Extractions: Tribes: WOLOF The Wolof mostly inhabit the western areas of the country. Traditionally farmers and traders, the Wolof today controls a great deal of commerce. The Wolof language is used as a common tongue in many parts of Gambia often instead of English. The Wolof are almost exclusively Muslim. MANDINKA The Mandinka are the single largest group in Gambia, The Mandinka people are also called Mandingo, and are related to other Manding-speaking groups such as the Bambara of Mali, where they originate. They are thought to have migrated to the Senegambia region between the 13th and early 16th centuries, and to have brought Islam with them. Traditionally engaged in farming and fishing, most Mandinka people are Muslim, and they also have a strong musical tradition. Islamic feast days, such as the end of Ramadan, and family celebrations, such as a Wedding or circumcision, or even the arrival of a special guest, are often seen as very good reasons for some music and dancing. FULA The Fula are found across West Africa, as far east as Sudan and south into countries like Ghana and Nigeria, although they look on the Futa Toro region in northern Senegal as their cultural homeland. The Fula are also called Fulani and Fulbe. These names, as well as Fulfulde or Pulaar also knows their language.

The Cape Verde Islands population that claims ancestry from many different peoples. as the islands' mestiço(of indigenous and European their origins were the wolof, whose weavers http://people.bu.edu/cvsa/CVHC.html
Extractions: The Cape Verde Islands, a small West African country, composed of ten volcanic islands and five islets off the coast of Senegal. Introduction For more than 400 years, Portugal claimed the rocky, arid islands of Cape Verde. This long history of colonial rule permanently affected Cape Verdean culture, making the small country seem distinct from other African nations - "more European." But such a view ignores the shared ancestries and political struggles that link the islands to the mainland. Cape Verde is home to a population descended from free people and West African slaves as well as a diverse mix of peoples: Fula, Wolof, Papeis, Balanta, Bijago, Jalofa, Fulupe, Mandingo, Manjaco, Portuguese, Moroccan, Sephardic Jewish, Genoese, Lebanese, Chinese, Dutch, French, English, American, and Brazilian. The children of these settlers and passers-by forged a hybrid culture and language known as Crioulo (Portuguese for Creole), drawing upon the legacies brought to the islands by slavery and colonialism. The expansion of the slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean in the sixteenth century soon brought business and settlement to Cape Verde. Portugal made the islands its headquarters for its holdings on the Upper Guinea Coast, and by the sixteenth century was also using the region as a penal colony for convicts and political exiles. The islands were originally governed by the companhia system, a sort of feudal system in which individuals or the church oversaw small plantations where slaves, brought from mainland West Africa, cultivated cotton, sugar cane, and food crops. Early Cape Verdean society enjoyed considerable autonomy from the Portuguese monarchy, making it an attractive base to generations of traders and smugglers.

Extractions: When the Anastasis was first commissioned by YWAM back in the early 80s there was uncertainty about exactly what the ship should do. Don Stephens and those who had the original vision for the Anastasis knew only that God wanted them to use the ship as a tool to help the poor and needy of the world, but exactly what that meant was not clear. The history of the early days of the Anastasis is documented in various books, including Is That Really You God? (Loren Cunningham), Mandate for Mercy (Don Stephens) and Confessions of a Seasick Doctor (Christine Aroney-Sine). It was not until the nineties that the Anastasis ministry settled into what it has now become - a ministry with a focus on medical and development work in West Africa. These have been done within the context of showing the character of God as Christians understand him - a God who cares for the poor and needy regardless of who they are, what they believe, where they live. For a brief outline of the ministry locations of Anastasis since it has made West Africa its focus click here Further down this page you will find some information on: The region of West Africa is usually thought of as consisting of 16 countries: these can be divided into four groups. First, across the top from west to east are Mauritania, Mali and Niger. Second, down the Atlantic coast from north to south are Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Third, along the southern coast from west to east are Cote d'Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Ghana and Nigeria. And finally, in the middle is Burkino Faso and off the coast are the Cape Verde Islands.

