Songhai Empire What do the people think about art What are their beliefs What are some masking trends today? Today, most of the population of Mali (estimated at 10,878,000 in 1995) is African. The major groups are the Bambara (the linguistic name for the Bamana and Bamakan people), Fulani (the English name for the Fulfulde or Peul groups), Soninka (which includes the Marka), Senoufo (the linguistic name for groups also referred to as "Senufo"), Songhai, Maninke (includes the Malinka and the Maninka), and the Dogon. Nomadic Tuaregs and other Berbers roam the Sahel and parts of the Sahara. In all, there are thirty-two languages listed for Mali, but French is the official language and Bambara is widely used. The Bambara are the largest cultural segment, but the Dogon (roughly 5% of the population) are world-renowned for their artwork and dance festivals (Grimes 1996; "Mali, Republic" 1998). The influence of the Bambara extends far beyond the areas that they inhabit. Art historians often include in discussion of the Bambara style the works of the Khassonke (of the Kassonke linguistic group- about 1% of the population of Mali), Malinke, Marka (of the Soninke group) and Minianka (the Minianka are of the Senoufo Mamara). Different variants of style cannot be easily identified from pieces that have been collected (Luezinger 1960, p. 76). While there are some distinctive differences, their sculpture was all in the hands of the Nuni (today called

Preservation of Art Background information on Africa Africa . Third Edition. Indiana: Indiana University Press. Martin and O'Meara (1995) dispel any misconceptions one might have about Africa today. They present the reader with an objective perspective on the problems facing Africans today: the diversity, the conflicts, and the changesall a result of Western interference. Africa, more that three times the size of the United States, includes fifty- three very diverse countries and a population of about 700 million people. Africans are divided not only by boundaries, which did not exist prior to colonization, but also by ethnic identities, class distinctions, urban and rural experiences, geographic barriers, and vast distances. Population varies widely (Gabon- one million; Nigeria- 115 million). Ways of life vary dramatically. Some live in cities and work in offices or skyscrapers, buy clothes from department stores and have all of the modern conveniences- yet may travel to the rural areas for traditional festivals, to see healers or to visit extended families. Rural community members may seldom visit the cities, may walk miles for water in the dry season, and listen to transistor radios as they welcome a relative back from graduate studies overseas.

Extractions: BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... BURKINA FASO Most of Burkina's people are concentrated in the south and center of the country, sometimes exceeding 48 per square kilometer (125/sq. mi.). This population density, high for Africa, causes annual migrations of hundreds of thousands of Burkinabe to Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana for seasonal agricultural work. A plurality of Burkinabe adhere to traditional African religions. The introduction of Islam to Burkina Faso was initially resisted by the Mossi rulers. Christians, predominantly Catholics, are largely concentrated among the urban elite.

While in Africa, she was based at Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya, where she facilitated the setting of Scripture to song in over 70 languages from peoples in 11 African and two Asian countries. At Fuller, King is now Associate Professor of Communication and Ethnomusicology. She also maintains her commitment to CBI, serving as an International Resource Specialist. Both positions allow her to expand her work in ethnomusicology beyond the African continent. A Vision of SONG: Dr. King at Fuller today (below). Survivors widowed in the horrors of 1994 in Rwanda find renewed joy in Christ at a workshop in Kigali, Rhwanda (above). With Russell G. Shubin Mission Frontiers: Why should the North American church be passionate about ethno-worship? Roberta King : The ultimate reason is that it is relevant to our culture today. It is relevant to the global world that we live in. We don't live in a monocultural situation, even in the States. It's becoming even more multicultural, as we see people coming from many different nations. In addition, in California, for example, we have numerous, large ethnic populations. Ethno-worship recognizes those people. It allows for the differences that are found within each of those people groupsbut it also allows Jesus Christ to remain the center focus.

Extractions: KwaMabaso is situated within the Msinga magisterial district. They have rich deposits of good quality clay, which might be a reason for the existence of a large number of women making pottery in comparison with the numbers from neighbouring chiefdoms. Active potters would make pots to sell every week. The women living in the Sompofu ward tend to sell their ware at the Tuesday pot market in Pomeroy, situated in the neighbouring Majozi chiefdom. Far fewer women from the Majozi chiefdom make pottery than from KwaMabaso. The potters living in the other three wards of KwaMabaso tend to sell their ware in Tugela Ferry on any day of the week that suits them, but especially during pension payout days. Ntembeni is situated within the Mtonjaneni district, with Melmoth as the main commercial and administrative town. The women of Ntembeni also have a rich tradition of making pottery, but only in certain areas. This might again have to do with the availability of good quality deposits of clay being near at hand. The potters make far more pots than are needed for their own household usage; they make to sell. Their main outlets are the two road side stalls at Ndundulu on the road between Eshowe and Melmoth, as well as the monthly pension payout days at Melmoth or at stores in their vicinity which act as payout points. They do not sell directly to the public at the roadside stalls but through the stall holders who are not necessarily potters.

Extractions: Contents IK Monitor 6(2) IKDM Homepage ikdm@nuffic.nl Learning local knowledge of soils: a focus on methodology by Deirdre M. Birmingham. There is little published literature on methods for studying local knowledge of soils. This scarcity is surprising, given that local knowledge is increasingly recognized as necessary for effective agricultural and rural development, and the livelihood of farmers. This article describes and analyzes the approach and methodologies used in recovering local knowledge of soil and land typologies among two ethnic groups in two different agroecological zones in West Africa. This analysis is of particular importance, as the manner in which research is carried out is critical to the quality and type of results obtained. Not only the results should be published, but also an analysis of the methods used, with a view to improving future research. I chose two villages in each of two agroecological zones, each inhabited by an ethnic group indigenous to that zone. In each of these four villages the West Africa Rice Development Association (WARDA), with whom I did this research, conducts village-level research on rice production systems. WARDA also participates in an agroecological characterization of inland valleys in West Africa. The use of these sites allowed me to compare my results with those of socioeconomic studies conducted by WARDA, and also with the findings of agroecological characterization (Windmeijer et al. 1994).
