Traditions of migration are most common and useful in understanding a great deal of African history particularly the emergence of dynasties and interactions between different groups. The movement of people contributed to the spread of new ideas and technology. There is a degree of similarity between widely separated societies.

Extractions: This survey of African photographers accompanies an exhibit of the same name at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The production quality is excellent, as is the selection of photographs (from museums, archives, and private collections). Each of 30 African photographers (some of them Afrikaners and other Caucasians) from many religions and nationalities are represented by a small sampling of his of her diverse output, only hinting at the work being done in Africa during the last half of this century. For more than 20 years, Maitre has made sub-Saharan Africa his beat, producing rhapsodically beautiful pictures while frankly documenting the vast subcontinent's political turbulence. His photos ravish the senses because of his painterly handling of light and color, regardless whether what they depict is chilling, endearing, fascinating, or merely reportorial. Maitre displays the pictures geographically, in four sections simply called "Western Africa," "Central Africa," "Eastern Africa," and "Southern Africa."

Extractions: Gross geography often has nothing to do with cultural lines. That is, the fact that Africa can be easily delimited as a continent by the Suez canal does not mean that it does not consist of several cultural or even racial zones at different epochs. Especially, up until about 600 CE Northern Africa was racially as well as culturally distinct from Sub-Saharan (black) Africa. While there was a Nubian conquest of Egypt, it was fairly short lived, temporarily replaced but did not breed out the uppermost classes, and the Egyptians remained a Semitic rather than Negroid people. Remarks about "Cleopatra being black" are simply silly, since she wasn't even Egyptian, but Macedonian Greek of an inbred royal line, with a narrow, prominently bridged nose. The Tuaregs still show the strongly Europid background of the Libyans and Numidians, who absorbed the Vandals as well. This is primarily a bibliography for Sub-Saharan Africa, which had often more contact with Arabia or India than with its own northern shore. While it will include the Tuareg and the Meroitic Empire, you will have to go to other bibliographies for the earlier peoples of North Africa. Search for Books at

This page may not appear properly. www.Stardog2012.net UFOlogy 101 - The Stardog Overview It is my sincere and exhaustively researched opinion that one cannot even begin to make sense of what is happening on Planet Earth without understanding the UFO phenomenon. But there is such an extensive amount of information out there, that the beginning UFOlogist can easily feel overwhelmed by it all. Another problem is that some of the information is indeed bogus - there's tons of disinfo and misinformation out there. Therefore it is up to the individual seeker to discern which information seems logical and resonates with truth. The key to sorting through all this information is not to try and take it in all at once - UFOlogy is a cumulative process. Ever since my original UFO sighting in Sedona, AZ in the spring of 1997 - see The Secret Origin of Agent Stardog - I have endeavored to research EVERY aspect of the phenomenon and it is this cumulative research, along with the inner knowings that began activating in my consciousness in 1997, which formulates my views.

Extractions: Pounded yams and Injera African women artists in Latin America? Yes, especially in Brazil, Nicaragua, and the Caribbean nations of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and Grenada. The Afro-Latin heritage, due to the infamous 16th century slave trade, added another cultural layer to Latin America s indigenous roots modified by Spanish colonialism. Intrigued by the artists and their work, I wanted to continue my research in Africa. My contact was Professor Solomon Wangbogie from the University of Benin in Nigeria. He was also a member of the International Society for Education Through the Arts and had responded to my letter of inquiry, "Come to Africa, and I will introduce you to some of Nigeria's wonderful women artists." I did, and he did. I was amazed by the monumental bronze and cement sculptural forms of Princess Elizabeth Olowu, the painted fabrics of Yoruba myths and legends by Nicki Davis, and Susan Wenger's mythical Osun shrine that evolved from Yoruba traditional beliefs. I continued my annual travels from 1986 to 1990 and found many more traditional and modern women artists to interview in Mali, Senegal, Morocco, the Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Egypt. Their art became visible in the U.S. with the publication of

Extractions: History runs deep in Mali. In the 13th century, long before French colonizers arrived, the peaceful and productive Malian Empire spread through much of today's West Africa, far beyond the country's present borders. Many different ethnic groups came together under a visionary Manding king, Sunjata Keita, to control the trans-Saharan trade of salt and gold. The empire enjoyed two centuries of peace and glory, and that golden era lives on today in songs and stories. Contemporary Mali is far poorer and more challenged than the Empire at its height, or indeed than the Songhai and Bambara kingdoms that followed Mali and preceded the French colonial era. The Manding now rub shoulders and share scant resources with Fulani (Peul), Bambara, Bobo, Dogon, Tamascheck, Soninke, Songhoi, Tuareg and other peoples. But recalling the inclusive vision of Sunjata, Malians mostly get along and show a respect for cultural diversity unusual in modern Africa. Today, Mali can boast a dazzling variety of ethnic music fusions styles, from the hunter-derived Wassoulou sound of the south, to Bambara, Bobo and Senufo pop from the east, to the other-worldly northern styles, epitomized in the music of Ali Farka Toure. In part because most of these ethnic styles use five-note (pentatonic) scales, listeners find in them clear links to American blues. This is a complex and mysterious subject as full of surprising twists and turns as Mali's seemingly endless stream of pentatonic music styles.
