To Africa With Spatula
A Peace Corps Mom in Malawi 1965-1967
Take one ordinary 1960s American family - husband, wife, and four active boys from three to twelve. Add a Peace Corps staff assignment to Malawi, Africa and more than ninety letters home. Stir well, edit liberally, and you get To Africa With Spatula. This is the story of our family's two-and-a-half years of adventures (and misadventures), and especially of our growing and enduring love for this tiny, beautiful African country and its people. I don't know what I expected when we eagerly boarded the plane that would take us from our home in quiet Davis in Northern California, to Malawi, Africa, where my husband was to be a Peace Corps staff member, but it certainly wasn't swabbing trees with leopard repellent. Or standing alone in the African bush with my four little boys at sundown beside our wrecked Jeep, a hundred miles from the nearest town - watching my husband walk into the distance flanked by two spear-carrying Masai tribesmen. Or receiving a formal complaint from our next-door neighbor, Malawi President Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda, that my youngest son's drumming was interrupting his naptime.

Indigenous Science: A Star in Africa's Future?
Indigenous Science: A Star in Africa's Future?
by Thomas A. Bass

Africa possesses a wealth of scientific knowledge developed independently from Western science and its methods. Bringing this knowledge to light and building upon it to benefit the continent are among the concerns of many scientists working in Africa today.
Africa is a natural treasure house. It is endowed with fabulous examples of physical and cultural diversity. These riches hold the keys to answering many questions that can be answered-if they can be answered at all- only in Africa. When did humans first start using tools and fire? How do species evolve? Where do HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and other new viruses come from? Is the Earth getting hotter and drier, and if so, what can be done about it?
Africa is also a laboratory for studying the clash between modern scientific methods and technologies and traditional practices. As in all traditional societies, African peoples have evolved sophisticated realms of knowledge, derived from experimentation or observation, that explain, predict, or control natural phenomena. This indigenous knowledge often appears to differ from- or even run counter to-the scientific principles brought with the colonial powers. The seeming dichotomy thus raises another important question: Are modern science and its methods alien to traditional African cultures? The answer to this question is crucial to anyone concerned about the less developed world and the future of science in general.

The Guardian
Earlier this year, 250 Filipinos were evicted from their homes. Their lake-shore village of Ambulong, in Batangas province, was attacked by hundreds of police, who demolished 24 houses. Many people were reported wounded, four seriously and one with a bullet wound. Cesar Arellano, of Pamalakaya, a Filipino human rights organisation, said: "The people are not leaving - they have set up camp. They are going to fight for their land." The intention of the authorities was to clear people to make way for a major business venture - not oil, logging or mining, but ecotourism, which is growing massively around the world and is now backed by governments, world bodies and international banks. This year has been declared by the UN the international year of ecotourism and this week, a world summit is being held in Quebec to consider the problems and potential for the fastest growing sector of the world's largest industry. According to many conservationists and tour operators, this "benign" version of tourism offers a way to fund environmental protection, stimulate the incomes of the poor and encourage cultural exchange. Ecotourists are thought to spend considerably more than mass tourists and for debt-strapped developing countries, having people visit, look at things that require minimal investment and pay lots of money for the privilege, can seem manna from heaven.

Chapter 5 (continued) (shown below) The Perpetuation of Imperialism: Developed Nations in East Africa A number of examples clearly illustrate the perpetuation of "the new corporate colonialism" in the East African context, and the ways in which this "neo-colonialism" continues to be beneficial for "Northern" capitalist interests at the expense of long-term East African economic, social, and ecological sustainability. Juma's (1991) discussion of "exotic genetic resources" - referenced earlier in the colonial context of the British imposition of cash crops and livestock upon the Kenyan and Tanzanian environment - is instructive of the ways in which colonial domination and control of Kenya's agricultural sector continues to be perpetuated in the postcolonial era. Juma (1991) recognizes that in Kenya, "over the 1964-1985 period, the country imported nearly 64 percent of all genetic resource accessions used for breeding... the country is largely dependent on foreign sources for most of the major crops. Nearly 88 percent of the cereal accessions stored in the country are imported. This is not a surprise because the agricultural sector is based on exotic genetic resources. None of the major crops are indigenous and therefore imports have to be done to maintain breeding programs. Food crops in which the country has relatively high local accessions include cassava, sweet potato, pasture species and oil crops. None of these are major crops and their contribution to the economy is still marginal" (128).

