Welcome Papers African/indigenous philosophies: Legitimizing Spiritually-centred wisdoms within the academy Ivy Goduka, Central Michigan University Back Up Conclusion As I conclude this journey, I would like to emphasize two major points. First, I caution the reader to appreciate the limitations of writing such an important piece of work. Alas! Only some of the many facets of indigenous philosophies can be discussed in such a short space of time and place without compromising the rich and varied body of spiritually-centred wisdom thriving in indigenous thought. Therefore, indigenous learners and scholars in Africa and around the globe are challenged to engage in extensive research and writing to legitimize indigenous epistemologies in the library, classroom, and wherever other knowledges, sciences and technologies are in existence. Such cultures and experiences have been devalued and denigrated in the academy; even worse, they have been treated as if they never existed. As we enter the next millennium, there is growing anger among indigenes and a desire to engage in what Amadiume (1997) terms

AAMCT Advisory Board ABOUT PATRIENSA Patriensa is one of the 26 villages/towns within the Asante Akim district. The district itself measures approximately 100,000 square Kilometers, with about 140,000 The village has an agrarian economy with about 74% of the population working in the agricultural sector. The incomes of the people are very limited since most of the crops grown are for local consumption. The illiteracy rate is high, and unemployment rate is very high. Access to health services is very limited at the village. Currently, there is no health facility at the village. View Videos On August 4, 2001, the village launched the first solar-powered telecentre, the Asante Akim Multipurpose Community Telecentre (AAMCT), in Ghana. With the launch of a business partnership and the opening of the AAMCT, this Ashanti village has now been transformed into a 21st century community in the midst of Africa. In conjunction with The Greenstar Corporation, who funded the solar installation, the people of the village have also begun the digitization of the village's art, music and other cultural assets in a novel investment in Ghana's future.

Pan-African Resource Project The Pan African Resource Project is pleased to announce that we are accepting campus booking for our Fall Academic Term 2001 Pan African University Lecture series. We can provide you the opportunity to book progressive, insightful speakers, with first hand knowledge of the struggles for justice and development in Africa, the Caribbean and North America (USA and Canada). Included among our speakers are history makers such as Sister Teodora Gomes of the struggle in Guinea-Bissau, Brother Ismael Rashid from Sierra Leone and many others. (Contact us for a complete list. See contact list below for the rep in your area.) We urge your group to sponsor a presenters from the Pan African University Lecture series on your campus, it could well be your organizing advantage. Undoubtedly, as college students, you have been exposed to mainstream ideas of the existing social order that are communicated to you in the classroom; at programs where special guests have been invited to speak; in textbooks and in official socio-cultural activities. These ideas are used to shape and mold your opinion about the problems and solutions confronting Africans and the other oppressed peoples of the world. However, history teaches us clearly that these ideas and perspectives emanating from the existing social order were not the source of inspiration for great leaders such as: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ahmed Sekou Toure, Omowale Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Dr. W.E.B. DuBois; and so many others. Quite to the contrary, these great leaders were motivated by ideas that were a direct challenge to and came from outside the prevailing social order. This is wholly logical considering that African people have been struggling for freedom from the so-called "accepted social order" for over 500 years.

AFRICA'S HISTORY Dr. Gloria T.Emeagwali Professor of History and African Studies, Central Connecticut State University. MAIN SITE: www.africahistory.net This site is best viewed with EXPLORER Northeast Africa is the cradle of African civilization. Note the Legacy of Africa and the antiquity of Olduvai, Northern Tanzania. We must also take into account The Ishango Complex of East-Central Africa and several sites in Southern Africa and other parts of the continent. Africa's oldest boat has been found in Ancient Nigeria and this is about 8000 years old. Multiregional and uniregional theories of human origins point to Africa as the birthplace of humanity. Several molecular biologists and paleontologists confirm this to date. The evidence so far implies that the first humans in the world (homo sapiens) emerged in Africa about 200,000 years ago and migrated to the various continents much later-perhaps as recent as 45,000 years ago in the case of migration to Europe. Recent fossil finds suggest that the world's earliest hominids lived approximately 6 million years before that in Kenya. We note also the 4 million year old fossils of Dinknesh (Lucy) and her descendants and the 1996 discovery in Southern Ethiopia of stone tools 2.5 million years old. The Kenyan -Ethiopian- Tanzanian region is perhaps the birthplace of modern humans, subject to new finds.Note also that several religions do not accept this view on human origins. Ancient Africans migrated within Africa, vertically and horizontally, as well as OUT OF AFRICA to populate the world. For views on the African and Afro-Pacific (Afro-Australian) origins of some Ancient Americans such as the Ancient Brazilians see Dr.Walter Neves,University of Sao Paolo, Brazil (BBC Homepage: Thursday August 26, 1999).

His forthcoming novel, The Beast in Man k.asante-darko@nul.ls Language and Culture in African Postcolonial Literature 1. Post-colonial literature is a synthesis of protest and imitation. It blends revolt and conciliation. This duality permeates its stratagem, its style, and its themes in a manner that is not always readily perceptible to critics. This has practical didactic implications for the contemporary literary endeavor in Africa. The central concern of this article is to assess the extent to which African protest literature seems to have imitated European and colonial literary discourse in matters such as thematic concerns, aesthetics, and methodology. The relationship of imitation, exchange, and hybridity is presented with the view to highlighting the thematic, methodological, and aesthetic differences between some aspects of African literature on one hand and the Western literary tradition on the other.