Extractions: Africa The African continent, stretching from the Sahara desert in the north to the Cape of Good Hope in the south, is an immense and diverse region of the world. It is in Africa that homo sapiens sapiens Beginning in the late 15th century, and continuing until well into the 19th century, Africa was subjected to the slave trade. Following the European discovery and conquest of the Americas, the various European colonizers particularly Portugal, France, and England began the large-scale purchase of millions of Africans via cooperative states located along the Atlantic coast. From European outposts, slaves were shipped out in the millions and sold to the highest bidder in the Americas. At least ten million Africans, taken all along the African coast from West Africa to Angola , may have been shipped to the Americas. Despite appalling mortality rates, enough Africans survived particularly in northern Brazil , the North American mainland, and the Caribbean to eventually create an African diaspora in their new homeland. Even though the slave trade provided some advantages to those Africans who collaborated with European slavers, in the long run it depopulated many of the states of the West African interior, and left Africa exposed to foreign imperialists. Centuries of contact and exchange between Europeans and Africans had culminated by the mid-19th century in the large-scale European colonization of Africa. Although Britain's acquisition of the Cape Province could be used to define British as the first modern colonial power in Africa, France actually was the first European state to embark on the colonization of all of Africa, particularly under the
Extractions: AFRICAN BY NATURE Presents Open Our Eyes AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE INCAPABLE OF MIGRATION by Keith W. Jones African people are incapable of migration. That is an idea that many scholars would still like to have us people of African descent believe. I find it disappointing that even today, as we transition to a new millennium, this concept is still being pushed, taught, and written about. The static African concept, as I call it, is implied in our literature, newspapers, and cinema, and is disseminated during television broadcasts. One possible result of this concept is that, being incapable of movement might be linked to being incapable of accomplishment. That is, if one cannot think well enough to move from one location to a better location, even though all of his or her muscles are fully functional, then how can one possibly think well enough to develop technology, which will make life easier for himself or herself. I believe that what is most psychologically damaging, though, for people of African descent, are the Eurocentric and ethnocentric falsehoods still disseminated in most of the textbooks used in schools today, by our children and young adults. Put another way, when African American children and young adults go to school, they still are taught and they still read about untruths regarding the lack of scientific, intellectual, and technological accomplishments made by people of African descent. These untruths are in addition to what these young people are learning about the so-called mental and intellectual inferiority of African peoples to other ethnic groups. However, I am getting ahead of myself.

Extractions: W herever people gather in the poor fishing villages of Costa Chica on Mexico's southwest coastin their homes, on the streets, in the town squares during festivalssomeone is likely to step forward and start singing. These impromptu performers regale their audience with songs of romance, tragedy, comedy, and social protest, all inspired by local events and characters. At the heart of the songs, called "corridos," is a sense of human dignity and a desire for freedom rooted in the lives and history of the people of Costa Chica, many of whom are descendants of escaped slaves. The corridos reflect oral traditions inherited from Africa. The words are improvised, and a corrido that brings applause is apt to be committed to memory, to be sung again and again as an oral chronicle of local life. The lyrics are also rich in symbols, a tradition that may have started when singers among the first slaves invented "code words" to protest the cruelties of their masters.

MONGOLIANS Wolof of West Africa The Wolof People are an exciting and vivacious people who are in need the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Over the years mission efforts have focused on the Wolof, but have been unsuccessful in seeing indigenous churches planted. Many of the Wolof live in remote villages miles from churches and Christians. It has been said that the Wolof live in the most open Muslim nations, but are the most resistant to the Gospel. We believe their destiny is about to change. Jesus Christ is worthy of the Wolof's worship. As a base we have adopted and committed 20 years to reaching the Wolof. It is our goal to see indigenous churches planted so that each believer will have the opportunity to worship in their own language and culture. Over time we will be providing prayer, short-term teams and finances to accomplish this mission. We are working in conjunction with missionaries and churches in Africa. We want you to join us. Will you pray with us for the Wolof?
