Excerpt: Equatorial Guinea was the only Spanish colony in Sub-Saharan Africa. During its colonial history between 1778 and 1968, it developed a tradition of literature in Spanish, unique among the countries in Africa, that persists until the present day (A partial qualification to this is the fact that writers of lyrics from Western Sahara have chosen Spanish as their medium of expression, reflecting that country's former status as a Spanish colony which it shares with Equatorial Guinea.) The literature of Equatorial Guinea in Spanish is relatively unknown, unlike African literature in English, French, and Portuguese. For example, M'bare N'gom, a professor at Morgan State University, searched 30 anthologies of literature in Spanish published between 1979 and 1991 and did not find a single reference to Equatoguinean writers. The same thing occurs in anthologies of African literature in European languages published in the 1980s and in specialized journals such as Research in African Literatures, African Literature Today, Présence Africaine or Canadian Journal of African Studies. This began to change in the late 1990s with the publication of a monograph in the journal Afro-Hispanic Review, and with the conferences Spain in Africa and Latin America: The Other Face of Literary Hispanism at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri in May 1999 and Primer Encuentro de Escritores africanos en Lengua Española (First Encounter with African Writers in the Spanish Language) in Murcia, Spain in November 2000. The first references to Africa in literature began in the 15th century with Portuguese and Spanish exploration of the Atlantic. This period was...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21197064 ... Read more

Excerpt: Bubi people -The name applied to the tribe, "Bubi", did not originate from within the tribe. It was given to them by pre-colonial (European?) visitors to the island of Bioko. It has been suggested that the term "bubi" was derived from booby which means "unlearned, senseless, and clumsy". It must be noted here that the Bubi/Adijas people and language existed long before the word "booby" existed in what is now called English. More than likely, the term was taken from Europeans who had heard the manner in which the indigenous people of Bioko Island greeted one another. "A boobe, oipodi" translates into "good morning". From the word "boobe", meaning male, the term Bubi was derived by foreigners. Subsequently, the term "bubi" was adopted by the indigenous people, who began referring to themselves as "mobube" and "babube". Other forms of "A boobe, oipodi" include "A moome, oipodi" which means "good evening"; and "A moamecho, oibori" which means "good afternoon". A literal translation in English would be: 'Man, you have arisen already?' Originally the Bubi referred to themselves as "people of the land who are among the living". In the Bubi language, the translation of this phrased varied per region within the Bubi Kingdom: Bioko Island - Indigenous land of the Bubi KingdomThe Bubi people are sub...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=733178 ...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Nacional de Guinea Equatorial is the national broadcaster of the West African state of Equatorial Guinea. Radio Nacional de Guinea Equatorial is headquartered in the capital city, Malabo. Malabo is the capital but not the largest city of Equatorial Guinea, located on the northern coast of Bioko Island (formerly Fernando Pó) on the rim of a sunken volcano.. Its population has grown rapidly over the past ten years to about 100,000 but, it is still one of the smallest capital cities in Africa. The city was first founded by the British in 1827, who leased the island from Spain during the colonial period. Named Port Clarence, it was used as a naval station in the effort to suppress the slave trade. Many newly freed slaves were also settled there, prior to the establishment of Liberia as a colony for freed slaves. While many of them later relocated to Sierra Leone, some of their descendants, called Fernandinos, can still be found in Malabo and the surrounding area, where they constitute a distinct ethnic group, speaking their own Afro-Portuguese pidgin dialect. ...
