Africa An urban swahili culture developed through mutual assimilation of is that more advanced Kushite peoples from the highlands came to dominate the indigenous Bantu http://www.emayzine.com/lectures/africa3a.html
Extractions: Africa Some 5 million years ago a type of hominid, a close evolutionary ancestor of present-day humans, inhabited southern and eastern Africa. More than 1.5 million years ago this toolmaking hominid developed into the more advanced forms Homo habilis and Homo erectus. The earliest true human being in Africa, Homo sapiens, dates from more than 200,000 years ago. A hunter-gatherer capable of making crude stone tools, Homo sapiens banded together with others to form nomadic groups; eventually these nomadic San peoples spread throughout the African continent. Distinct races date from approximately 10,000 BC. Gradually a growing Negroid population, which had mastered animal domestication and agriculture, forced the San groups into the less hospitable areas. In the 1st century AD the Bantu, one group of this dominant people, began a migration that lasted some 2000 years, settling most of central and southern Africa. Negroid societies typically depended on subsistence agriculture or, in the savannas, pastoral pursuits. Political organization was normally local, although large kingdoms would later develop in western and central Africa. see Aksum, Kingdom of

Extractions: Returning to Africa's Roots/Modernizing the Indigenous George B.N. Ayittey All Africa needs to do is to return to its roots and build on and modernize its own indigenous institutions. There is now a greater awareness of the need to reexamine Africa's own heritage. Return to traditional institutions will ensure not only peace but stability as well: In Mali each existing ethnic group is recognized for its distinct heritage. "Ethnicity cannot be manipulated in this society," said educator Lalla Ben Barkar. "The people may be from the north or the south, but in the end they realize they are one nation, and that is Mali" (The Washington Post, 24 March 1996, A28). Carl M. Peterson and Daniel T. Barkely offered a reason why Somalia imploded: The previous government [Siad Barre's] failed to incorporate the institutional aspects of Somalia's indigenous culture into a functioning national body. [Therefore] a stable, viable and fair political system must comprise the essential characteristics of Somalia's complex society. This means revitalizing indigenous institutions, restoring traditional powers and giving clans a legitimate outlet for political expression. (New African, June 1993, 20). E. F. Kolajo of Thoyandou, South Africa, concurred: "The Japanese, Chinese, and Indians still maintain their roots, and they are thriving as nations. Africa embraces foreign cultures at the expense of its own, and this is why nothing seems to work for us" (New African, February 1995, 4). In fact, according to The Bangkok Post, "Japan's postwar success has demonstrated that modernization does not mean Westernization. Japan has modernized spectacularly, yet remains utterly different from the West. Economic success in Japan has nothing to do with individualism. It is the fruit of sheer discipline the ability to work in groups and to conform" (cited by The Washington Times, 9 November 1996, A8).

