Extractions: Organizations Which do I use Ethno graphy or Ethno logy While the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably they are subtly different. Ethno logy is the study of cultures in an effort to explain their similarities and differences. The term combines ethnos, race or people, and logia , science or theory, ethnology literally translated means "science or theory of peoples". Meanwhile, Ethno graphy is a qualitative description of a culture based on the researcher's observation, and sometimes immersion into the culture. The term combines ethnos, race or people, and graph , writing or picture, ethnography literally translated means "writing or picture of peoples". Therefore, ethno graphy provides descriptive analysis of culture(s) and ethnology provides the theoretical analysis.

Extractions: Peanuts are a main export crop among states in the Sahel, but peanut farming is difficult for the environment because: Hint (A) peanuts deplete key nutrients out of the soil, forcing farmers to continually seek new land. (B) peanuts grow underground, requiring soil to be overturned at harvest time when dry winds are more likely to carry away fine topsoil. (C) peanut roots hold in topsoil, creating mud during the rainy season that clogs irrigation systems and increases risks of mudslides. A and B only All of the answers provided. Since most household energy needs (cooking, heating, etc.) are met by burning wood, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT: Hint Women and children in some areas spend hours each day gathering wood for fuel. In some communities, village women have organized into groups to plant trees to meet future energy needs.

Extractions: This reference work provides a succinct account of the development of African society from the first appearance of man to the complex polity of today. Kingdoms and Empires are only part of the story. The Atlas covers the development of modern man, the differentiation and spread of African languages, the first crossings of the Sahara, the exploration of the Niger, and the search for 'the fountains of the Nile'. Gold and ivory lure traders from far away; Christendom and Islam compete for African attention. Colin McEvedy outlines this progress with the aid of sixty maps and a clear, concise text. Though his synthesis will be especially useful to those involved in the teaching of African history, its broad perspectives will undoubtedly appeal also to the general reader. 144 pages, and sixty maps.

Extractions: Fax: 305-348-3561 I teach classes in the history, archaeology, and culture of Africa, and in comparative world civilizations. My research and teaching are interdisciplinary, intersecting the traditional boundaries of history, archaeology, and anthropology. Convinced that the historical experience of Africa can be assessed from diverse sources, my pursuit of interdisciplinary approach to cultural historical analysis makes me aware of the many theatres in which history has been and is being produced, (re)enacted, and lived. Research I have conducted research in Nigeria (West Africa), Ethiopia (East Africa), and the United States. In these regions, I have collaborated (Ethiopia and U.S.A.) and initiated (Nigeria) projects on different aspects of African cultural history stretching as far back as 100 A.D. in the case of Aksumite Civilization in Ethiopia, 1200 A.D. for Yoruba civilization in West Africa, and as recent as early 19th century in the case of urban African-American culture in Boston (USA). The cultural history of Yoruba-Edo region in Nigeria has been the main focus of my research since 1990. The major theme of my research is the articulation of local historical experience in regional and global contexts. I am interested in how historical communities, peoples, and cultural ecumenes responded to, manipulated, and became part of regional and global historical processes (e.g, the Atlantic economy). I am also interested in how the cultural institutions and daily lives of African societies have been transformed as a result of these global/regional encounters. Within the framework of globa/regional/local intersections, my archaeological-historical research has focused on topics such as migrations, inter-group relations, ethnogenesis, political formation, material culture, and origins and transformations of cultural institutions.

Extractions: CHAPTER 2: SOCIAL CONTEXT OF AFRICAN THEOLOGY 1: Socio-Historical Survey Ancient Egypt developed the first of the great civilizations of world history. Egypt had already a long and illustrious history by the time ancient Greece reached its apex, and it is well established that Greek thinkers acknowledged their debt to ancient Egypt. Much has been written on Egypt and it need not be repeated here, except perhaps to mention that much current African and African-American scholarship is currently in the process of reappropriating Egypt as a specifically African civilization, in which the Cushites and black peoples of southern Egypt played a major role. The "Afrocentric Hypothesis", as advanced by Cheik Anta Diop and his more recent African-American exponent, Molefi Asante, states that Egypt was the source of all the significant cultural ideas of the civilizations which followed it, Persia, Greece, Rome, etc., and that all of these ideas came from an African source in Egypt and the southern Nile region (see Diop 1954, 1974 and Asante 1987). While some of the more extreme ideas of the "Afrocentrists" remain controversial in historical scholarship, they are bringing the role of black Africa in the ancient world out of obscurity into the realm of debate, which in itself advances the achievement of Africans and has shed light on the manner in which Euroamerican scholarship has systematically denied and suppressed information about Africa's past greatness, a greatness which included the empires of Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, Mali, Songhay, Timbuctoo, and Zimbabwe.

Extractions: Country Info Nigeria Introduction Nigeria General Data Nigeria Maps Nigeria Culture ... Nigeria Time and Date Nigeria Culture Back to Top Nigeria's rich and varied cultural heritage derives from the mixture of its different ethnic groups with Arabic and western European cultural influences. Secret societies, such as Ekpo and Ekpe among the peoples of the southeast, were formerly used as instruments of government, while other institutions were associated with matrimony. According to the Fulani custom of sharo (test of young manhood), rival suitors underwent the ordeal of caning as a means of eliminating those who were less persistent, while in Ibibio territory girls approaching marriageable age were confined for several years in bride-fattening rooms before they were given to their husbands. These and other customs were discouraged by colonial administrators and missionaries. Some of the more adaptable cultural institutions have been revived since independence; these include Ekpo and Ekong societies for young boys in parts of the southeast and the Ogboni society found in the Yoruba and Edo areas of southern Nigeria.
