Extractions: Contents IK Monitor 6(2) IKDM Homepage ikdm@nuffic.nl Learning local knowledge of soils: a focus on methodology by Deirdre M. Birmingham. There is little published literature on methods for studying local knowledge of soils. This scarcity is surprising, given that local knowledge is increasingly recognized as necessary for effective agricultural and rural development, and the livelihood of farmers. This article describes and analyzes the approach and methodologies used in recovering local knowledge of soil and land typologies among two ethnic groups in two different agroecological zones in West Africa. This analysis is of particular importance, as the manner in which research is carried out is critical to the quality and type of results obtained. Not only the results should be published, but also an analysis of the methods used, with a view to improving future research. I chose two villages in each of two agroecological zones, each inhabited by an ethnic group indigenous to that zone. In each of these four villages the West Africa Rice Development Association (WARDA), with whom I did this research, conducts village-level research on rice production systems. WARDA also participates in an agroecological characterization of inland valleys in West Africa. The use of these sites allowed me to compare my results with those of socioeconomic studies conducted by WARDA, and also with the findings of agroecological characterization (Windmeijer et al. 1994).

Generally African art means sub-Saharan art, with the cultures of Africa's northern parts typically referred to as Egyptian and North African. Making generalizations about the visual culture of any group of people is a crude endeavor, especially with a culture as diverse as Africa's.

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.

Extractions: Western Africa is the home of many of the sculptural traditions for which African art has become internationally known. Wood carving is especially prominent in Cote d'Ivoire, in Sierra Leone and in Nigeria. Western Africa also claims an extensive range of other art forms, including clay sculpture, bronze casting, jewelry, and weaving. Some of these traditions are driven by religious practices in agricultural societies, others by the patronage of kings. The Senufo people of the Cote d'Ivoire make a staff with a female figure at the top, symbolizing both the power of humans to reproduce and the fertility of the soil. Ghana is well known for its Kente cloth, carved wooden stools, gold jewelry, and wood carvings. In days past, the kings of Ghana wore so much gold that they inspired the saying: "Great men move slowly."

Extractions: Sample Research Proposal You may also, depending on the nature of your research project/paper, append a brief bibliography of relevantsources that will inform your paper. Remember DEADLINES, as specified in IMPORTANT DATES section of the syllabus. State the topic in a clear, precise manner. Sometimes a subtitle is helpful in breaking down or clarifying down the subject further, for example: (a) PROTEST SONGS AS A MEDIUM FOR COMMUNICATING WORKERS' GRIEVANCES DURING THEDEPRESSION: A STUDY OF FIFTEEN LYRICS OR: (b) THE INFLUENCE OF CHURCH HYMNS ON PROTEST SONGS OF THE DEPRESSION: A STUDY OFFIFTEEN LYRICS The aim of this project is to investigate the verbal content of fifteen protest songs selected from the Depression (ca. 1927-1933) era, with focus on how the messages of the songs reflect workers experiences and expectations. In addition, the study will examine specific performance techniques employed in order to impress the messages on the audiences. A basic assumption of this project is that the situation of protest is a socially significant one and that the song texts and manner of performance will be influenced in many ways by the uniqueness of the situation. [Or: A basic hypothesis of this project is that there is a relationship between the situation of protest and the song texts, including the manner in which they are performed.]
Extractions: and 'European Music' by Philip Tagg The first version of this text was finished on 4 May 1987 and sent to certain popular music research colleagues for feedback. It was re-edited on 14 June 1987 and sent to Popular Music (Cambridge University Press) who published it in volume 8/3 (1989, pp. 285-298). This open letter was intended as a debate article, directed primarily at white European and North American popular music research colleagues. Please note that the Soviet Union still existed in 1987 and that it was then still politically acceptable to say 'Afro-American'. Contents Preliminaries/Why? 'Black music' and 'white music' Common sense definitions 'Black' as some black people and not others ... Endnotes Over the last few years I have found myself reacting with increasing irritation every time I stumble across terms like 'black music', 'white music', 'Afro-American music' and 'European music' in writings and discussions about popular music. Apart from hearing myself slip up on a few occasions, I have seen or heard one or more of these terms used or misused by students and by trusted and less trusted colleagues alike. I have been just as worried every time. Hence this letter which I have written with these mainly white European or North American students, friends and colleagues in mind. Due to the sensitivity of matters cultural, ethnic and racial, I have chosen to write down what I want to say in the form of a letter. It is
