By the end of the sixteenth century, most ethnic groups constituting the modern Ghanaian population had settled in their present locations. Archeological remains found in the coastal zone indicate that the area has been inhabited since the early Bronze Age (ca. 4000 B.C.), but these societies, based on fishing in the extensive lagoons and rivers, left few traces. Archeological work also suggests that central Ghana north of the forest zone was inhabited as early as 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. Oral history and other sources suggest that the ancestors of some of Ghana's residents entered this area at least as early as the tenth century A.D. and that migration from the north and east continued thereafter. These migrations resulted in part from the formation and disintegration of a series of large states in the western Sudan (the region north of modern Ghana drained by the Niger River). Prominent among these Sudanic states was the Soninke kingdom of Ghana. Strictly speaking

Extractions: Genocide in the African World SUBMENU: top enslavement of other africans by africans the sudanese example domestic enslavement ... BACK TO ARTICLE MENU In Southern Africa, according to C. T. Keto, the old men tell the story of a group of hunters who had been sent on a mission to obtain wild game from a certain spot a long ways from their village. On the way, after travelling several miles they see a limping antelope. One of the men say, "Let kill that antelope for food and continue our journey afterwards." They then ran after the limping antelope. The faster they ran the faster the animal ran. Soon they had lost their way and had gotten into territory unknown to them. They discovered that a limping antelope could still run faster than men. Lost, weary, and hungry, the men turned back towards their village empty handed. We will find many limping antelopes on the subject of enslavement of Africans in Africa when we start to discuss this subject but we must force ourselves at to keep ourselves focussed on the objective. Our aim should be nothing less than the international spotlight on slavery in Africa and the outright condemnation of human inhumanity. There can be no excuse, slavery and genocide are morally indefensible, brutally monstrous, and ethically repugnant. And though we can point to the Arab origin of the present slavery in the Sudan and Mauretania, we must not allow ourselves to get bogged down in name-calling or ethnic chauvinism. We can condemn the economic situation, the war situation, the geographical situation, the political situation, the ethnic situation but the reality is that people, human beings, are being brutalized and often killed.

Extractions: Africa and the Africans in the Age of Atlantic Slave Trade Introduction With the rise of the West, the traditional alignment of Africa with the Islamic world was altered. External influences exerted both by the West and by Islam accelerated political change and introduced substantial social reorganization. After 1450, much of Africa was brought into the world trade system, often through involvement in the slave trade. Through the institution of slavery, African culture was transferred to the New World, where it became part of a new social amalgam. Involvement in the slave trade was not the only influence on Africa in this period. East Africa remained part of the Islamic trade system, and the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia continued its independent existence. In some parts of Africa, states formed into larger kingdoms without outside influence. The Atlantic Slave Trade Introduction Along the Atlantic coast of Africa, the Portuguese established trade forts and trading posts, the most important of which was El Mina. Forts normally existed with the consent of local rulers, who benefited from European trade. The initial Portuguese ports were located in the gold- producing region, where the Europeans penetrated already extant African trade routes. From the coast, Portuguese traders slowly penetrated inland to establish new trade links. In addition to trade, the Portuguese brought missionaries, who attempted to convert the royal families of Benin, Kongo, and other coastal kingdoms. Only in Kongo, where Nzinga Mvemba accepted conversion, did the missionaries enjoy success.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Tackling the legacies of slavery and colonialism Professor J F Ade Ajayi (Editor, UNESCO General History of Africa Vol VI) THE CONFERENCE Over the past four decades relationships between Africa and Britain and the rest of Europe have undergone important shifts. Nonetheless, the past remains in significant respects unresolved. Many Africans feel that Europe owes Africa and Africans some form of acknowledgement of wrongs done, and some form of reparation for slavery and colonialism. In Europe there are diverging views: on the one hand, acknowledgement of harms done; on the other, a sense that overall the impact of colonialism included much that was positive and that such negative effects as there may have been should by now have been overcome.

Our NGO is working to promote and preserve the tribal knowledge which in these times is ignored and left to disappear. Many of our young warriors are leaving villages and moving to town where they hope to seek the glamour of modern world. The TV and Media promote the values of the West which are destructive and not relevant to our culture. Above all, it triggers our warriors to believe in material wealth, ignoring the spiritual foundations of our society. Indigenous people need to come together to share ideas, knowledge, resources, and to build networks and develop closer ties. We, the people from the Maasai, Segeju, Punjabi, and Haya tribes of Tanzania, want to say that we are with our native brothers around the world in their struggle to build their community and history that was severely damaged in the past.

Extractions: Returning to Africa's Roots/Modernizing the Indigenous George B.N. Ayittey All Africa needs to do is to return to its roots and build on and modernize its own indigenous institutions. There is now a greater awareness of the need to reexamine Africa's own heritage. Return to traditional institutions will ensure not only peace but stability as well: In Mali each existing ethnic group is recognized for its distinct heritage. "Ethnicity cannot be manipulated in this society," said educator Lalla Ben Barkar. "The people may be from the north or the south, but in the end they realize they are one nation, and that is Mali" (The Washington Post, 24 March 1996, A28). Carl M. Peterson and Daniel T. Barkely offered a reason why Somalia imploded: The previous government [Siad Barre's] failed to incorporate the institutional aspects of Somalia's indigenous culture into a functioning national body. [Therefore] a stable, viable and fair political system must comprise the essential characteristics of Somalia's complex society. This means revitalizing indigenous institutions, restoring traditional powers and giving clans a legitimate outlet for political expression. (New African, June 1993, 20). E. F. Kolajo of Thoyandou, South Africa, concurred: "The Japanese, Chinese, and Indians still maintain their roots, and they are thriving as nations. Africa embraces foreign cultures at the expense of its own, and this is why nothing seems to work for us" (New African, February 1995, 4). In fact, according to The Bangkok Post, "Japan's postwar success has demonstrated that modernization does not mean Westernization. Japan has modernized spectacularly, yet remains utterly different from the West. Economic success in Japan has nothing to do with individualism. It is the fruit of sheer discipline the ability to work in groups and to conform" (cited by The Washington Times, 9 November 1996, A8).

Extractions: TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION The colonial period: European influence on African culture Broadcast media: Characteristics, purposes and effects of African broadcast media ... REFERENCES Humans occupied Africa before they occupied the Western world (i.e., Europe and North America), but it was westerners that developed and introduced electronic media in Africa. The central question I hope to answer is: how have electronic media affected Africa? But before getting into this question, I want to quickly address the question of why these innovations were introduced to Africans rather than developed by Africans. After all, Africans are, as a people, older than westerners, so the question presses: Why didn't Africans develop and introduce electronic media to Europeans, rather than vice versa? Jared Diamond(1999) attempts to answer this kind of question in his book Guns, Germs and Steel

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a study in the nature of human society through its cultural setting. The humanities will be the medium through which the diverse societies of sub-Saharan Africa will be explored in their similar approaches to uses of the environment; oral tradition; religion; myths and legends; visual arts; music; dance; and theatre which effect social policies and an individual culture's vision of its own future. COURSE GOAL: This is an interdisciplinary course which introduces and discusses with some depth a specified cultural setting. Like the more generalized humanities course, the topics covered are those broad-based aspects of culture and the arts that help the students improve their skills in thinking, understanding, and communicating aesthetic and ethical judgments about the world. The student will be able to illustrate the cultural products that individual societies in this part of the world have regarded as aesthetically pleasing and the ways in which they were produced. III.
