UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA - AFRICAN STUDIES CENTER Africa Access Review Of Children's Materials, ed. Brenda Randolph Introduction ISBN: 0-03-047424 Subjects: Africa/Literature/African Americans/Diaspora Review: This textbook on African American literature includes selections by some of Africa's most outstanding writers. Claude Ake, Buchi Emecheta, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Leopold Senghor, and Amos Tutuloa are among the writers included. In addition, there are two works from the past, a poem by Pharoah Akhenaton, and an excerpt from Olaudah Equiano's famous narrative on his capture and enslavement in the 1700s. These selections and others in the text are preceded by background notes and information on the literary form being highlighted. At the conclusion of each offering, a "Responding to the Selection" section provides a review of the material covered. Additional features include a map of Africa which shows the birthplaces of the contributors, a pronunciation guide for Igbo words, and splendid photographs, many of which are in color. This outstanding collection is a must purchase for all schools. (Brenda Randolph) Subjects: Folklore/Mpongwe/West Africa Subjects: Ethiopia/ East Africa Review: This book portrays contemporary Ethiopian life in most of its vital aspects. Unfortunately, much has changed that raise question marks, for example, Lenin's statue in Addis Ababa which was toppled with the fall of the Mengistu government. However, for the curious young reader that should not be a problem; helped by a knowledgeable teacher, the rest of the pictures can fill in some gap in the knowledge of young students about Africa.

Destinations To this day, East Africa remains the finest wildlife paradise on earth. Travelling through landscapes of staggering beauty, witnessing the fascinating traditional lifestyles of the indigenous peoples, living among the spectacular herds of game and sleeping under canvas beneath the vast African sky, stimulates all the senses; the never-to-be-forgotten experiences that provoke moments of profound reflection. As Mick Jagger wrote in our guest book, it “Took me back.” Africa takes people back to their roots, to childhood dreams of striped horses, spotted cats, and giraffe, creatures impossible to believe until you see them in their natural habitat, in the landscape where our own kind began. Robin Hurt Photo Safaris supports sustainable ecotourism and to this end we patronize community group ranches that promote conservation in such areas as Il Ngwesi and Namunyak in northern Kenya. Both Kenya and Tanzania are acclaimed for their political stability; the people are helpful and friendly, and officials, polite and courteous.

Current time in Nairobi Special Fares to Kenya e-mail Log in Safari Finder My Itinerary QUICK BROWSE Swahili Origin of Swahili kenya's linguistic groups Swahili the National Language of Kenya Swahili or Kiswahili has become the most extended indigenous language in Africa, with some 50 million speakers. Currently it is the official and national language in Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda it is the national language, since official communications and administration use English. Thanks to the relationships of the East African countries with the neighboring countries, Swahili is also spoken in some regions of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South Africa. The name of this language has its origin in sâhils-awâhil Dating the origins of Swahili is not an easy task. It seems clear that the language was spoken at the coast during the 13th century. Some authors propose a much more ancient origin: in his work "Journey through the Erithraean Sea", a greek trader named Diogene who visited the East African coast in the year 110 A.D. told that the arab traders who regularly sailed the coast talked to the natives in their local language, which could represent the first historical reference to Swahili.

Contents Previous Next 2.2 Species and varieties of wild animals eaten Virtually all species of wild animals are acceptable as a food resource to some group of people in Africa. Species which may be tabooed by one group of people are a delicacy to another group elsewhere. Species eaten vary from antelopes to monkeys, rodents. reptiles and a whole range of invertebrate species including snails, termites and beetles. Jardin (1970) lists hundreds of species belonging to 236 genera reported to be eaten by people in Africa. Bushmeat is eaten as fresh meat, smoked, salted or sun dried (biltong). Smoking is the most widespread form of preservation and smoked bushmeat is available in urban markets in most African countries. The range of species taken and relative importance of the different species have been documented for several areas of the continent and vary from locality to locality depending mainly on the species available for exploitation in each region and also on hunting restrictions enforced in each county. Rodents are particularly important in terms of range of species and numbers taken in many parts of Africa, possibly because they are not subject to hunting restrictions in many countries and also the fact that their high reproductive capacity makes them relatively more abundant. A comparison of the use of mammalian species in relation to species occurrence in different environments and the subsistence base of the people living in those environments showed that hunter-gatherer communities living in forest environments used a wider range of the species available to them, while pastoralist communities living in dry environments used only a limited number of species (Table 2.3).

But one thing has remained constant: This country probably has a greater variety of high quality attractions than any other in Africa. But does it offer the right safari experience for you? advertisement Towards the end of the long overnight flight south from Europe the sun comes up over the horizon to illuminate the vastness of Africa below. I already have my nose glued to the window and as the plane creeps further south, I notice I am not the only passenger craning for a glimpse. By the time the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya sail past the excitement is palpable. We are nearly there. For the next hour or so the visitor is assailed by the contrasts which make Kenya one of the world's most interesting countries. As the plane sweeps south on its approach to Nairobi, one's eye flits from the parched, volcano-studded plains of the Rift Valley to the moist cloud-flecked slopes of the Aberdare massif and the lush Kikuyu highlands.

