FAA Soldiers Sell Stolen Cattle Human rights monitors in the Ohangwena Region last week reported that on May 11, 2001, three (3) Namibians were arrested and detained after buying cattle from Angolan FAA soldiers at Ohehonge village, 57 km northeast of Eenhana, in the said Region. They are: Elia NDEULITA (45) a resident of Ohameva village, some 75 km east of Eenhana, Paulus HAMWAANYENA, (age unknown), a resident of Omahalumeya village, 76 km east of Eenhana and Johannes HAIDUWA (30) a resident of Oukala village, 16 km east of Eenhana. After purchasing the cattle, the trio were allegedly issued with permits by FAA soldiers and they also obtained another permit issued by a certain Abner, said to be Headman of Onakalunga village, 10 km east of Eenhana. Ndeulita informed human rights monitors that he spent N$3 000 on three heads of cattle. Altogether, they bought seven (7) cattle in total. This happened between May 9 and 10, 2001. While herding their cattle to their home villages they were approached by a stranger who introduced himself as coming from Okeendediva village, some 17km northeast of the border from Eenhana. This unidentified stranger claimed that four (4) of the cattle in question were his own. The trio, however, explained that they bought the cattle from FAA soldiers.

Extractions: November 2 - December 1, 2001 The Maravi peoples, who comprise three main mask-producing groups (Chewa, Nyanja, and Manganja), have been settled in the region of Malawi since at least 1550. Masks were made by the mens' secret society, called Nyau, to which all men belonged. Nyau is thought to have existed for several centuries among the Chewa, the senior branch of the Maravi, before spreading to the southernmost Maravi, the Mang'anja, after 1875. The majority of the masks on exhibition were collected in the Chewa heartland between the 1950s and early 1980s, but made considerably earlier. During the mid-1800s, the Maravi peoples were invaded by the warlike Ngoni, who fled Shaka's Zulu Kingdom in South Africa, and by Muslim slave traders, who decimated and depopulated the region. In the 1860s David Livingston estimated that 19,000 slaves from Malawi were exported from Zanzibar each year, and it is estimated that a far larger number of captives died annually in the caravans bound for the coast. The missionaries who followed in Livingstone's footsteps established a strong foothold in Malawi. Christianity was a mixed blessing, because it combated both slavery and indigenous tradition. As Christianity made inroads, particularly in the 20th century, men refused to join Nyau, and compulsory membership could no longer be enforced. Among Maravi, men governed the spiritual realm of death and the ancestors through Nyau, while women controlled life and regeneration. The Nyau Society performed both wooden and ephemeral masks during initiations, funerals, and at certain other important events. Nyau performances allowed the worlds of the living and the dead to interact during several days of festivities. Rules governed when each mask appeared, and the movements and songs it performed. All of these rules and the making and storage of the masks were strictly secret.

From the account in Likota lya Bankoya , Shamamano emerges as a great warrior and resourceful adventurer, and also as a usurper, who only under the protection of Lewanika managed to revive the Kahare name to which he was related not as a sisters son, but only as a daughters son, i.e. outside the ordinary line of dynastic succession. A century of chiefs rule by members of Shamamanos patri-segment, in a general context of the Lozi indigenous administration and the colonial and post-colonial state favouring patrilineal succession, has created such an image of self-evident legitimacy for the current Kahare line that oral traditions dwelling on the irregularity of Shamamanos accession are completely suppressed at the Kahare court today. However, there is in Kahares area and among urban migrants hailing from there a noticeable undercurrent of traditions in which this legitimacy is challenged, and rival claims to the Kahare kingship are entertained.

Ubuyile - Jazz coming home radio documentaries Past, present and future are inextricably linked. And the music of Africa reflects this in its experiences and realities. There are some exciting archives that capture this, private collections that represent it and slowly fading oral histories that tell of all the pains, tragedies and triumphs. In the new urban culture during the fifties in the copper mining towns of Katanga province in southern Congo and on the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, the guitar became an important status symbol. The Katanga guitar style came from the rich likembe tradition of the Luba peoples, whereas on the Zambian Copperbelt the guitar songs are very diverse - being either traditionally based or heavily influenced by the mainly American music, popular in the fifties, played by the radio station specifically set up for African broadcasts. An exciting document, with some famous names such as Mwenda Jean Bosco and George Sibanda, of the emergence of a new sound.

Extractions: "[The] Father brought salt with him, he poured it on the hands and [the village people] tasted it. He gave them rice, and they thought it was ants' eggs. He gave them soap, and they cooked it. When they took it out [of the pot] it was melting. And he gave them boots, and they thought it was mermaid's legs, so they cooked it. After cooking, they took it out to eat it, but it was really hard [so] they said: "the mermaid's leg is too hard to eat!" This story is about the first white missionaries in the Mekeo village Eboa in lowland Papua New Guinea. I heard it told by the clan chief Opu Ame in 1991. As always when this story was told, it caused great amusement among those listening. It describes how the grandparents of today's villagers had their first inexperienced encounter with the white people's things at the turn of the century. The local description of how the villagers were unable to use the foreign goods for their intended purposes seems familiar. It seems to accord with an idea commonly held among Westerners of a contradiction between western products and people living in what is often called tribal or traditional societies. We shall, however, see later that the story of strangeness and inexperience is certainly not the only way in which the Mekeo describe their relationship to imported products. These and other examples from Mexico, Africa, and Europe are presented in order to shed light on some of the implicit expectations we as Westerners may often have of certain objects.

Their analysis includes all aspects of Maya elite life. Musical practices, including dance, were open to discussion. Among one of the book s color plates was one polychrome vase, on which was depicted a dancer and two instrumentalists. The caption for "Figure 11" reads, simply, "Dance with drums, string instrument, and conch trumpet" (Schele & Mathews 1998:Figure 11). This is the vase designated by Justin Kerr as his vase number K5233, MS Number 1720. Added to his database in 1996, the vase is described as showing "A ruler dancing while looking into a mirror. He is accompanied by two musicians who play a stringed instrument and a rasca.

Extractions: February 17, 1983 Feature It was with some trepidation that I flew to the Angolan capital, Luanda, in September. The last time I had visited the country, in early 1976, I had been a journalist traveling with the "wrong" side. I had accompanied UNITA, the movement led by the bearded guerrilla intellectual Dr. Jonas Savimbi, a man usually called "charismatic" by his friends and a "South African puppet" by his enemies, who now rule in Luanda. In those days, the Portuguese ruling power had left with disgracefully indecent haste only a few months before. About 400,000 Portuguese whites had fled in panic (the exact figure is impossible to verify, estimates varying widely). Some of them, in desperate bitterness, smashed all that they left behind, even their washbasins. The huge country was left in an economic and political shambles. None of the three nationalist movements could agree upon which one should take over. In any event, the South Africans, having engaged in little military action of any ferocity, after a quick advance up the coastline eventually decided to leave; the Cubans stayed.

Extractions: February Conference Was a Great Success The recent cross-area studies international environment conference, held February 19-20, 1999, at the Kansas Union, was a great learning experience for all involved. This premier collaboration among KU's four area studies centers provided a venue for each world area to participate in the planning, presenting, and audience participation. The event's success can be attributed to the variety of the information and speakers' presentation styles. There was something for everyone. The event began Friday evening with a keynote presentation by Dr. Karl Zimmerer, Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Zimmerer's remarks, "Global-Local Trends and New Landscape Ecologies: Prospects for Conservation-with-Development," tackled the challenge of an academic attempting to speak to a general level audience. Many in the audience learned from Zimmerer's geography background, others were able to appreciate his interpretation of specific information into lay terms.
