Extractions: Vice-President of Africa Region th March 1999 Dear Mr Wolfensohn, Over the past several months, in a number of meetings and workshops both in the US and Chad, development and environment NGOs have put questions to the World Banks representatives about the details of the planned Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Project. We have received a great deal of information from the Bank in response to our questions. Unfortunately, however, we have yet to receive precise answers to our specific questions. These questions are vital to the well-being of the peoples of Chad and Cameroon and to the health of their environment. We must therefore request, once again, that the World Bank answer our questions. In order to facilitate this process, we are attaching these questions in the form of a list. One of the major problems NGOs have encountered in the process of discussing the Project with both the Bank and Exxon is that we are regularly put off by excuses of insufficient information or confidentiality, and while we are trying to obtain information from other quarters, work on the Project goes forward (e.g., clearing, compensation, construction). We would therefore ask that the Bank respond to our questions with precise answers by end of March 1999 at the latest. In those cases where no response to a question is forthcoming, we will have to assume a refusal to share information.

Extractions: Selected New Books Editor's Comments The past quarter has had more than its share of sad news. Two colleagues died unexpectedly and business will not go on as usual. The Spring meeting at Syracuse was canceled because of the death of Meseratch Zecharias, our host. John Howells death deprives us of his leadership with CRL projects and electronic publishing. I first met Meseratch during the 1973 ASA meeting in Syracuse, while visiting a classmate from the University of Wisconsin. While her other duties limited our contacts until the 1990s, she impressed me as a positive and thoughtful person. John Howell said we first met in the late 1960s, when he was in the African language and literature program in Madison. That memory is vague; but no one could miss his presence and contributions with ALC over the past 15 years. One of my few achievements as chair of CAMP in 1988-90 was to recruit the University of Iowa as a member and John as the new chair. I will miss his wide range of interests, his persistence, and his ability to stay on good terms with everyone. Further details can be found in ALC/CAMP NEWS.

Extractions: Below is more in depth info on incentives and the activities of the ICBG.... 1. THE POPULATION OF SURINAME Suriname's indigenous inhabitants are Amerindians. Little is known about their history, but it is believed that there were some 70,000 Amerindians in Suriname by the end of the fifteenth century. Rocks in some rivers in the interior show the presence of Amerindians in pre-Columbian times. These grinding grooves have been caused by the sharpening of their stone axes. There are now at least nine tribes, of which two live in the coastal area, and three to seven in the interior. About 3% of the population consists of indigenous peoples. Since around 1660 plantation slaves fled and hid themselves in the dense jungle. These bushnegroes, or maroons, at present form six tribes, comprising10% of the population. Because they live in relative isolation in the rather inaccessible interior, their society is, one might state, a left over of old African culture, adapted to a Neotropical environment. Ten years after slavery was abolished in 1863, indentured labourers were brought to Suriname from the British Indies primarily from the provinces around the Ganges basin. Now, some 137 years later, descendants of these people (in Suriname called Hindustani) constitute more than 37% of the Surinamese population. They live in various religious communities and have maintained quite a lot of their original culture and traditions.

Should we secure loose and detached fragments of sacrificial patination on a Bamana Komo headdress (fig. 3), when the amount and thickness of this incrustation (fig. 4) are directly related to the degree and effectiveness of its cultural power? How do we justify the public exhibition of an Igala shrine figure (fig. 9), which would have been restricted from public view and seen only by people of a specific age, sex, or initiate? Fig. 1.

Extractions: NETWORKING FOR RESULTS Here are several tips for how and where People Group Teams can get the media resources that they need for advocacy. 1. Churches with TV ministries can use stock footage or slides to prepare appropriate media. Using available resources from the IMB, Caleb Project and other sources is a great way to begin, but limited in the long-term People Group promotion advocacy effort. Instead, direct involvement, travel and local documentation by the countries within which promotion needs to occur, whenever possible, involves more people in the Work. 2. Individuals with production skills and abilities can provide "masters" or "color separations" for the Team to print or duplicate and distribute. 3. Request career or ISC (2 year) personnel to produce the resources necessary for your People Group Team(s). This still lacks the stateside relay or contact, but could provide field-specific resources. Personnel could be requested on a region-wide basis or requested for each team as demand increases. Equipment can be rented or loaned. 4. People Group Teams can raise funds or budget to have the advocacy media produced. Hired workers can provide an extremely professional collection of resources since it is their job to please.

I'm afraid I didn't make clear in the query that I was refering to basic, "neutral" terms for other ethnic groups, not outright insults, and that only ethnicity/race was relevant to my study.

The cease- fire, originally set to expire July 28, has allowed international health workers to implement interventions to prevent Guinea worm disease, river blindness, and other diseases. During the trip, President Carter delivered peace talk invitations from President Moi to the Sudanese government, Sudanese People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), and the Southern Sudanese Independence Movement/Army (SSIM/A). All sides accepted the invitations for peace talks to begin soon in Nairobi.

Extractions: Women in African literature Anthonia C. Kalu Although contemporary African literary criticism is a product of Africas contact with the West, evaluation and analyses relevant to the African experience must be derived from methods intrinsic to African art traditions. The dynamism evident in African life today emanates from traditional consciousness which embeds the arts in all aspects of life. In pre-colonial Africa, this complex relationship mandated an incessant search for ways to improve current situations and impacted creativity in all areas of life. Colonial interference encouraged separation from African traditional reality and existence and resulted in cultural, social, political and other forms of disarticulation. According to Ngugi wa Thiongo (1972), the forced disengagement from familiar ways of knowing was recorded in narrative form: You know the popular story among our people that the Mubia told the people to shut their eyes in prayer, and when later they opened their eyes, the land was taken. And then, so the story goes, the Mubia told them not to worry about those worldly things which could be eaten by moth; and they sang: Thi ino ti yakwa ndi nwihitukiri (this world is not my home, I am only a pilgrim)(33).
