    The goal of this course is to convey a sense of the cultural diversity of Africa, focusing on sub-Saharan Africa, while also highlighting cultural continuities. Because I have spent a year of anthropological fieldwork in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau, living among the Manjaco, much of our readings will focus on West Africa. We will focus on societies which participated in the transatlantic slave-trade and the impact of that trade on those societies. Students, however, will also be assigned to groups which will research and present material about Africans who live throughout the continent. What we will learn about the people of such societies and about the cultures that inform their world-views, we receive second-hand, largely through the writings of outsiders. In order to understand and make use of this material in the fullest possible sense, we must supply a cultural context for what motivated the creators of these written materials. Thus this course on African cultures is also, to a degree, a course on how certain, at times stereotyped, images of African culture cannot help but frame even the best of anthropological studies of African cultures. To highlight the deficiencies and strengths of such works, students will compare them to accounts written by African intellectuals.

    AFRICA'S PEOPLES
    A rich diversity of ancient and proud societies
    T here are strengths and weaknesses attached to the study of Africa through a focus on the continent's diverse and numerous peoples. The strengths are that the continent is reduced to a more manageable size, the diversity and the rich traditions of Africa's peoples are accentuated, and the similiarities and differences among peoples everywhere in the world can be identified and analyzed. Finally, a study of the particularities of discrete societies throughout the African continent cha llenges the misperception of Africa as an undifferentiated mass of peoples. The attendant weaknesses in this approach are that Africa's population of 735 million may be reduced to exotic images and stereotypes of one or another African society or they may remain frozen in the context of the particular historical period or geog raphic locale being studied. In the introdution to his book, The Shona and their Neighbours (Beach 1994), historian David Beach (University of Zimbabwe) clearly delineates the traps that can ensnare the unwary in a study of the peoples of Africa. H e takes, as just one example, the rock paintings and stone buildings for which inhabitants of the Zimbabwean plateau are reknowned. "From the standpoint of Shona studies," Beach points out, "[the paintings and buildings] have been both a blessing and a cu rse. On the one hand, the sheer beauty of the former attracted many of the minority of educated whites into the discipline of archaeology, but it also ensured that they devoted their attention to a period and people fairly remote from the [modern-day] Sho na and their recent neighbours." Clearly, as Beach suggests, the particularlities and generalities must be kept in proper balance at all times.

    Context A lbert Chinualumogu Achebe was born on November in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. Although he was the child of a Protestant missionary and received his early education in English, his upbringing was multicultural, as the inhabitants of Ogidi still lived according to many aspects of traditional Igbo (formerly written as Ibo) culture. Achebe attended the Government College in Umuahia from to . He graduated from University College, Ibadan, in . While he was in college, Achebe studied history and theology. He also developed his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures, and he rejected his Christian name, Albert, for his indigenous one, Chinua.

    A Review by Derrick Grose, October 20, 1999 . As Achebe describes the process in Arrow of God , they even imposed these structures where they did not exist. Unlike the Japanese who modernized within their own cultural structures after the Meiji Restoration in Japan in 1867 Africans experienced dispossession. The guardians of tradition became the agents of foreign domination and those who wanted to modernize their continent were relegated to the periphery as trouble-makers and, in later years, "Communists." There was no consideration of how an independent, modern African nation should be formed although the foundations for such a nation could have been discovered in African history. sunsum , soul or spirit, of the Asante nation. With this symbol came the development of the Constitution of 77 Laws. This political structure was sufficiently flexible to accommodate a period of expansion while enabling the population of Asante to "participate meaningfully and effectively in politics." (Davidson, 59) Non-Akan subject people retained their own identities (Davidson, 59) but all participated in the Odwira or National Yam Festival. At the same time a sort of representative assembly met reflecting a systemic distrust of power which was "used and abused" in Asante as in other countries. This nation was not unresponsive to "marginal advantage" and resistant to change but it was denied the opportunity to evolve by the disruptions of the slave trade and eventual colonial absorption. There was a rising

    Nation-building and Post-colonial Dilemmas in Africa
    Post-colonial nation-building patterns vary across Africa, due in some large part to the fact that Europeans practiced several forms of colonialism, and each left its own particular legacy. The most important paradoxical legacy of the British style of colonialism was that it called into being a "national" consciousness shaped by the international boundaries of European domination of the "Nigerian" or "Ghanaian" or "Kenyan" (etc.) colonies, while the colonial practice of "indirect rule" concomitantly resulted in strengthening "ethnic" solidarity among Ogoni, Igbo, Ijaw, or other communities or peoples that had had no previous motivation or means to unify.

Jones' Photographs of Nigerian Masquerades For when all is said and done, a work of art must ultimately be judged by its visual effect; its appeal must be universal and regardless of age, its function, its maker or what other people have to say about it. (G.I. Jones, The Art of Eastern Nigeria, 1984.) Gwilym Iwam Jones wrote the above sentence to introduce the art of eastern Nigeria. It could have been written about his own photographs, particularly those depicting the performance of masquerades in the region during the 1930s. Not only do they illustrate Jones' mastery of the photographic technique, they also bring out the vivid imagination that framed his images. Their appeal lies in their ability to communicate actions, expressions and responses of people photographed, be they the performers, the audience or the local villagers. By using natural shadows to illuminate details, by experimenting with exposure times, apertures and focal lengths, Jones captured the experience of participating in many kinds of masquerades that are rarely performed today.

MAKE YOUR SELECTION: Papers On Africa Page 12 of 23 [Previous] [Next] Globalization: Political Challenges For Africa send me this paper 7 pages in length. The challenges for Africa inherent to the concept of globalization are both grand and far-reaching. Inasmuch as African economic existence relies heavily upon farming and exports the dawning of globalization threatens to make such conventional practices obsolete. According to economists, globalization and the movement toward an information economy heavily dependent on knowledge-based products threatens to see Africa's already tenuous position in the global economy deteriorate further. That Africa's economy depends upon locally produced commodities, such as vanilla, sugar, cocoa and palm oil, speaks to the aspect of modernized techniques that are being developed as a means by which to create such commodities faster, cheaper and within laboratories or non-traditional environments.
