Extractions: This year the tercentenary of diplomatic relations between Ghana and the Netherlands is being celebrated, both in Ghana and in the Netherlands. Events have been organized to inform the Dutch public, the media, civil society and politicians about what Ghana has to offer and to strengthen public support for development cooperation ( www.ghana300holland.nl) OPAC ). For more information about this dossier please contact us by email at asclibrary@fsw.leidenuniv.nl or phone (+31 (0)71 527 3354). The celebrations to mark 300 years of diplomatic relations between Ghana and the Netherlands include a visit by the King of the Asante (in English: Ashanti), Osei Tutu II, to the Netherlands in June 2002. Osei Tutu is the traditional leader of the Asante, the largest ethnic group in Ghana and became king in 1999 after the death of Nana Opoku Ware II. The Asante were one of the Akan-speaking peoples who settled in the forest region of modern Ghana between the 11thand 13th centuries. The separate Asante chiefdoms were united by Osei Tutu in the 1670s and in 1696 he took the title of Asantehene (king) and founded the Asante empire. Ghana Source: His nation rapidly became more powerful by forming alliances with neighboring peoples, leading to the formation of the Ashanti Union around 1700. He built a capital, Kumasi, and created the legend of the Golden Stool to legitimize his rule. The throne became the symbol of Ashanti authority. By 1750 the Asante Empire was the largest and most powerful state in the region. The empire's wealth and prosperity was based on mining and trading in gold and trading in slaves. The Asante also became famous for woodcarvings, furniture, and their brightly coloured woven cloth, called 'kente'. The kingdom continued to expand until, under King Osei Bonsu (1801-1824), Asante territory covered nearly all of present-day Ghana.

Extractions: Spanish Heritage and the Development of Modern Latin America Contrary to the belief that Hispanics/Latinos are recent arrivals to the United States, Hispanic presence in the U.S. dates back to the early 1500's. Spanish explorers preceded the arrival of the Pilgrims to North America by 107 years. One of the first Spanish explorations of North America took place on April 2, 1513 by Juan Ponce de Leon (Puerto Rico's first Spanish colonial governor) who explored and named Florida in his first of various attempts to colonize the estimated 100,000 Native Americans of Florida. Natives of Puerto Rico had described this vast land to the north to him. In 1520, Ponce de Leon made his last journey to colonize the American Indians of the peninsula. He died in Cuba as a result of an arrow wound he received in Florida. His remains are buried in Puerto Rico (Kanellos, 1997). Many of the western and southern states in the U.S. were settled by the Spaniards as early as 1519, when Alonso Alvarez de Pineda first arrived on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and claimed Texas for Spain. The territory, which covered approximately 26 states, including California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Texas, was originally Spanish. Later, Mexico possessed much of that land. After the U.S.-Mexico War of the 1840's, those territories became part of the United States. That is why many Mexicans, Mexican-Americans and Hispanic families claim their heritage in North America to before the founding of the United States (Kanellos, 1997). The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1868, declared all people of Hispanic descent born in the United States U.S. citizens (Kanellos, 1997).

Chapter Three An Introduction To Colono Ware between African Americans, Europeans, and indigenous peoples occurred South America,people of indigenous, Spanish, and such as the asante, pottery manufacture http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/9412/ch3.html
Extractions: Colono Ware is concentrated in certain areas of the Southeast. Much of the Colono Ware in the United States comes from Florida, from Spanish-Native American settlements, and from South Carolina, from plantation contexts. Colono Ware from Virginia and Maryland occurs less often, and Colono Ware is rarely found in Georgia (Ferguson 1992b:36-37). Scholars theorize that the lack of Colono Ware in Georgia is due to the different origins of slaves brought there, possibly from African locations where there was little history of pottery making (William H. Adams, 1995, pers. comm.), or the fact that slavery began later in Georgia. In Virginia, European forms of Colono Ware such as plates, pipkins, teapots, and chamber pots are common (Ferguson 1992b:44-48). Much of the Virginia Colono Ware was burnished, apparently to give it a smooth, thin appearance. Attached handles and notching, scalloping, and fluting on vessel rims are all reminiscent of the decorative techniques found on imported European ceramics (Ferguson 1992b:52). Evidence for plantation manufacture of Colono Ware in Virginia is rare, suggesting that much of it was manufactured by Native Americans and traded. However, Ferguson (1992b:49-50) cautions that African Americans were present in many Native American communities, and their influence on pottery should not be discounted.

It will not cover all the arts of all the peoples of Africa, Oceania, and the Native Americas. Rather, certain aspects of selected cultural traditions will he examined in order to establish a foundation for advanced upper division study of visual culture in these three areas of the world. In addition to learning about a number of specific cultural groups at particular historical moments, our goal is to understand more fully how art historical and anthropological methodologies, theories, and practices structure our encounters with the cultural materials of Africans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans.

All other assigned readings are on reserve at the library. Additionally, there are a number of articles and books that have been placed on reserve in the library for supplementary reading. CLASS PARTICIPATION: You are expected to attend all class sessions and to turn in assignments on the assigned date. 2 points will be deducted for each day after more than 2 absences.

Extractions: Stereotypes and distortions "The role of communication and media in the process of development should not be underestimated, nor [should] the function of media as instruments for the citizen's active participation in society. Political and educational systems need to recognize th eir obligations to promote in their citizens a critical understanding of the phenomena of communication." UNESCO declaration issued in 1982 at the International Symposium on Media Education (Grunwald, Germany) W hen one curriculum developer was asked if she intended to produce educational packets on African nations similar to ones she had already published on the Philippines and China, she pointed to a packet on world hunger and responded, "We already have an Africa packet." The educator's response illustrates two not-uncommon problems with the way Africa is perceived. The first is that the African continentwith its 53 countriesis seen to be equivalent to individual nations in other parts of the world (i.e., Afr ica-Philippines or Africa-China). The second problem is that Africa's nations and peoples are often viewed through the lens of dominant media images such as hunger, famine, or refugees. The resource materials in this chapter examine critically the various ways in which Africa has been portrayed in the media. They also describe efforts to foster "media literacy" in African nations and elsewhere.