Home History Migrations A.K. Taylor Fund ... Map of Kenya KENYA is the country many people think of when they imagine Africa's vast sweeping plains covered with wildlife. It is a country of great wildlife diversity with a large variety of habitats from high snow capped mountains, to vast deserts, lush forests and spectacular beaches. Masai Mara escarpment and plains full of wildebeest and rare black rhino. It is this diversity of habitats and the geographical location of Kenya between several different evolutionary centers that makes Kenya such a wildlife gem. In addition, there are numerous opportunities for cultural experiences with some of the indigenous people. Many of these tribes such as the Maasai, Samburu, Boran, Rendille, Turkana, Gabbra and Swahili still retain much of their traditional customs. Traditional Samburu singing and dancing. A VARIETY OF WAYS TO SEE KENYA There are numerous ways to travel and see the different regions in Kenya. Perhaps one of the finest ways to see Kenya is traveling with a classic mobile-tented camp to a variety of parks and private ranches. Tented Camp There is also a selection of private homes (which we call bush homes), which offer a limited number of accommodations on private game ranches that are often adjacent to parks and reserves. The standards of accommodations and service in these homes are among the finest to be found in Africa. They are all creatively built with local materials and fit in wonderfully with the surrounding environment. Many of these places are owner run and managed and are situated on or near tribal lands allowing one to experience the local African people in their everyday lives.

In 1962 Uganda gained independence under a federal constitution that gave Buganda a large measure of autonomy.

Religion History and Culture of Kenya: The first of many footprints to be stamped on Kenyan soil were left way back in 2000 BC by nomadic tribes from Ethiopia. A second group followed around 1000 BC and occupied much of central Kenya. The rest of the ancestors of the country's medley of tribes arrived from all over the continent between 500 BC and 500 AD. The Bantu-speaking people (such as the Gusii, Kikuyu, Akamba and Meru) arrived from West Africa while the Nilotic speakers (Maasai, Luo, Samburu and Turkana) came from the Nile Valley in southern Sudan. As tribes migrated throughout the interior, Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula and Shirazis from Persia (now Iran) settled along the East African coast from the 8th century AD onwards. Drawn by the whiff of spices and money, the Portuguese started sniffing around in the 15th century. After venturing further and further down the western coast of Africa, Vasco da Gama finally rounded the Cape of Good Hope and headed up the continent's eastern coast in 1498. Seven years later, the Portuguese onslaught on the region began. By the 16th century, most of the indigenous Swahili trading towns, including Mombasa, had been either sacked or occupied by the Portuguese - marking the end of the Arab monopoly of Indian Ocean trade. The Portuguese settled in for a long period of harsh colonial rule, playing one sultan off against another. But their grip on the coast was always tenuous because their outposts had to be supplied from Goa in India. The Arabs won control of the coast back in 1720.

Main About Us Publications and Videos Regions and Themes ... Feedback Review of ethnobotanical literature from eastern and southern Africa (A.B. Cunningham) 1. Introduction As ethnobotanical research is at the interface between disciplines, it poses an interesting problem in terms of literature review. Significant contributions are made to this field of study by anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, chemists, linguists and naturalists as well as botanists. Ethnobotanical research in East and southern Africa could be divided into five main themes in roughly historical order: (i) a focus, for more than a century, on recording vernacular names and uses; (ii) nutritional and chemical analyses of edible and medicinal wild plants species. These were compiled in Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk's classic (1962) book on East and southern African medicinal plants and by Fox and Norwood-Young (1982) and Wehmeyer (1986) on edible plants for southern Africa and Fowden and Wolfe (1957), Imbamba's (1973), Miege and Miege (1979) and Kalenga Saka and Msonthi (1994) for East and south-central Africa; (iv) quantitiative studies on human impacts on plant resources, particularly those entering commercial trade, such as the impact of palm sap tapping (Cunningham, 1990a,b), the harvesting of aloe resins (Bond, 1983), craft materials (Cunningham and Milton, 1987; Cunningham, 1987, 1988b), traditional medicines (Cunningham, 1991, 1993), Phragmites australis reeds (Cunningham, 1985) and Cymbopogon thatching grass (Shackleton, 1990).

Initially, there were high hopes for farming systems approaches. They appeared a revolutionary way to revitalize technology development and transfer, by giving farmers a voice in agricultural research. Yet results seemed disappointing. The authors assert that the fundamental problem is not one of farming systems research and development principles, but that implementing this approach is quite complex. The book explores how farming systems can be implemented successfully by improving management techniques. It stresses the importance of linkages among the many actors involved.

Why Hilario Chiriap needs money for his work Some more information about Don Hilario Chiriap en the Shuar-people from the Amazonas. The project began when Lama Denys Teundroup, the spiritual director of the European Buddhist Union was travelling in Ecuador to give some Buddhist teachings. It was there that the author and poet Alexis Naranjo invited him to join him on a trip into the jungle to visit the Shuar. This tribe (collectively known to outsiders as "Jivaros") inhabit the sacred waterfalls where the Andes plunge thousands of feet into the green depths of the Amazon rainforest. The Shuar are famous as the proud tribal people who, when gold-greedy Conquistadors built a town there in the sixteenth century, killed every last Spaniard in combat, except the Governor who expired after having been made to gulp a drink wich they prepared especially for him: a goble of the precious metal he craved so much, in liquid form! Hannah An interesting book about the Shuar (Jivaro) is from Michael Harner who lived two years with this people from '56 till en'58 and wrote a a anthopological study about them "The Jivaro, people of the sacred waterfalls."
