Extractions: Central Sulawesi is a mountainous province sandwiched between the wealthier south and north of the irregularly shaped island. Poso is one of the province's eight districts, several of which were established in 2002. The capital of Poso district, the town of Poso is situated on the gulf, a six-hour drive southeast from the much larger provincial capital of Palu. Poso district has a primarily Muslim population in the cities and coastal villages, and an indigenous Protestant majority in the uplands. Dutch missionary activity began at the turn of the twentieth century, and members of the Central Sulawesi Christian Church (Gereja Kristen Sulawesi Tengah, GKST) make up the majority of the interior of the district. In addition to indigenous Muslims, there are many migrants from South Sulawesi, known as Bugis or Buginese, and from the Gorontalo region to the north. There is also a long tradition of Arab traders settling in the region, and their descendents play an important role in Muslim religious and educational institutions. The district also includes villages built under the government transmigration program, which brought in residents from densely populated areas, such as the primarily Muslim islands of Java and Lombok, and the Hindu island of Bali. The Muslim community is thus made up of indigenous people, official transmigrants, and economic migrants of numerous ethnicities. Many migrants have lived in the district for decades. Muslims attained a majority in Poso district by the late 1990s, and now top 60 percent, according to government figures.

Extractions: After taking office in June, India s new United Front government made several gestures that marked a change from previous governments human rights policies, such as vowing to sign the United Nations Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and allowing a visit by Amnesty International in July. However, it was not clear whether the government was prepared to address longstanding human rights concerns ranging from police abuse to bonded child labor. India also maintained its reputation as one of the most dangerous places in the world for human rights activists. The detention and subsequent murder of human rights activist Jalil Andrabi in Kashmir in March and the shooting death of Assamese activist Parag Das in May exposed the security forces use of irregular militias to carry out abuses. By November, no one had been prosecuted in either murder. Human rights and environmental groups also came under increasing attack for their efforts to organize protests against large-scale development projects. The tumultuous mid-year election that ousted the Congress government of Narasimha Rao resulted in a hung parliament and gave the Hindu-nationalist Indian People s Party (Bharatiya Janata Party, best known by its initials, BJP) its first opportunity to form a national government. After failing to win the support of any other party, the BJP lost a vote of confidence after only eleven days in office. On June 1 a coalition United Front government of left and regional parties assumed office and H.D. Deve Gowda became prime minister.

Introduction and research problem. This M.A. thesis is based on field research done in Indonesia from August until early December 1996. During classes that I took in the previous years I became interested in the island Siberut. Siberut is the largest of the Mentawai Island situated approximately a hundred kilometres to the south-west of Padang, the capital of the province of West Sumatra. It is approximately 4,480 square kilometres wide, covered with tropical rainforest, and rather hilly. Rain falls almost every day causing large parts of the island to be swampy which makes travelling through the jungle on foot quite difficult. The island is interwoven by many rivers which form the main infrastructure. It is populated by about 22,000 Mentawaians and about 2,000 Minangkabau from nearby Sumatra, and smaller numbers of other groups such as Batak and Niassans. Two of my professors, who have also done research on Siberut, told me about the tourism that had recently started to develop. Some groups deep in the heartland of the island have become the focus of organized tours from Sumatra. Minangkabau tour guides pick up tourists in Bukittinggi and take them by ferry to Siberut where they travel for about a week before returning to Sumatra

Extractions: (of variable age, artistic quality, and degree of authenticity) Many African societies see masks as mediators between the living world and the supernatural world of the dead, ancestors and other entities. Masks became and still become the attribute of a dressed up dancer who gave it life and word at the time of ceremonies. The sculptor begins by cutting a piece of wood and leaving it to dry in the sun; if it cracks, it cannot be used for a mask. African sculptors see wood as a complex living material and believe each piece can add its own feature to their work. Having made certain the wood is suitable, the sculptor begins, using an azde to carve the main features, a chisel to work on details and a rough leaf to sand the piece.

Extractions: AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA [a work in progress] Presented to the Canadian Theological Society May 25, 2001 by Ian D. Ritchie, Ph.D. St. John's Anglican Church, 41 Church St., Kingston, ON., K7M 1H2 The paper assesses the role played by African theologians in advancing the status of women in Africa. The perception (common in western church circles) of the African church as a bastion of conservatism and patriarchy will be examined critically. Starting with a brief overview of gender in precolonial Africa, moving to an analysis of the influence of mission Christianity and the African Initiated Churches, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the influence of African theologians. The conclusion that Christianity may be moving African women towards equality more rapidly than in western societies speaks of a positive relationship between academic theology, church and society.[ An earlier version of this article formed a chapter of the author's 1993 doctoral dissertation, African Theology and Social Change.

Extractions: Abstract This article examines the perceptions of danger and disease among the Muslim Hadendowa of eastern Sudan as they underline their conceptualization of "foreignness" and its threat to fertility and procreation. By using "foreignness" as a double-edged category of power and danger, I demonstrate how ideas about the body and its state of sickness and health are expressed through idioms of "contested moralities" to delineate cultural constructions of gender, honor, identity, and regeneration in the face of increasing mobility, marginality, and social change. The article goes beyond the symbolic of embodiment and social boundaries to situate Hadendowa's perceptions of danger and disease in their histories of interactions with different forms of national and international powers.
