Extractions: Africa is a vast continent three times the size of the United Sates with over fifty countries and 1000 different ethnic groups or peoples and languages. All these peoples have different personal names in use in their cultures. As you can imagine there are a huge number of African names, ranging from those with Arabic roots and derivation in the northern parts of Africa to those of European origin to indigenous, African names through out the continent. As such we can not have every possible African name on the list. Moreover we include in the list only names with meanings. There are many African names without meanings, simply because the original meaning is long forgotten or possibly did not exist in the first place. Your name may also not be on the list because it is not an African Name. If you know your name's meaning, you may list it in the new names list, from where it will eventually find its way into the names lists, after verification. If you do not know the meaning of your name please post it in one of the public areas (guest book, meeting place, or bulletin board) with a request for assistance. Somebody out there may know the meaning. Also send us mail about it and check back often to see if it has been added to the lists.

Extractions: My primary research interests are in eastern African archaeology, particularly that of later medium-range and large-scale societies, and the interface between archaeology, ethnology, and history. Throughout the last 2,000 years, the eastern African coast and its hinterland has been a mosaic of hunting/gathering, pastoralist, mixed farming and urban societies, interacting in the context of migrations, long-distance trade, technological transformations, religious conversions, alliances and hostility, internationalism, and colonialism. The variety of middle-range (or `chiefdom') societies and urban forms in Africa has become central to later African archaeological research, and it is Swahili urbanism where my current research lies. The above project builds on research I developed while teaching archaeology at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in the late 1980s. After working with students on coastal village sites, I began research at Pujini, a 15th-16th-century palatial Swahili settlement on Pemba. My vantage point from that political center led to my looking at Pemba as a series of interlocking regional systems. In 1997 I thus began excavating the large 8th-18th-century Swahili stonetown of Chwaka, linked to Pujini in extensive oral traditions on the island, focusing on the internal organization of the town itself. I continue to maintain an interest in African urbanisms generally. Inspired by questions about the organization of early towns in West Africa, I conducted an ethnoarchaeological study of craft producers in Jenn, Mali which recently appeared as a monograph. I am currently publishing the Pujini research and preliminary research from Chwaka, as well as a review of early African urbanism. I am committed to working closely with colleagues and students in Tanzania on issues of representation of Swahili culture. I engage in public-minded archaeology in Tanzania through the production of interpretive museum displays and teaching materials, making presentations in municipal and local forums, and maintaining a lively dialogue with the Swahili communities in which I conduct research.

The group was launched early in 2002 by former volunteers in two well-established groups based in Toronto but supported by numerous other people - in Canada, Africa, and elsewhere. These groups were: the Economic Rights in Southern Africa group of the Inter-Church Coalition on Africa (ICCAF), which is now a part of KAIROS-Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, and the Toronto Committee for the Liberation of Southern Africa (TCLSAC) which, for more than 20 years, published the Southern Africa Report (SAR)."

Extractions: 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.
