STRUGGLING TOWARDS LITERACY IN WAR-TORN ETHIOPIA Introduction: Problems for world adult literacy Nontraditional approaches: Inviting dialogue New interpretations of the Freireian Participatory model during the last decade have focused less on primers and more on customized literacy "kits" tailored to individual communities' situations (Marshall, 1991; Richmond, 1986; Hesser, 1988). Many researchers stress the importance of post-primer literacy continuity and provision of opportunity to practice literacy in local workplace situations or local health and agriculture-based initiatives (Arrien, 1990; Wagner, 1993). Studies in Literacy in Tigray: The effects of war As soon as the civil war with all its desolation and loss ended in 1992, literacy became one of the first and most urgent items on the peacetime agenda in Tigray. Tigrayans, highly motivated and hardworking people, were and are eager to restore planned progress to their devastated countryside and decimated population. The tithing of paltry salaries is common practice in the post-war rehabilitation effort. However, severe limitations of manpower and resources, and constraints on mobility, time and communications in the early post-war years resulted in a sadly familiar narrative: isolation and lack of contact with literacy projects in other areas and other countries; recycled and uncoordinated curricula, methods and materials; underqualiAeo literacy trainers and trainer instructors; under enrollment of rural women; inadequate and out-dated training and evaluation procedures; inattention to emergent- and post-literacy needs in Tigrinya; lack of intersectoral collaboration; and literacy as a tool for government propaganda. The consequence once more was high learner attrition (Abebe, 1994).

MDCCCCXIX (1919)
PREFACE
There seemed to be room, then, for a small volume which should exhibit the phenomena and the related and inferred beliefs of this complex stage in a simple manner, with sufficiently numerous citations to illustrate clearly, yet without the overlay of too abundant references. The references here given have been drawn almost entirely from very recent and authoritative sources gathered in the writer's own reading, easily accessible in the current of books on travel now pouring from the press. Most of the volumes to which reference has been made in this discussion belong to the twentieth century. Moreover these sources are primary. Recourse has seldom been had even to so valuable a collection of facts as Fraser's quite exhaustive Golden Bough in its third edition. The facts there adduced were employed by the talented author for quite another end than the present writer's, and this might easily have led to confusion.
Hardly less interesting is the fact that in some fundamentalsreligious and socialthe advanced thought of the day is returning to some convictions essential to animistic culture. One would not be drawing the long bow were he to affirm that in that stage every act in life had a religious aspect. Nothing a man could do but might be regarded as either pleasing to spirits or the reverse. One might say that animists went far beyond Matthew Arnold's dictum that conduct is three-fourths of lifefor them it embraced the whole of life. That is precisely what advanced thinkers are maintaining today, and in that tenet is the best promise for improvement in modern conditions among all classes.

Scarcity and Abundance. Contrasting conceptions of the forest in Northern Congo-Brazzaville, and issues for conservation
Paper prepared for the Ninth International Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies, Edinburgh Conference Centre, Heriot-Watt University, September 9 th th Jerome@jinlewis.freeserve.co.uk
Abstract

There is little difference in outcome for local people between the activities of those Euro-Americans exploiting forest resources and those attempting to protect them. The paper will expand on this to show how it relates to certain fundamental conceptions of scarcity prevalent among people from industrialised nations. This is contrasted with local perceptions of the forest as abundant. The paper concludes by arguing that conceptions of abundance provide a more appropriate model for resource management in Central Africa than the continued imposition of models based on scarcity.
Introduction
In this paper I shall focus broadly on some of the main characterisations of the forest and the relationships that compose and maintain it by certain key actors in Northern Congo-Brazzaville. Although briefly presenting an outline of the nuances within each group, I argue that broadly speaking there are two dominant views of the forest and its resources, one based on a perception of their abundance and the other based on a perception of their scarcity. In general, people coming from industrialised countries see the forest as a scarce resource and those people living in or near the forest see it as an abundant resource.

