The cobra is sacred to her, and during a week-long festival every year, cobras are captured, kept to be fed with milk in her honour and then released. The cobra with spread hood appears as part of the uraeus , a golden band worn around the brow by Egyptian kings and queens as a sign of blessing upon the throne of the Pharoah. Even after the Greek Ptolemies (including Cleopatra) acquired that throne as a result of Roman political expedience, they kept the ancient 2-snake emblem. This winged naga represents the life goddess, Buto or Uazet [ Wadjet She appears with her sister, goddess of the afterlife, on either side of the sun disc.

It is defined in terms of genes, species, and ecosystems which are the outcome of over 3,000 million years of evolution. The human species depends on biological diversity for its own survival. Thus, the term can be considered a synonym for "life on Earth". To date, an estimated 1.7 million species have been identified. The exact number of the Earth's existing species, however, is still unknown. Estimates vary from a low of 5 million to a high of 100 million.

Extractions: No. 6, November/December 1997: page 24-26 "For Africans, there are two forms of losing one's way: by immurement in particularism, or dispersion in the universal." What will happen to culture in a global economy? What will become of cultural identity, collective self-confirmation, the feeling of belonging to one and the same history, and the will to shape this history together with one another? What will come of the demand for self-determination? In Africa, the established reflexes are losing their way. Demands which hardly 40 years ago were obvious to independence fighters, must now long-windedly be explained, justified and defended. We exist less and less as a collective held together by tradition and common values. On the contrary, we accept with ever fewer reservations our dispersion in the world market. The desire to be ourselves has been replaced by impersonal concern about efficiency and economic success. I will give two examples of this loss of orientation, the language policy and the science policy of our countries, before I put the unavoidable, eternal, inevitable question: what is to be done? The problem of languages: A new rhetoric To be sure, that is not wholly wrong. A working language is never a completely foreign language, even if it is commanded by only a tiny minority. But those who are happy to make this point one-sidedly, state only a half-truth. The other half, which is more important in relation to the problem facing us, is the fact that while French and English are not entirely foreign languages, they nevertheless remain languages of foreign origin, a colonial legacy. Even if the present elite have assimilated and adopted them to varying degrees, they cannot be compared to the indigenous languages that for centuries have served the African people as a means of expression and communication.

Review Of African Crossroads And Kingdom On Mount Cameroon introduction of foreign populations for an indigenous people during a relativelyfull history of peoples in the to the rise of BaliNyongo fon Galega through http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/dz/xroads/historian.html
Extractions: Kingdom on Mount Cameroon: Studies in the History of the Cameroon Coast, 1500-1970; Cameroon Studies, Volume 1. By Edwin Ardener. Edited and with an Introduction by Shirley Ardener. (Providence and Oxford: Berghahn Books, 1996. Pp. xix, 380. $49.95.) In fact, both of these volumes stand at the methodological crossroads between history and anthropology in that they strive to unravel the sometimes-obscure chronology and context of the Cameroonian past using the tools and approaches of both of those disciplines. The first volume of the series constitutes a partial collection of the efforts of a scholar whose work mainly appeared in the 1950s and 1960s "when Cameroon Studies were in their relative infancy" (xviii). The second, dedicated to another ground-breaking researcher in the field, E. M. Chilver, is a diverse assembly of papers by more recent researchers who build on earlier work on the Bamenda Grassfields of Cameroon. In African Crossroads: Intersections between History and Anthropology in Cameroon, Ian Fowler and David Zeitlyn lead off with a discussion of the scholarly controversies surrounding the economic and linguistic diversity of the Grassfields area. An emphasis is placed on the "Tikar Problem", wherein the many dynasties claiming descent from the Tikar have neither linguistic nor cultural commonalities among them. The editors suggest that the Tikar introduced a "model" for a tribe, which Grassfields, chiefdoms emulated by claiming origin from them. Richard Fardon, in the first essay, "The Person, Ethnicity and the Problem of Identity in West Africa," confirms the view that the identity of the Chamba seems to be a product of the retrojection of the tribe's collective memory into a comprehensive historical narrative in which they could not have participated.

Extractions: Author/s: John Geipel It was the seventeenth-century Jesuit preacher and missionary. Frei Antonio Vieira, who said that Brazil had `the body of America and the soul of Africa' and this description continues, to some extent, to hold true. In Vieira's day, Africans and their offspring black and mulatto, slave and free far outnumbered Europeans in Portugal's South American colony. Three centuries on, although the African element in the population is much diluted, Brazil's economic, demographic, genetic and cultural debt to Africa remains inestimable. From the colony's very infancy in the early sixteenth century, the contribution of Africa to the population and development of Brazil has been prodigious and pervasive and few aspects of Brazilian society and civilisation have remained untouched by its influence. Over the four centuries of Portuguese involvement in the Atlantic slave trade, an estimated 10 to 15 million Africans were transported to the European colonies in the Americas. Of these, over 3.5 million were taken to Brazil, many arriving after the growth of the coffee industry in the mid-nineteenth century. Even after the Atlantic slave trade to Brazil was declared illegal in 1850, contraband `Black Gold' continued to be smuggled across the ocean.

This course will expose students to major artistic, cultural, and literary movements in Japan from pre-history to the present day. This course will also emphasize the relationship of literature to traditional arts and rituals. Students will discover how poetry, drama, fiction, and film reflect Japanese aesthetics, nuances of manners and emotional expressions, and perceptions of nature. Religious diversity in Japan will be explored in art and literature, especially Shintoism, the Buddhist influences from China, and Zen Buddhism. Cultural transformations in Japan will be emphasized, such as aristocratic codes of conduct, samurai codes, rising power of chonin (non-samurai urban merchants and artisans), isolation and the West, and contemporary material culture. Particular attention will be given to class issues, gender categories, and critiques of social institutions and values.
