Association for Africanist Anthropology home Back to the Village, Off to The City: Ethnographies of African Cosmopolitans American Anthropological Association Meetings November 2000, San Francisco, CA AfAA Sponsored Session by Eric Gable, Mary Washington College A nthropology News , March and April 2001, volume , number , p. Looking at a similar kind of imaginary allegiance to a long left behind homeland, Charles Piot linked what might be likened to a local diasporathe forced colonial era relocation of tens of thousands of Kabre in Togo to a fertile uninhabited area in the southern region to engage in cashcropping with an ongoing habitus of migration and repatriation. To this day Southern Kabre who are twice as numerous as northern Kabre continue to return to the north by the tens of thousands each yearto visit family and initiate children, to build houses and cover them with tin, and, to there be buried and join the cult of the ancestors. Piot argued that it is in the mobile toandfro space between homeland and frontier, village and city, and, increasingly, village and metropole, and in and around the opposingthough complementarypulls of money and ritual, that a quintesssentially Kabre and diasporic culture is enacted, producing a vernacular cosmopolitanism, that is at once rooted and mobile. Exploring another dimension of the ways Africans manage diaspora, Hylton Whyte mapped out how Zulu courtship and wedding songs, created and performed today, invoke the experience of movements between the countryside and the city, yet in a strikingly anachronistic fashion. Such songs evoke images of forms of transport, destinations, routes, dilemmas, and motives of movement that were endemic to the "classic" modes of migrancy under apartheid, but which have all but disappeared in recent decades. Whyte asked why these gaps have emerged between the facts and images of rural-urban travel in the post-apartheid age, and argued for the emergence of a sort of indigenous nostalgia that allows Zulu to continue to express allegiance to domestic reproduction even as material conditions make it ever harder to accomplish this feat.

It is intended to assist districts in identifying the languages spoken by some limited English proficient students in New York State. It is not an all-inclusive inventory of the nations and/or linguistic systems of the world. Two lists of languages and countries are provided. List A alphabetizes the languages that are spoken by students of limited English proficiency in New York State school districts, and identifies the corresponding countries where those languages are spoken. List B is alphabetized by country, and indicates the major languages spoken in each. We hope that this publication will be useful in identifying student language backgrounds.

CLARITY RANKING: 3 CHRISTINA ROSER Baylor University (Tina Thurston) Alves, Julio. “Transgressions and Transformations: Initiation Rites among Urban Portuguese Boys”. American Anthropologist Vol. 95: 894-917. In this article, Alves was examining the function of initiation rites in the working-class community of Ajuda in Lisbon, Portugal. This community had no formal initiation rites, so the boys developed their own separate from the adults. The rite that was developed was “rampages throughout the community and subsequent public narration of these experiences” (894). Alves draws heavily on the theory of Van Gennep and Turner to explain the social function of the rampage. He terms it as a rite of passage, a concept of a ritual that is performed in times of transition, from one state to another. In this case it is the state of childhood that is transitioning to the state of adolescence.

Togolese women and children are highly vulnerable to traffickers, who force them into slave labor within West Africa and prostitution in western Europe. A representative from PLAN International noted that children were trafficked individually across borders in earlier times, but officials increasingly have reported finding children by the busload at Togo’s borders. The frontier police intercepted children in the following numbers at the borders from January to August 2001: 13 girls in February, 14 girls and 4 boys in May, and 4 girls in June.

Back Issues LDCs – Jump-starting Trade It’s unlikely that anyone who attended the ITC Business Sector Round Table (Brussels, 16 May) at the Third United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries did not come away encouraged by the inventiveness, ingenuity, perseverance and energy of entrepreneurs in even the poorest of developing countries. We heard from a Nepalese venture capitalist who nurtures and trains new entrepreneurs, a Tanzanian who has virtually created an international market for indigenous gemstones, a Samoan woman who has found a niche in the United States health food market for a local fruit juice, and a Haitian who has become the world’s biggest exporter of perfume essence, among many others. As we learned later, several of the entrepreneurs used the occasion to explore business opportunities and network among themselves. (Page 2 : 374 words) Read more . . . Turning LDC Export Opportunities Into Business The ITC and Government of Norway Business Sector Round Table (BSRT) held on 16 May 2001 at the Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (14-20 May 2001) put a surprising spotlight on the situation of the world’s 49 poorest countries. The BSRT showed that many exceptional entrepreneurs from least developed countries (LDCs) have been able to achieve export success — often with important benefits for their workers and communities. Twenty went to Brussels to tell their LDC success stories to the more than 250 people — business executives and senior trade officials from LDCs along with multilateral agency and donor government representatives — who took part in the round table. We gathered many more of these success stories, which are featured on the BSRT web site (