Chimpanzees and Gorillas: Ethnic Stereotyping in the Ndoki Forest, Northern Congo-Brazzaville. Draft, all comments most welcome Jerome Lewis, London School of Economics, London, WC2A 2AE. Email: Jerome@jinlewis.freeserve.co.uk Introduction With a focus on the Mbendjele Yaka Pygmies in Northern Congo-Brazzaville, this paper will describe locally constructed ethnic stereotypes shared between hunter-gatherer groups with different languages that contrast them to non-hunter-gatherer groups in the region. The stereotypes non-hunter-gatherers hold of the hunter-gatherers will also be presented and analysed within the context of their interaction, and the discrimination faced by the hunter-gatherers. Despite different languages, economies and lifestyles there exists regular interaction between hunter-gatherers and non-hunter-gatherers. This paper will seek to show how both groups use ethnic stereotypes in different ways to structure strategies for engaging with, and expectations of behaviour from, the other group. The Mbendjele and other Yaka People The Mbendjele Yaka Pygmies are hunter-gatherers in the Ndoki forest between the Sangha and Oubangui Rivers in northern Congo-Brazzaville and some parts of southwestern Central African Republic. The Mbendjele’s neighbours include other hunter-gatherer groups, such as the Baka, Mikaya and Luma, as well as numerous agriculturalist Bantu and Ubangian – language speaking groups.

April 2004
A United Nations world-wide programme of human rights education from 2005
This worldwide programme should come into being with the adoption by the General Assembly of an action plan whose first phase, lasting three years as from 2005, will be centred on primary and secondary school teaching. The Costa Rican resolution indicates that the elaboration of the action plan will be conferred on The United Nations High Commission on Human Rights in collaboration with UNESCO and " other state actors or competent non-governmental organisations ". This action plan would be financed by means of voluntary contributions even though an " appropriate " portion from the UN will be able to be used in the development of the " national capital " of the state members. The plan foresees the expenditure of money to support activities undertaken in particular by non-governmental organisations. Nevertheless the resolution does not specify the range or limit of these expenditures.
These promising developments demand the means and political will to guarantee their realisation on the ground. Let us remember the engagement of countries, during the Jomtien Conference organized by UNESCO in 1990, to assure basic education for all as of the year 2000. One well knows that this promise was not kept, so that the

by Pepetela
Translated from the Portuguese by Marga Holness
(Heinemann, ISBN 0-435-90962-2) The slum, a thriving and hive-like place, is witness to the extremes of human life. Over and over people survive or are broken by the same kinds of circumstances. Humming with life the slum may be, but it also has its own curious stasis. In The Sun Hath Looked Upon Me Cameroonian writer Calixthe Beyala plunges us into the stagnant world of the Quartier Général, where her protagonist, Ateba, strives for her own identity against the dictates of the moralistic and hypocritical aunt with whom she lodges. But for all that happens to Ateba, the plot remains afloat: characters appear and then get abandoned and the significance of events is constantly shifting. Through all this routine change where nothing really changes, the narrative cuts out space for Ateba and for the shaping of her voice.

Uncle Wills’ Cabin
Ambassador Ashley Wills’ Architecture for Peace Negotiations By Professor C Suriyakumaran Uncle Tom’s Cabin Nearly 150 years ago, when the Big White Chief in Washington requested Chief Seattle, one of the last vanishing people, to sell his land, the latter simply said. “The Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land”. He also sends us words of friendship and goodwill. We know that he has little need of our friendship in return, but we will consider his offer, for we know that if we do not sell, “the White man may come with guns and take the land”. No one would wish more than this writer, who had written repeatedly so, for opting for one country and a solution within that. And Ambassador Wills is certainly right, that a principal aim must be to find a way to make the Minorities feel secure, while assuring those who are worried about Separation that territorial integrity shall be kept. This is not new thinking, indeed it is the core of everything from the beginning of this sad history, of nearly 50 years now. What is helpful would be to express even handed thinking on what it takes to do so, since this is precisely what has bedeviled perceptions and solutions. It was the late Ernest Gellner formerly of the L S E and later founder of the World Centre for the Study of Nationalism at Prague, who declared that what caused reversions to Multi Community was not the concept of nationalism “but the proceeding and continuing failure of democracy itself. The ethnic brand of nationalism triumphed because the civic one was scarcely given a chance by those who ran the State”.
