Extractions: Since 1994, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been devastated by ethnic strife and civil war, touched off by a massive inflow of refugees from the fighting in Rwanda and Burundi. First, there was the rebelion against Mobutu Sese Seko in May 1997, led by Laurent Kabila, who became leader. He was almost immediately challenged by the insurgents from Rwanda and Burundi in August, 1998. Troops from many parts of Africa tried to help the Kabila regime, and a cease-fire was signed on July 10, 1999. Fighting continued, however, and resulted in the assassination of Kabila in January, 2001. Laurent's son Joseph became head of state, and has attempted to quell the unrest but, as of this narrative, the chaos and bloodshed are still going virtually unchecked, and everyday the death toll rises.

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.

The focus of the paper is the classification of languages in Zambia, but it also draws examples from Malawi, particularly regarding Chinyanja and Chitumbuka. The gist of the paper is to argue that the classifications of languages are inadequate because they do not show the relative relationship or affinity between the languages.

Extractions: Current issues: Marxist MPLA troops invaded Cabinda via Point Noire in 11 November 1975. Cabinda was a Portuguese Protectorate since the signing of the Treaty of Simulambuco in 1885, and became known as the Portuguese Congo. Marxist MPLA troops from Angola are still occupying Cabinda. The American Oil Company Chevron is participating along side the invaders in raping and murdering the Cabindan people. We live in misery because of the greed of an American Oil Company, acting like this America will certainly make a lot of friends in Africa. The Republic of Cabinda was never legally integrated into angola after the end of the portuguese presence in 1975.

The paper analyses certain contributions made in Andalusia and the Maghreb to the theme of figurate numbers. These numbers are a geometrical representation of numbers and had been created by the Pythagorean School. The oldest known study of these numbers is found in the "Introduction to Arithmetic" by Nicomachus. A Arabic translation of this work circulated in Andalusia and in the Maghreb from the 10th century onwards. #299 Djebbar, Ahmed:

PUBLICATIONS Mbira Sanza Introduction The mbira or thumb piano is a percussion instrument of African origin. It consists of a wooden board or box with strips of metal or wood attached in such a way that the player's thumbs or fingers can pluck the metal strips to produce a rhythmic melody. Mbira are made from an assortment of materials, such as wood, metal gas and insecticide cans, gourds and coconut shells, and in a great variety of sizes, shapes and types, and they exist as acoustic or electric instruments. The number of traditional African types alone would take an entire book to detail, and a diverse assortment of these instruments can be found in the Western world as well. Sanza of Collin Walcott Nomenclature mbira kalimba or sanza may appear, but it is more often used as an exotic name than as an identifier of a specific African instrument. Although the term "
BANTU LANGUAGES is a somewhat archaic Bantu dialect, indigenous probably to 6. There are colonies of Swahilispeaking people at Mombasa as Ba-kama, Ba-nyanga, Ma-yombe, Ba-vhf http://55.1911encyclopedia.org/B/BA/BANTU_LANGUAGES.htm
Extractions: BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 2 From this statement are excepted those tongues classified as semi-Bantu. In some languages of the Lower Niger and of the Gold Coast the word for fowl is generally traceable to a root kuba. This form kuba also enters the Cameroon region, where it exists alongside of -koko. Kuba may have arisen independently, or have been derived from the Bantu kuku. etymology of word-roots is concerned. Further evidence of slight etymological and even grammatical relationships may be traced as far west as the lower Niger and northern and western Gold Coast languages (and, in some word-roots, the Mandingo group). The Fula language would offer some grammatical resemblance if its suffixes were turned into prefixes (a change which has actually taken place in the reverse direction in the English language between its former Teutonic and its modern Romanized conditions; cf. offset and set-off, upstanding and standing-up ). The legends and traditions of the Bantu peoples themselves invariably point to a northern origin, and a period, not wholly removed from their racial remembrance, when they were strangers in their present lands. Seemingly the Bantu, somewhat early in their migration down the east coast, took to the sea, and not merely occupied the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar, but travelled as far afield as the Comoro archipelago and even the west coast of Madagascar. Their invasion of Madagascar must have been fairly considerable in numbers, and they doubtless gave rise to the race of black people known traditionally to the Hovas as the. Va-zimba.

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.
