    Extractions: Leslie Marmon Silko, epigraph to Ceremony Africans revere good stories and storytellers, as do most peoples around the world who are rooted in oral cultures and traditions. Ancient writing traditions do exist on the African continent, but most Africans today, as in the past, are primarily oral peoples, and their art forms are oral rather than literary. In contrast to written "literature," African "orature" (to use Kenyan novelist and critic Ngugi wa Thiong’o's phrase) is orally composed and transmitted, and often created to be verbally and communally performed as an integral part of dance and music. The Oral Arts of Africa are rich and varied, developing with the beginnings of African cultures, and they remain living traditions that continue to evolve and flourish today.

    Extractions: Keys to Understanding Contemporary Society Modern Nigeria has inherited a rich and often complex history. With the move to democracy, Nigerians look to retain their cultural roots along with modernity, joining together to bring peace and prosperity. The country’s three main ethnic groups are the Yoruba, the Igbo, and the Hausa, between them making Nigeria a meeting point of colorful, sometimes conflicting ethnic interests and identities. The country’s historical tapestry includes between 250 and 400 ethnic groups, their differences best defined by language. But even this seemingly definite trait provides only loose distinctions. Location and history are often as important in mapping Nigeria’s ethnic landscape. The nation’s official language is English. Government officials and many businessmen with at least secondary education typically speak it, as it is essential in cross-cultural communication. Pidgin – a mix of English and colloquial terms – has been widely spoken in many areas for more than a century. Nigerians are generally multilingual with at least three languages at their disposal, owing to a long history of cross-cultural and often transnational trade across a spectrum of ethnic groups.

    Extractions: One of the most exciting areas in the growth of African oral literary study within the last two decades has been the specialized interest in the continent's heroic epics: stories about great warriors, empire builders, and culture heroes like Sunjata among the Mandinka of Mali, Lianja among the Nkundo of Zaire, Shaka among the Zulu of South Africa, Ozidi among the Ijo of Nigeria's delta country, and many others. So widely has this interest growninvolving the collection of hitherto ignored epic texts and the critical study of themthat Indiana University Press, without doubt the sturdiest publisher of African studies in the United States, has seen fit to establish an African Epic Series to enshrine this body of work within the canons of higher education. With so much that has come to light, it is no longer possible to doubt, as was the case up to the 1970s, that the epic is a characteristic feature of Africa's oral traditions. And yet, if we took time to look beyond the walls of the academy, and projected our study of the epic within the larger context of the realities around us, we would find reason enough to temper our enthusiasm for this subject with a certain concern. In the more than three decades that African nations have been free from the colonial shackles that held them down for pretty much one century, most of them have been ruled by indigenous leaders who have done much worse to their people than the foreign usurpers. If we looked closely at the power profiles of these recent leaders, we would find them uncomfortably similar to the heroes we have grown accustomed to glorifying in our studies: leaders who held absolute power, exercising total proprietorship over the material and perhaps spiritual lives of those who lived under the shadow of their might.

    Extractions: TITLE OF PAPER : The Traditional Igbo Society: An appraisal of the basic beliefs and practices. INTRODUCTION The Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas are the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria. The Igbo speaking people of Nigeria are located in the south-east of Nigeria between latitude 5 to 7 degrees north and longitude 6 to 8 degrees east. They occupy an area of some 15,800 square miles [Uchendu,1965:1] The Igbo society exhibits a wide variety of physical features; the Niger River contributes to this diversity. The most important rivers -Niger, Imo, Anambra, and Ulasi flow from north to south thus indicating a steep northward gradient. Four distinct areas may be distinguished :the riverine, the delta, the central and the north eastern belts. Igboland has a tropical climate. The average temperature is about 80 degrees F, with an annual range of 5 and 10 .The rainy and dry seasons are well marked. The former begins in April and lasts to October, when the dry season commences. Rainfall is heavier in the South than in the North, many areas having more than 70 inches a year. When, and from where the lgbo came into their present territory is not known. Their origin is a subject of much speculation. The people have no common tradition of origin. It is for this reason that some western writers on the colonial era treated the lgbo as " people without history". Uchendu in his book The lgbo of Southeast Nigeria reacts to this assertion. The people with a culture are the people with some form of history. The lgbo have a culture ;they have also a history-an written history which it is the task of the culture historians to piece together[1965:2].

The questions address religion, female genital mutilation, geographical influences on migration patterns and other topics. Bibliography lists 2 sources. 5 pages. With the decline of agricultural price in the 1870’s and 1880’s that led to lower-class southern whites to join farmers throughout the country in populist political movements, political leaders sought to unite the racial lines in order to effect more votes from the black voters. This did not work and the populist revolt died away after 1896. This then refutes some of what society was attempting to resolve. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Mr. Reader was born in London in 1937. He lived and traveled in Africa for many years. Students are encouraged to read Mr. Reader's book. In the meantime, the following abstract highlights some of the most important trends and events detailed in his workevents that occurred in Africa from the geological birth of the continent almost 3 billion years ago to the mid-1990's. The student is directed to review the Definitions Companion and Questions Supplement accompanying this Abstract, which should make reading easier.

Central and southern Africa is a combination of jungle, mountains and wide-open ranges called savanna profound affect on African history. The Cradle of Life Recent research has shown Africa to be the cradle of life, providing the environment in which modern humans evolved. This development was closely associated with the changing environmental and climatic forces that, in turn, affected the food supply and the competition for survival.