Earth First! groups blockade Tennessee Dept. of Transportation
Two women chained inside a car help other Earth First! members blockade the entrance to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (T-DOT), in Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, Aug. 27, 2001. By Ela and Leslie Ware Knoxville, Tennessee, Aug. 27— Today, in front of the Strawberry Plains Regional Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) Headquarters, approximately 18 activists from Earth First! formed a blockade as part of an ongoing campaign to stop the building and expansion of Tennessee roads. According to activist Vesna Plakanis (Gatlinburg, TN), if Tennessee linked all of its roads end to end, they could circle the earth three times. TDOT’s web site boasts that Tennessee is home to more roads per capita than any other state in the country. For Tennessee more roads means increased air pollution and environmental destruction, as well as budget cuts to public service programs such as education. According to protesters, State department budgets have been slashed across the board while TDOT’s budget remains untouched, as it has for years. Activists reported that Tennessee ranks 45th in education funding and third in air pollution. Meanwhile TDOT is spending $36 million to expand 2.6 miles of Highway 321 (between Gatlinburg and Cosby), when typically $4 million is spent per mile.

Let your mind drift back in time.
Imagine, indigenous peoples around the globe gathered together in ceremony and ritual. Visualize ancient family groups, cooking and warming themselves over open fires, softly chanting, being guided by the wise words and presence of the Shaman, an all powerful Holy Man. Imagine the Medicine Man, engaging in "practical" medicine, pounding the pungent leaves and sacred herbs and oils, the secret medicinal healing potions that passed down through generations and enter the mouth of a young, fever- stricken patient. Food is prepared and music is played. The Ancients move to hypnotic rhythms. Old civilizations vanished from the earth and other cultures drifted with the sands. Indigenous peoples fall to conquering nations and all that remains of civilizations are bits and pieces of their lives which become fodder for the imaginations and prying curiosities of archeologists and ancient historians. Discovered among the ruins are charred bones, pottery, fragments of adornments that are crude yet descriptive clues. Also found is a preserved container or vessel and a remnant of a musical instrument, all made from a natural substance, a harvested or gathered gourd. Gourds have been used for more that 12,000 years for both utilitarian and ceremonial purposes. Primitive cultures throughout the temperate regions of the world carefully gathered and later harvested, a wide variety of gourd types to serve as storage containers and vessels for both liquid and dry materials and food.

With the decline of agricultural price in the 1870’s and 1880’s that led to lower-class southern whites to join farmers throughout the country in populist political movements, political leaders sought to unite the racial lines in order to effect more votes from the black voters. This did not work and the populist revolt died away after 1896. This then refutes some of what society was attempting to resolve. Bibliography lists 3 sources. Filename: JGAafhis.rtf

African women artists in Latin America? Yes, especially in Brazil, Nicaragua, and the Caribbean nations of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and Grenada. The Afro-Latin heritage, due to the infamous 16th century slave trade, added another cultural layer to Latin America s indigenous roots modified by Spanish colonialism. Intrigued by the artists and their work, I wanted to continue my research in Africa. My contact was Professor Solomon Wangbogie from the University of Benin in Nigeria. He was also a member of the International Society for Education Through the Arts and had responded to my letter of inquiry, "Come to Africa, and I will introduce you to some of Nigeria's wonderful women artists." I did, and he did. I was amazed by the monumental bronze and cement sculptural forms of Princess Elizabeth Olowu, the painted fabrics of Yoruba myths and legends by Nicki Davis, and Susan Wenger's mythical Osun shrine that evolved from Yoruba traditional beliefs. I continued my annual travels from 1986 to 1990 and found many more traditional and modern women artists to interview in Mali, Senegal, Morocco, the Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Egypt. Their art became visible in the U.S. with the publication of

