Extractions: Institutional determinants of unemployment in OECD countries: A time series cross-section analysis (1960-98) by Lucio Baccaro, Diego Rei Subscribe to our mailing list and we will keep you informed about our new publications Social exclusion and Africa south of the Sahara: A review of the literature Chapter 4: EXCLUSION FROM FORMAL AND INFORMAL EMPLOYMENT Labour market research in SSA is characterized by (i) a relative neglect of rural and agricultural labour markets, and (ii) a dualist framework which divides urban economies into a formal and informal sector. It is generally assumed that it is possible to find some work to do in the informal sector, even if it is poorly remunerated, insecure and intermittent. Thus, exclusion is not manifested in open unemployment (which exists and is an increasing problem, but which affects, particularly, relatively welleducated young people, especially secondary school leavers - see Sandbrook 1982, pp. 168-172). Rather it is evident in the way in which certain population groups face restricted options within labour markets. Within the literature, some studies help in identifying factors facilitating and restricting access to more or less remunerative types of jobs. The factors identified include, as Rodgers (1989) has observed for Asian and Latin American cities, both universalist criteria (such as educational qualifications, access to capital for self-employed) and particularistic social affiliations and identities (membership of groups, nationalities and categories). The main social identities for which information is available refer to: gender, ethnic group and nationality.

But thats not all - tt the same time, Oliver Mtukudzi and the Black Spirits from Zimbabwe will be back in Zambia for a few concerts. Since both famous bands know each other from jazz festivals in South Africa, the idea of a joint performance was suggested and has, for our entertainment, been brought to fruitiion. And joining them will be our own Maureen Lilanda adding that Zambian touch. Oliver Mtukudzi s career has spanned twenty five years.

Extractions: Like thousands of New Yorkers who live downtown, the filmmaker Beverly Peterson witnessed close-up the horrific events of 9/11. Her first instinct was to grab her video camera in order to bear witness to the tragedy unfolding. Filming became a way of surviving the following months as she documented what was happening to her community. Beverly and her husband were forced to evacuate their apartment on West Broadway for several weeks. Then the hard work of cleaning up began. Some businesses in the neighborhood had been forced to close, others limped along, helping each other survive. Many were owned by recent immigrants to N.Y.C. who are featured in the film. The community was forced to organize to demand financial assistance from the government for the cleaning and rehabilitation of individual residences and businesses. They are still rebuilding their lives thanks to their strenuous efforts to help themselves and each other. A film by Beverly Peterson. (20 min., color)

If you would like to see some other articles from Missionalia , have a look at the list of Missionalia articles on the Web THE DYNAMICS OF INDIGENOUS CHARISMATIC MISSIONARY ENTERPRISES IN WEST AFRICA Matthews A. Ojo ABSTRACT Indigenous missionary organisations resulting from the Charismatic Renewal in West Africa have proliferated since the 1970s. Through their dramatic growth and missionary vigour they contribute to shifting Christianity's centre of gravity to the non-Western world. Members of these transcultural and transnational movements are mainly the educate elite, and they are strong on college and university campuses. The article discusses the important charismatic missionary organisations in West Africa one by one, pointing out how they succeeded in crossing national frontiers to become international movements. A closing section identifies the key characteristics of these missions and gives a brief evaluation. INTRODUCTION The International Consultation on Missions held in Jos, Nigeria in August 1985 on the theme, "Mobilising indigenous missions for the harvest," was the first ever West African regional missions conference. Sponsored by the Nigeria Evangelical Mission Association (NEMA), the consultation drew participants from Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Guatemala, England, and USA. The conference reviewed the progress made by indig enous missionary initiatives, sought ways to stimulate and co-ordinate emerging indigenous missionary efforts, and lastly explored the means and patterns of co-operation between Western and Third World missions agencies (Gbade 1988:1-4).

Religion is often seen in these researches from possivist social anthropological perspective only. This research projects seeks to investigate the meaning of disability from the perspective an indigenous mythic world of which religion is a key partner is both symbol formation and interpretation. This approach is used because of the hunch that until and unless disability is understood from the indigenous mythic world perspective, many of the well intended programmes rehabilitation and advocacy may not incorporate the essence and challenges of disability from an African perspective. The study was conducted among the Frafra located in the North East of the Upper East Region of Ghana.

Extractions: The Book Publications Papers Blog Abstract : The author describes his intellectual journey in ten episodes, starting from his upbringing in Manchester and training in Cambridge. After pioneering research in Africa and work as a development advisor, he returned to Manchester as a teacher of social anthropology. Subsequently he spent periods in North America and the Caribbean, before returning to Cambridge for fifteen years. He is currently trying to establish himself as a writer in Paris. What follows is neither social science nor autobiography, but a personal account of being-in-the-world in which he tries to move, without discordance, along the whole length of the continuum linking the self to the rest of humanity. The star of the show, however, is Manchester, where his story begins. A bottle of Manchester United Chardonnay In his book The Emigrants the story of the pop cult city .

Influence of African Art on Western Art A The materials a particular African culture uses to make art depend to a large degree on the materials available to it. Wood, plant fibers, and clay are abundant in much of the continent. Few sculptures are created from wood in parts of southern Africa, where wood is relatively scarce. Where riverbeds provide good clay deposits, as in the Niger River valley of Nigeria , pottery and ceramic sculptures are plentiful. Soapstone is readily available in Zimbabwe and northern South Africa, where the Shona people reside. The Shona carved soapstone birds as early as the 14th century, and they continue to carve a variety of animal and human figures in soapstone today.

African Art and Architecture I. Introduction African Art and Architecture , works of art and architecture created on the African continent south of the Sahara. The immense Sahara acts as a natural barrier, separating African cultures to the north from those to the south. Although there has always been some intermingling of peoples on the two sides of the Sahara, differences in history and culture are pronounced. This article primarily discusses the art created south of the Sahara, a region known as sub-Saharan Africa. For information on the art of northern Africa, see Islamic Art and Architecture; Egyptian Art and Architecture; and Coptic Art and Architecture. The history of African art and architecture spans a vast period, beginning as early as 25,500
