PEOPLE PROFILE THE TABWA OF ZAMBIA In the eighteenth century some Tabwas moved south over the border of Zaire into Zambia. They occupied the area from the Zairian border in the north to the Lufubu river in the south. From west to east their area covers 150km of land with Lake Tanganyika being the eastern border. In time they intermarried with some of the people groups in the area. As a result they developed their own "language"; it is a unique blend of Tabwa and Bemba called the Shila dialect. Because of their lack of education the Tabwa used to have a minority complex, but this is changing. Other tribes interact quite easily with the Tabwa and neighbour relations are good. Only 15% of the population live in the urban areas. Farming is their main source of income and they trade produce with the Haushi and Bemba speaking people. They are a polygamous society and live in groups of 20 people. Shelter consists of little huts made out of

The History of Cartography related to Africa
Maps and the history of science The history of western mapping and cartography is interwoven with many important themes and trends: the history of navigation and exploration, economic development and the expansion of European mercantile interests, the encounter with non-western peoples (and the subsequent re-introduction of classical traditions into the west), the rivalries of competing European interests, the relationship of scholars and elites within and among nation states, the development of printing, the increasing need for control over the newly encountered territories from the contact period through colonialism, along with the technology of integrating text and graphics in printed works, the economics of commercial publishing, and so many more topics that one way or another impact upon this story. Herodotus (c. 484-425 BC) is considered the first known historian of the western world. He reported (quite skeptically) the Phoenician circumnavigation of Africa (Waterfield 1998, 4:42). He also documented a scribe's account of the sources of the Nile, which was accepted until the late 19th century: "The account of Herodotus, based on a story told him by a scribe, that the Nile had its source between the two conical peaks of Crophi and Mophi and flowed in two channels to the north and south had considerable influence on future geographers. It accounted for the undue prolongation of the Nile to the south and for the erroneous ascription of the same source to the Nile and the Zambezi" (Lane-Poole 1950:3). The tenacity of this account is truly astounding, as evidenced by the fact that David Livingstone "was still pursuing the Herodotan myth" in the middle of the 19

The Significance of Ethnic Identification
Ethnic identity may best be understood as a construct useful to both groups and individuals. It may be built around group members' perceptions of shared descent, religion, language, origins, or other cultural features. What motivates members to create and maintain a common identity, however, is not shared culture but shared interests. Once created, ethnic groups have persisted not because of cultural conservatism but because their members share some common economic and political interests, thus creating an interest group capable of competing with other groups in the continuing struggle for power. The construction and destruction of ethnic identities has been an ongoing process. The name Ngala , for example, was used by early colonial authorities to describe an ethnic group that they imagined existed and lived upriver from the capital and spoke Lingala. The name Ngala figured prominently on early maps. The fact that Lingala was a lingua franca and that no group speaking Lingala as a mother tongue existed did not prevent colonial authorities from ascribing group characteristics to the fictional entity; they gave

The Mang'anja people are very responsive to the Gospel, and Baptist work in this area is very new. The nine churches/preaching points, two pastors, and enthusiastic lay people form the foundation for exceptional church growth that will launch a Church Planting Movement among the target group.

EXPLORATORY STUDY UNDERWAY: EXCHANGE SITE IN SOUTHERN AFRICA The African Studies Program offers programs abroad in North, West, and East Africa. A new program would offer students a fourth region of study abroad in Southern Africa. The African Studies Program received a grant from the Fund for International Education to conduct preliminary travel/research to Namibia to explore a university exchange. Professor Jo Ellen Fair, Journalism, will visit the University of Namibia this fall to assess the feasibility of an exchange for journalism students. The program would be open to other disciplines as well as journalism. GRANT TO TEACH ABOUT PRIMARY HEALTH CARE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Dr. Cynthia Haq and Dr. Richard E. Anstett, Department of Family Medicine, received a planning grant for New Initiatives in International Education to develop a course "Primary Health Care in Developing Countries" to be offered in 1995. The goal of the course is to prepare students for work in developing countries by teaching them about the medical, cultural, social, economic, political and public health problems that affect the lives and health of people they will serve. Dr. Anstett, completed a Masters in Public Health in International Health, Harvard School of Public Health, followed by a year working in rural hospitals in Kenya and India. Dr. Haq, trained village health workers in Uganda and worked in community health in Pakistan.

BANTU LANGUAGES
For “ Bantam” fowls see POULTRY. BANTIN, oi’ BANTING, the native name of the wild ox of Java, known to the Malays as sapi-utan, and in zoology as Bos (Bibos) sondaicus. The white patch on the rump distinguishes the bantin from its ally the gaur (q.v.). Bulls of the typical bantin of Java and Borneo are, when fully adult, completely black except for the white rump and legs, but the cows and young are rufous. In Burma the species is represented by the tsaine, or h’saine, in which the colour of the adult bulls is rufous fawn. Tame bantin are bred in Bali, near Java, and exported to Singapore. (See BOVIDAE.) William of Orange were landed here in 1697. There are several islands, the principal of which are Bear Island and Whiddy, off the town. Ruins of the so-called “fish palaces” testify to the failure of the pilchard fishery in the 18th century. BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages.’ 1 Bantu (literally Ba-ntu) is the most archaic and most widely spread term for” men,” “ mankind,” “people,” in these languages. It also indicates aptly the leading feature of this group of tongues, which is the governing of the unchangeable root by prefixes. The syllable -flu is nowhere found now standing alone, but it originally meant “ object,” or possibly “ person.’ It is also occasionally used as a relative pronoun—” that. ‘ “that which,” “he who.” Combined with different prefixes it has different meanin~s. Thus (in the purer forms of Bantu languages) muntu means ‘a man,” bantu means” men,” kintu means “ a thing,” bintu “ things,” kantu means “a little thing,” tuntu “little things,” and so on. This term Banlu has been often criticized, but no one has supplied a better, simpler designation for this section of Negro languages, and the name has now been definitely consecrated by usage.

African Mapmaking is Underappreciated
Geography
Bassett recently completed an extensive inventory of indigenous mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. What he discovered was a heritage rich in unusual artifacts and representations. Among the Luba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lukasa memory boards made of wood, shells, and beads enabled praise singers to recount the history of a specific Luba king. The neighboring Tabwa people charted the path of mythical ancestral heroes on the backs and chests of initiates to the Butwa Society. The kingdom of Bamum in western Cameroon in the early 20th century was the site of one of the most ambitious mapmaking enterprises. Led by King Njoya, the Bamum people developed an alphabet and then undertook a major topographic survey of the kingdom, involving 60 people who made 30 stops over 52 days. "The map's form and content nicely illustrate the political use of maps," says Bassett, noting that the king promoted his political goals of consolidation by presenting images of rule. by Holly Korab