Common Myths About Africa Persians and Arabs among the swahili of East africa, Arabs in North africa, or Indonesians the population consists of indigenous peoples (Native Americans http://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~plarson/syllabi/121/myths/text.htm
Extractions: Myths about Africa, Africans, and African History: The Student's "Ten Commandments" Introduction. Many of the ten myths referred to below have become "common knowledge" and widely accepted in American society, in both Black and White communities. It is necessary to discuss and unlearn them before we proceed with learning new things about Africa. Because unlearning these popular myths is very important for learning new things about Africa, I call them the student's "Ten Commandments." Knowing that these myths are wrong should be your foundational knowledge about Africa, its peoples and history. Myth One. Africa has no ancient cultures, histories or civilizations and has therefore made no meaningful contributions to world history. Subsidiary to this, the values that Westerners hold dear today like political freedom and democracy had and have no tradition or history in Africa.
Extractions: var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Are kanaka maoli indigenous to Hawai'i? Would the status of being indigenous give them special rights? Are kanaka maoli indigenous to Hawai'i? Do they have a special relationship to the land of Hawai'i that is different from any actual or possible relationship which non-kanaka maoli might have with the land? Anthropological research suggests that the Polynesian islands were settled by people originating from Asia, spreading through the south Pacific, and arriving in Hawai'i very late in the process. Clearly Marquesas and Tahiti were settled long before Hawai'i. But China, Africa, and even the Americas had indigenous peoples living in those places for many thousands of years before anyone ventured into any of the Polynesian islands. So, among the peoples of the world, Polynesians have one of the shortest tenures in their so-called indigenous area. And within the Polynesian triangle, Hawai'i is one of the most recently settled island groups. Kanaka maoli have ancestors whose bones have been in the land of Hawai'i for hundreds of years. But millions of Americans have ancestors whose bones have been in the land of England for many centuries, and that does not give those Americans political rights in England. Indeed, some kanaka maoli have more English blood than they have kanaka maoli blood, and more ancestral English bones in the land of England for more centuries than they have ancestral kanaka maoili bones in the land of Hawai'i. Where the bones are does not determine either indigenous status or political rights.
Who Are Then Are The Swahili? The word swahili comes from the Arabic word sawahil the Waswahili have been the indigenous people of the eastern seaboard of africa stretching from the http://www.waswahilitrust.plus.com/pages/who are then are the waswahili.htm
Extractions: (Wadhamini wa jumuiya ya Waswahili) "The Swahili are among the most distinctive peoples in Africa, and their coastal location is the primary reason why. It provided a setting where multiple cultural influences came together to produce a society characterized by: mercantilism based on Indian Ocean trade; town dwelling; a unique architecture using coral and stone; Islam; literacy in an African language with an Arabic script; a sense of belonging to a wider civilization; and social stratification, with ruling elites who stress their Persian and Arab lineages. Influences from southwestern Asia have clearly been significant to Swahili identity, but it is equally obvious that the Asian elements are essentially a veneer glued onto a solid Bantu African framework." James L. Newman in his recent book called THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA (Yale University Press, 1995 P. 177) The Bantu peoples are many and varied and exist in different clusters of fairly closely related tribes. According to Newman, the Swahilis constituted part of the Sabaki cluster of Northeast Coast Bantu that had formed in the Lower Tana River-Lamu Archipelago. From the original Sabaki who lived in small coastal or offshore-island villages where they could both fish and farm, some Sabaki took up a trading activity with merchants from the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf. This trade has by all accounts been going on for at least some 2000 years.
People Of Kenya has become the most extended indigenous language in Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South africa. what we call the swahili people is really a http://kenya.com/people/people_002.htm
Extractions: Swahili or Kiswahili has become the most extended indigenous language in Africa, with some 50 million speakers. Currently it is the official and national language in Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda it is the national language, since official communications and administration use English. Thanks to the relationships of the East African countries with the neighboring countries, Swahili is also spoken in some regions of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South Africa. The name of this language has its origin in sâhils-awâhil Dating the origins of Swahili is not an easy task. It seems clear that the language was spoken at the coast during the 13th century. Some authors propose a much more ancient origin: in his work "Journey through the Erithraean Sea", a greek trader named Diogene who visited the East African coast in the year 110 A.D. told that the arab traders who regularly sailed the coast talked to the natives in their local language, which could represent the first historical reference to Swahili.

Extractions: The remainder of the 18th century saw the Omani dynasties from the Persian Gulf dug in along the East African coast. The depredations of the Portuguese era and constant quarrels among the Arab governors caused a decline in trade and prosperity which meant that economic powerhouses such as Britain and Germany weren't interested in grabbing a slice of East Africa until about the mid-19th century.

Tools The Swahili word safari (literally, journey) wouldn't mean much to most people if it wasn't for this East African adventure land. Revered by anthropologists as the 'cradle of humanity', Kenya is also the heart of African safari country, boasting the most diverse collection of wild animals on the continent. And no matter how many Tarzan movies you've seen, nothing will prepare you for the annual mass migration of wildebeests. Unfortunately the wildlife isn't confined to the countryside: petty crime in Kenya's urban centres qualifies as one of the country's few growth industries. Since any encounter with the police is likely to end with money changing hands, you'd have less chance of being fleeced if you strapped a gazelle to your safari suit and went jogging among a pride of lions. Still, if you're a little bit brave - and a little bit sensible - Kenya promises the globe's most magnificent game parks, unsullied beaches, thriving coral reefs, memorable mountainscapes and ancient Swahili cities.
