Visiting the striking landscape and experiencing the culture of the cliff-dwelling Dogon people leaves students with indelible memories. A semester in Mali is an unforgettable experience.

82. In Griot Time: An American Guitarist In Mali In Griot Time An American Guitarist in mali is the new African culture and travelbook, 5 years in the making by Banning Eyre of NPR, Boston Phoenix, and http://www.banningeyre.com/pages/about_igt.html

AN AMERICAN GUITARIST IN MALI Home CD Reviews Order ... Archive Five years in the making, Banning Eyre's In Griot Time (Temple) provides a vivid, behind-the-scenes look at the music scene in Bamako, Mali. Eyre spent seven months as an apprentice to guitarist Djelimady Tounkara of the Super Rail Band. His account goes beyond musicology and social history to reveal the personalities and the inner workings of one of the world's most fascinating music cultures. Are the griots guardians of Mali's cultural heritage? Or are they exploiters who keep society trapped in the past? Do American blues and string music really have roots in West Africa? Can an African nation embrace modernity without losing its ancient soul? These are the questions that unify the stories in this remarkable book. Mali's top musicians are here: Salif Keita, Oumou Sangar, Ali Farka Tour, Habib Koite, Sali Sidib, and others. But equally interesting are less famous incidental characters. Anyone who has ever been touched by African music, or dreamed of travel, will want to read In Griot Time Djelimady Tounkara steps out for a solo.

A Commentary: African Cultural Retentions in Louisiana Charles E. Siler The thread which binds the quilt of Louisiana culture is African. Food, folkways, music, dance, religion, ritual, language and style of creativity are among the many areas where this influence is evident. In 1719, two hundred Africans were brought to New Orleans one year after its so-called founding. Why? According to Dr. Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, African people had the skills and knowledge to make the newest French colony viable. According to Dr. Hall, the French deliberately brought people from the Senegambian region to their new colony because the Senegal valley was similar to the Mississippi valley, they specifically instructed the captains of the ships bringing the enslaved to "produce several blacks who knew how to cultivate rice" and also bring "three or four barrels of rice for seeding which they were to give to the Company (i.e., the Company of the Indies) upon arrival in Louisiana." Rice became the most successful food crop to be cultivated in the new French colony.

Students earn 16 semester credits on a 15-week experience designed to encourage a global awareness that enables people to live in an interdependent world. Groups of seven to 25 students are led by one or two academic directors. A strategic desert crossroads linking the Arab world and sub-Saharan Africa, Mali enjoys a complex and diverse heritage. Its distinctive ethnic groups — including the nomadic Tuaregs, the Dogon cliff dwellers, and the many farming societies settled along the Niger delta — continue to practice their traditional ways of life, rich in indigenous arts, religious expression, and strong community allegiances. Yet, at the same time, modern, democratic Mali is at the forefront of African nations striving to address essential development issues and, with support from the highest level of government, focus on issues relating to gender and family. With its blend of tribal heritage and Islamic influence, lively cities and mud-walled mosques, Mali provides a fascinating opportunity for you to study the effects of development initiatives on a nation attempting to preserve its unique cultural identity and address gender roles within traditional and modern contexts.

THE SHIELD OF PUBLIC PRIDE A Malian Community Confronts Traffickers in Its Past by Professor Roderick J. McIntosh Regional Workshop on the Illicit Traffic of Cultural Property Minist¶re malien de la Culture et de la Communication UNESCO - Conseil International des Arts et de la Culture Bamako, Mali 12-14 October 1994 ...I dream of a day when a network of local guardianship spreads out from DjennÚ, up to Timbuktu, encompassing the whole of the Middle Niger's antiquities. Why not the whole of Mali? And while that net of local pride is being woven, efforts will continue to expose the venality of the "import" side of the equation. The illicit traffick in cultural property must no longer be allowed to frustrate mutual respect among nations. 1See Chippindale, C. 1991 Editorial.
