-9 August 2002 Therefore, this paper discusses the Osu caste system, an indigenous religious belief system, practiced within the Igbo nation, with the purpose of bringing the discriminatory, dehumanizing and obnoxious Osu caste system to the attention of the international community. Thematic Discussion on Discrimination on the Ground of Descent Introduction The Igbos are found mostly in the Southeastern and South-central Nigeria called Igboland or Igbo society (Alaigbo or Anaigbo). By the late 20 th century the population of the Igbos are about 27 million. The majority of the Igbos are Christians, but some of them practice the indigenous traditional religion, whose major tenets are shared by all Igbo-speaking people of Nigeria (Uchendu 1965). The traditional religion is passed on to succeeding generations, but the advent of Christianity in Igboland around 1885 had some influence on the traditional beliefs (Talbot 1969). The indigenous traditionalists believe in the earth goddess, deities and ancestral spirits and in a Creator-God, Chukwu, Obasi, Chi, or Chineke, the Supreme God (Achebe 1959). The Igbo traditional beliefs have some positive influence on the culture and social lives of the people. For instance, the forefathers of the Igbos were known for their righteousness, honesty and hard work. And they were opinion leaders, impartial judges and people of impeccable character.
Extractions: Brian Kenny That volume of production, and the great geographical and disciplinary range which it covers, indicate broad faculty and graduate student interest in the continent and its affairs. They also bear testimony to the high degree of professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment of the compiler of this record, Yvette Scheven, our Africana bibliographer, midwife to so many of these entries and a mainstay of the program and the center since its inception. -Donald Crummey University of Illinois Most of the titles in this bibliography were obtained by consulting files in the University Library, the Center for African Studies, and the Graduate Office and departmental offices. While I did all the work of compilation for the first edition, the checking for this second edition was begun by Rachel Friedlander Tickner, and her painstaking work was later ably updated by Shumet Sishagne and Brian Kenny, all graduate students.

Extractions: (no images shown) I now have 709 African art slides. Of these 542 are African (incl. Egypt-Nubian), 117 Egyptian (non-Nubian), and 47 African American introduction slides. This page lists the African, Egypt-Nubian, African American introduction, and a few of Western art influenced by African art. This page does not list my Egyptian non-Nubian slides, and additional African American and African European slides, which are on different lists. In addition to the above slides, I show additional works or art on the 20 videotapes I have on African art and related culture, and art processes. The timeframes of these tapes range from approximately 15 to 90 minutes. I plan to write a Web page of notes on these tapes. In teaching African art, I use all or part of these slides, videotapes, and other materials, depending on the nature and purpose of the course, and the course's place in the institution's curriculum. This list divides the continent into three geographic divisions, North, East and Southern, West, and Central. Each division is subdivided by traditional, crafts, and neo-African art as recent as 1999. The list concludes with African-influenced art and crafts, and an introduction to African American art if the latter is appropriate. Use your Web browser's search engine to find a specific artist, title of work, type of art, people, culture, society, town, country, or continental division.
Extractions: Forests (and uncultivated trees) provide important sources of income to many rural people in the West African forest zone. Forest products such as bushmeat and fuelwood are gathered and traded at local and regional markets and are generally destined for urban consumers. Forests also provide the raw materials for artisan and processing activities. Forest products are traded in both local and urban markets, and are sold to meet both rural and urban consumer needs. There are no studies which assess the socio-economic importance of the non-timber forest product trade to rural households and communities, and there are also no studies which evaluate the importance of this trade to regional economies. There are a few studies which focus on the income earned from gathering of forest products. Thus, the following discussion focuses largely on marketing. Trees and forests provide many different forms of food: a. fruit
Extractions: "Affinities of Form: Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas" is as much a fascinating study of the art of collecting as it is of the objects themselves. Indiana University of Art Museum houses one of the finest collections of indigenous art in the world- the product of the Wielguses' diligent and painstaking acquisition over a period of just twenty years. The photograhy of these rare and beautiful objects is breathtaking. "Affinties of Form: Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas" examines the notives that led Raymond Wielgus to become a collecter that guided him into his chosen field. Wielgus originally made his name as a maker of high-quality prototype models for his potential new products in the manufacturing industry, and the book shows how the very special experience he gained in this profession modeled his view of the art of collecting. It lists the criteria he applied to the objects to be included in... read more
