Extractions: Paulus Gerdes The following paper presents an introduction to the German language edition of the book "Sona Geometry: Reflections on the Sand Drawing Tradition of Peoples of Africa South of the Equator". The original edition was in three volumes in Portuguese (Universidade Pedagógica, Maputo, 1993/4): Volume 1 : Analysis and reconstruction; Volume 3 : Comparative analysis. The first volume has already been published in English (Universidade Pedagógica, Maputo, 1994). The three volumes have been published in French in 1995 under the title "Une Tradition Géométrique en Afrique - Les Dessins sur le Sable" (Éditions L'Harmattan, Paris / Montreal, 594 pp.). The German language edition "Ethnomathematik dargestellt am Beispiel der Sona Geometrie" (Spektrum Verlag, Berlin / Heidelberg / Oxford, 1997, 436 pp., ISBN: 3-8274-0201-8) contains the three volumes in one book and was enlarged by an introduction on ethnomathematics as a field of research. It has a preface by Harald Scheid and Erhard Scholz (Bergische Universität, Wuppertal). An earlier book, in German, by the author on ethnomathematics was published in 1990 under the title "Ethnogeometrie. Kulturanthropologische Beiträge zur Genese und Didaktik der Geometrie" (Verlag Franzbecker, Bad Salzdetfurth /Hildesheim, 360 pp., ISBN 3-88120-189-0). It contains a preface by Peter Damerow (Max Planck Institut für Bildesforschung, Berlin), and is reviewed by Bernhard Andelfinger in 'Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik' (ZDM, Karlsruhe, 94/1, 22-24). Related to the educational use of the sona sand drawing tradition, the author also published the following books:

Some suggest that Guinea might be derived from the ancient Niger River Basin trading center, Djenne. More likely it derives, through Portuguese usage, from the Berber Akal-n-Iguinawen (land of the blacks). Yet another possibility is that it comes from the word geenay, meaning women among the coastal Soussou, and that somehow this name came to be applied to a widespread area of the African Coast. Climatically all of Guinea shares two alternating seasons: a dry season (November to March) and a wet season (April to October). Rainfall varies from region to region with as much as 170 inches per year at Conakry on the coast to less than sixty inches a year in Upper Guinea. The rainfall in Middle Guinea ranges from 63 to 91 inches per year while some areas in the Forest Region have more than 100 inches of rain per year. Temperature ranges also vary according to the different regions. On the coast and in the Forest Region the temperature ranges around an average of 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The Fouta highland of Middle Guinea may experience January daytime temperatures of 86 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit while nighttime temperatures may dip below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Mid-day highs of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit are not uncommon in Upper Guinea during the dry season.

It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Sahara Desert on the north, the Gulf of Guinea on the south, and the eastern boundaries of the countries of Niger, Nigeria, and Cameroon on the east. The countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo comprise West Africa. PHYSICAL FEATURES AND CLIMATE OF WEST AFRICA West Africa is divided horizontally into two distinct areas. The first is the western portion of the Sudan, which, although hot and dry, contains arable grassland. The Western Sudan, which includes most of Senegambia, extends from the southern reaches of the Sahara Desert to south of the Niger River, and as far as Lake Chad in the east. The Niger, Gambia and Senegal Rivers are the three major bodies of water of this region. The swampy area between the Niger and Senegal Rivers, called the Wangara, was a major source of gold in medieval times. The second area is the Guinea Coast , which starts below the Niger River , where the tropical forest begins, and extends to the Gulf of Guinea . The Guinea Coast is a region dominated by year-round humid heat and dense tropical forests through which run the Volta and the Bandama Rivers . The Niger Delta is also an important geographical landmark of the Guinea Coast.

Empowerment Education: A Guide To Curriculum Reforms In Liberia country had a system of indigenous education, run contextfree communication while traditional peoples do not. the arithmetic concepts in kpelle culture were http://www.theperspective.org/education.html
Extractions: May 10, 2001 This article intends to establish some foundational and basic principles for curriculum reforms in Liberia. It is suggested that such reforms must be reflected at all levels of the education system. In a previous article in this magazine, I made reference to the need for an introduction of a core curriculum to promote consciousness-centered learning as a prelude to social transformation. I also intimated that such a core curriculum with its emphasis on building national character and a sense of civic purpose would contribute inordinately to making the ideal of a learning society a concrete reality. In Liberia as we know it today, there is a fundamental tension between what is and what ought to be. Such tension tends to permeate all aspects of national endeavors in the current political and institutional atmosphere. But this tension can be resolved. Given the dismal state of affairs in Liberia, what ought to be might indeed, only become a possibility within the context of a change process and far-reaching social transformation. It is imperative that such transformative process occurs in two mutually interdependent domains- the epistemic (knowledge) domain of reasoned discourse as well as the domain of social action. Both the epistemic domain and the domain of social action are intrinsically complementary, because reasoned discourse forms the basis for social action and transformative change. In the past many social theorists have contributed variously to this discussion of the relationship between knowledge and social action (see Bernstein, 1985, Bordieu, 1977, Bowles and Gintis,1976).
Qualitative Research Proposals indigenous peoples and Sustainability Cases and Actions, Utrecht indigenous KnowledgeSystems, Sciences and Technologies for Development in kpelle Culture, Ph http://www.tc.umn.edu/~musi0012/specimen.HTM
Extractions: Introduction Recent debates on sustainable development have addressed the social and cultural dimensions of sustainability but I argue for the need to reconceptualize sustainability in ways that consider historicizing the relationship between western irrigation technology and local systems of socio- economic sustainability. This preliminary study examines the socio-economic sustainability of an agricultural project in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe, where colonial and post-colonial states established smallholder irrigation farming in an attempt to increase the carrying capacity of rural areas by improving agricultural productivity using western forms of scientific irrigation technology, and to orient production towards marketing. My major hypothesis is that rich, middle and poor peasant women and men used their different experiences and practices of indigenous agricultural knowledge to influence and shape western scientific agricultural knowledge as they struggled to achieve socio- economic sustainability.