Africa - A Diverse Continent
Africa is composed of about 50 nations and makes up 22% of the worlds total land mass. It is continent of extremes; the lowest point is Lake Asal in Djibouti which is 153 metres below sea level while Mount Kilimanjaro level in Tanzania is 5895 metres above sea. Africa is also home to the largest desert in the world, the Sahara and the longest river, the Nile. Arabs constitute about one quarter of the population, living mainly north of the Sahara while south of the Sahara 70% of the population is Negroid. Three hundred ethnic groups have so far been identified in Africa ranging from Pygmies on the Congo River to nomadic Masai Warriors in Tanzania. Africa's economy is the least developed of any continent after Antarctica. Most of the population leads an agricultural lifestyle, despite the many, large, industrialised cities.

http://cwr.utoronto.ca/cultural/english/tanzania/alook.html
A L OOK AT THE P AST T he earliest inhabitants of the area were hunter gatherers. Agriculture was introduced in about 1000 B.C. by tribes who spoke a Cushitic language. They were gradually displaced by Bantu-speaking peoples from the south and west. Arab traders began to settle the coastal areas in the 8th century. They travelled into the interior to find gold and ivory. In the 13th century, the Shirazi from Persia arrived in the area. The Shirazi and the indigenous peoples intermarried, creating a culture known as Swahili. I n the early 16th century, the Portuguese conquered Kilwa Kisiwani, a major trade centre. They controlled the area for almost 200 years. During this period, Masai people from what is now Kenya also migrated into the area. In 1698, the Omani Arabs drove the Portuguese out. The Sultan of Oman moved his government to Zanzibar in 1840. The island became a centre for the slave trade, which continued for decades, even though slavery was officially abolished in many countries in the mid 19th century. Slavery was finally completely abolished in the country in 1922. I n the 19th century, Germany, Great Britain and other European countries competed to establish colonies in Africa. The mainland became a German colony named Tanganyika in 1886. Zanzibar became a British protectorate. After Germany's defeat in the First World War, the mainland was handed over to the British.

Its coast is lapped by the Indian Ocean and it shares the vast waters of Lake Victoria with its western neighbours. The Rift Valley and central highlands area form the backbone of the country, and this is where Kenya's scenery is at its most spectacular. The humid coastal belt includes the Tana River estuary and a string of good beaches. Western Kenya takes in the fertile fringes of Lake Victoria and some prime game parks. The vast, arid north-eastern region is where Kenya is at its wildest and most untouched by the modern world. Kenya's flora and fauna defies easy description. The vast plains of the south are dotted with flat-topped acacia trees, thorn bushes and the distinctive bottle-shaped baobab tree. On the rarified slopes of Mt Elgon and Mt Kenya, bamboo forests sprout and even higher up is the bizarre groundsel tree, with its huge cabbage-like flowers, and giant lobelias with long spikes. If you're more into fur and feathers, then head for the teeming game parks. Lions, buffalos, elephants, leopards and rhinos all cavort openly in at least two of the major parks. Endangered animals such as the black rhino are slowly making a comeback and sanctuaries for these creatures can be visited in Tsavo and Lake Nakuru national parks.

However, environmentalists have come to see the local co-operation is essential for the success of their work, Writes Alexander Stille What could be wrong with saving a rainforest? Quite a bit, say a number anthropologists who have become increasingly critical of they call "green imperialism". Portraying environmentalists as latter-day missionaries of a new universal truth, many see Third World conservation as a form of neo-colonialism, the latest attempt by wealthy Westerners to move into poor tropical countries and tell the local resident what they should and should not do with their land. "Environmentalists are trying to save landscapes from the people to live in them" says Simone Dreyfus, a French anthropologist who contributed to a recent voulume called Nature Sauvage , Nature Sauvee (’Wild Nature, Saved Nature"). "Many of them seem to care more about animals and plants than about people. Too often, efforts to save the environment are to be imposed from the outside and not from the inside."

Based on the potential opportunities in the travel and tourism industry of Africa, how will interested entrepreneurs benefit and what are their expectations? First and foremost, with the unprecedented passage of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), entrepreneurs have a tremendous opportunity to take advantage of the positive trends of America's commitment to assist African countries in order to continue to successfully graduate into the emerging global marketplace by generating economic opportunities through expanded trade and investment initiatives. AGOA will hopefully remove barriers to free trade and economic opportunity for American entrepreneurs who want to work with them. Africa represents a very promising economic region of the world in which the savvy businessperson can have a strategic marketing advantage. Specifically, this historic piece of legislation should be targeted by the travel and tourism industry with direct involvement and participation by more Americans and Africans alike.
