Indiana: Indiana University Press. Martin and O'Meara (1995) dispel any misconceptions one might have about Africa today. They present the reader with an objective perspective on the problems facing Africans today: the diversity, the conflicts, and the changesall a result of Western interference. Africa, more that three times the size of the United States, includes fifty- three very diverse countries and a population of about 700 million people. Africans are divided not only by boundaries, which did not exist prior to colonization, but also by ethnic identities, class distinctions, urban and rural experiences, geographic barriers, and vast distances. Population varies widely (Gabon- one million; Nigeria- 115 million). Ways of life vary dramatically. Some live in cities and work in offices or skyscrapers, buy clothes from department stores and have all of the modern conveniences- yet may travel to the rural areas for traditional festivals, to see healers or to visit extended families. Rural community members may seldom visit the cities, may walk miles for water in the dry season, and listen to transistor radios as they welcome a relative back from graduate studies overseas.

Extractions: By Jared Johnsen Canoeing up the River in the Amazon Barreling down the hairpin turns of Andean switchbacks is likely to distress the most intrepid of travelers. This is especially true on a public bus loaded down with people, swaying outward at the peak of each turn. Some of us just can't help but wonder about the person behind the wheel-the person in control of our lives. I mean, who is it after all? Does he really know how fast he can handle those corners on loose gravel? Others simply feel an extreme case of vertigo. Being propped up on the last few inches of earth that spill over a sheer mountain wall dropping for miles below, somehow, just isn't enough. Imagine now, an alternative, more adventurous means of descent. I don't know if I'd call it safer per se...but you'd be the one in control and you could reduce those lumbering four tires down to two. Imagine plunging all the way from snow-capped peaks at 4,700 meters all the way down these patchy roads to the ruddy soils of the sub-tropics not in a clumsy bus, but - gasp - on a bicycle. Now this is living. Beyond your gravity assisted ride through breathtaking mountains are the beautiful sub-tropical forests surrounding the sleepy town of Coroico, where you can spend a few nights relaxing and taking in the lush mountainscape. And beyond here, are the lush Amazonian wetlands out of Rurrenebaque, which is one of the best places of the jungle to catch a glimpse of wildlife. So if you weren't going to miss these stunning environments anyway, why not create a triathlon that goes all the way to the jungle? We begin donning a helmet and shall finish strapped into a lifejacket.

Department Of Foreign Languages, Salem State College: Jon Aske a fusion of the music of indigenous people from Colombia and African music that It is the result of African, Spanish, and indigenous influences (cf. http://www.lrc.salemstate.edu/aske/latmusic.htm
Extractions: Latin American music is extremely rich and varied, encompassing different traditions from Mexico, Central America, South America (Spanish-speaking countries and Portuguese-speaking Brazil, among others), and the Caribbean (Spanish-speaking Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, as well as French influenced Haiti, and the British Caribbean, most notably Jamaica). Latin American music has benefited from very varied influences: Spanish and Portuguese, Native American (especially in the Amazon region, Mexico, Guatemala and the Andes), and African (primarily in the Caribbean islands and Caribbean coast of South America). Native American Music We know little about Native American music in the Americas before the conquests (pre-Columbian music). Archeological studies at Maya, Aztec and Inca sites have given us some information, as have descriptions made by missionaries. Different types of drums, flutes, and trumpet-like instruments were used. Stringed and other instruments were introduced in the 16th century by the Europeans. Mestizo Music The term mestizo refers to Latin Americans who combine indigenous and European traits. Mestizo music has received both of those influences. European instruments and derivations of them include the harp, the guitar, the violin, and the accordion. The African marimba is also common in popular bands in Mexico and Central America. Trumpets also became common in Mexican bands in this century (mariachi bands). Flutes are the main contribution of native culture, most notably in the Incan region (Peru), and varied percussion instruments the main instrumental African influence, primarily along the Caribbean coasts.

Colors Of The Flag embraced at the Vodoun ceremony known as Ceremony of bwa Kayiman held onAugust 14, 1791. From now on, all Haitian people will be known as Blacks. http://www.vodou.org/colors_of_the_flags.htm
Extractions: Register here The Colors of the Flags in Haiti By Max G. Beauvoir Ati-Houngan Historically, students in Haiti learn that on May 18 th , 1803, in a congress held at Arcahaie, a township located about fifty miles north of Port-au-Prince, Dessalines created the countrys first flag. Ripping apart a French one blue, white and red, he threw away the white portion that was in the center and asked Catherine Flon, a young girl of the area, to sew the remaining ones. Having stitched together those two pieces of cloth, he mounted them horizontally on a staff as Haitis new national symbol. By this gesture, he publicly designated that this country no longer wanted to be recognized as a French territory and that the people who lived on this land preferred to be dead rather than be slaves. "Liberté ou la Mort!" meaning "Liberty or Death" had become the new motto as it had already been embraced at the Vodoun ceremony known as "Ceremony of Bwa Kayiman " held on August 14, 1791. This motto can be seen on all the official documents signed by Dessalines. France The blue set on the upper part of the flag represented the population of ancient slaves, four hundred and fifty thousand of them, an overwhelming majority indeed who, according to the first constitution, were supposed to be the only social group to personify the country.
