Toguna The African Studies Program NEWSLETTER Vol 4, No. 1, Winter 2000 Interview with John Mugane, - Professor of Swahili Q: Welcome back to Ohio University. Could we have your sentiments about Nyerere's passing away? Dr. Mugane: He is the kind of person who was a true African Nationalist. In East Africa, when South Africa was fighting for independence, he was the only one who allowed South A~icans to come and live in Tanzania for free since they were running away from apartheid. Also, Tanzania was the only country who went into Uganda to remove Idi Amin. People like Julius Nyerere for whom the atrocities created in Uganda by Idi Amin were sufficient enough to take all his country's resources, Tanzania was poor, and go overthrow Idi Amin. Also, after leaving power, he overtly admitted that his program failed. That's again not common in nowadays leaders. He said that his Afiican socialism did not work, but he always insisted that capitalism doesn't have a human face. So it's a huge loss for Tanzania. Among his accomplishments, on a personal interest, he promoted African languages. He wrote, translated Shakespearean plays into Swahili. He was doing so to show that African languages can be as artistic, intellectual as anybody can decide and make them Can you find a leader in Africa to attribute those credentials? A good thing, in his favor, is that we can at least be able to point at somebody. We don't have leaders like Julius Nyerere and Mandela.

55. The Use Of Indigenous Signs By Interpreters a country, there is no indigenous sign for it evoke emotions consider Negro , Colored People , People of Color for africa was derived from swahili and began http://www.rit.edu/~dabdis/indj/intro.html

The use of indigenous signs by interpreters David Bar-Tzur Last updated 5/26/2000 There is a movement among some Deaf people to use indigenous signs for foreign countries and their cities. By indigenous I mean, for example, the Japanese Sign Language sign for "Japan", rather than the ASL sign. This development has been sparked by an increasing interaction between American and foreign Deaf people through activities such as international Deaf sports, Deaf Way, Deaf tourists (who can communicate more easily with foreign Deaf than Hearing people in a similar situation), Deaf missionary work, and Deaf people working in such settings as the Peace Corps. Should interpreters begin to use these signs in their work too? I believe two articles from Silent News are very helpful in examining this issue. The articles are "A sign of African-American pride" by Emmanuel Azodeh, March 1994, and "In England, deaf community fights to keep their offensive signs" by Rajeev Syal, month? 1994. Azodeh discusses the various signs that have been used for "Africa" over the years. Since Africa is a continent, not a country, there is no indigenous sign for it, but it is interesting to see the emotions that a sign can evoke, just as labels of ethnic groups evoke emotions: consider "Negro", "Colored People", "People of Color", "Afro-American", "Black", and "African American". To encapsulate the parts of his article that are of interest to us here, Azodeh says that about five years ago the sign for Africa, which begins with a

THE SWAHILI COAST EPISODE By John Middleton The half-million people known as Swahili live along the coastline of East Africa from Somalia to Mozambique. Their language is taught in the United States as a basic "African" language, but few if any Swahili ever crossed the Atlantic as slaves: they themselves exported slaves across the Indian Ocean to Arabia and the East. Who are the Swahili? Like any other peoples, they claim a particular identity, although one that has changed during their long history. They see it in ethnic terms, that of their believed place of origin. To understand this we need to know not only who they say they are and where they came from but also the roles they have played in the past and today. Most African peoples are rural farmers, with their own indigenous religions, but the Swahili are urban dwellers with a Muslim and literate civilization. For centuries, they were merchants in the ancient commerce between the interior of Africa and the countries of the Indian Ocean, dealing mainly in ivory, gold, and slaves from Africa and in cloth and beads from Asia. To their ports came sailing ships from Arabia and India and foot caravans from the African interior. The British abolition of the export of slaves in 1873 and slavery itself in 1897 in Tanzania and 1907 in Kenya destroyed much of their former economy, and their role of wealthy merchants has been taken from them during the 20th century by international companies. The Swahili merchants live in towns, many founded a thousand years ago. Other Swahili, farmers and fishermen, live in coastal villages. Each town is formed around its central mosque attended by the men (women may not enter mosques). The merchants' houses, set in narrow streets and often two or three stories high, are elaborately designed and furnished, and in the past were of great wealth and luxury, with many domestic slaves. Merchant families kept themselves ethnically "pure" by marrying only their own close kin, in expensive and elaborate weddings. With their present impoverishment most of the luxury and splendor have gone.

The Forest Peoples Programme exists to support the response of forest peoples to the global forest crisis. It aims to secure the rights of peoples, who live in the forests and depend on them for their livelihoods, to control their lands and destinies. The programme seeks to create political space for forest peoples to exercise their right to self-determination and to practise sustainable forest management. The Programme has five main goals: to support an effective global movement of forest peoples. to promote coordinated action on forests by NGOs of North and South in line with forest peoples’ visions and concerns. to promote the rights and interests of forest peoples in international forest policy and human rights fora.
