    Extractions: Farafeni, Gambia In Newjeswang, Gambia live the Jobarta family and their relatives. They are part of a West African ethnic group known as the Manding. Chris Covert and her husband have become close friends with the Jobarta family. At one time Chris and her husband lived with them while waiting for their own apartment to be built. It is here in Newjeswang that Chris has set up the Jobo Kunda cultural exchange program. This program was created to bring people of North America and West Africa together for the purpose of sharing and preserving traditional cultures. Our music and dance instructors are from the jalis or griot society, the historic keepers of the culture. Through her friendship with the Jobartas, Chris has had the opportunity of learning about their culture and working with them to enable others to come and live with the contemporary Manding. Some people come for 4 weeks, others stay for several months. It has proved to be an enriching experience for all involved.

    Extractions: By Betty Gabrielli Adenike Sharpley More Photos O CTOBER 1, 1998Last week a Cleveland State University fan talked about Dance Diaspora's September 24 performance this way: "Oh when the drums sound, the earth shakes. Their performance at CSU is going to be packed." And it was. "We blew them away," says Adenike Sharpley, the company's director and choreographer and director of Oberlin's Afrikan Heritage House. "We had standing room only." Enthusiastic audiences greet the dancers whenever they perform off campus, whether it's 400 filmgoers getting in the groove at a gala party highlighting the 20th International Cleveland Film Festival last May or at Tufts University a few days ago. Sharpley, who came to the College with a wealth of experience as a choreographer and dancer, including work with the legendary Katherine Dunham, created Dance Diaspora in 1992 as a touring ensemble. For the last six years, she and the student dancers have broadened access to Africa's rich cultural heritage by performing in venues up and down the Atlantic seaboard. But the longest trip they've ever taken was not in the U.S. but to West Africa, this past summer, to learn the basics of their art form

    Extractions: In 1999, however, President Jammeh announced that The Gambia would not ban these practices. He also stated that FGM/FGC was part of Gambian culture. Several members of the National Assembly and the Supreme Islamic Council have publicly supported continuation of FGM/FGC. The Vice President, on the other hand, has voiced support for reform. ... The estimated percentage of all women in The Gambia who have undergone one of the forms of FGM/FGC ranges from 60 to 90 percent. The Foundation for Research on Women’s Health, Productivity and the Environment (BAFFROW) reports that seven of The Gambia’s nine ethnic groups practice one of these forms. Nearly all Mandinkas, Jolas and Hausas (together 52 percent of the population) practice Type II on girls between 10 years and 15 years of age. The Sarahulis (nine percent of the population) practice Type I on girls one week after birth. The Bambaras (one percent of population) practice Type III, which takes place when girls are between 10 years and 15 years of age. The Fulas (18 percent of the population) engage in a practice analogous to Type III that is described as "vaginal sealing" or Type IV on girls anywhere between one week and 18 years of age. ... [

     Extractions: It is Dalby's thesis that a Black Portuguese developed as a lingua franca in West Africa in the 15th century and spread around the globe as a maritime creole. That it was an African construct for communication not only between black and white but a trade language between indigeneous coastal people who spoke different languages. It set a pattern. Even today for every European or American able to speak an African language, millions of Africans are able to speak a European language. [Also even today a great number of people in West Africa are multi-lingual] Black Portuguese had a full century of development before the Dutch displaced the Portuguese in the slave trade. A similar phenomenon - Black Dutch = Afrikaans characterised speech communities in the Dutch Islands in the Caribbean and Surinam, it is the mother tongue of Cape Coloureds, not only of Afrikaners of SA.
