Extractions: Bibles in the languages of Angola Since becoming independent in 1975, Angola has almost continuosly been involved in civil war. It is stimated that some 1,5 million people have lost their lives in this conflict. Currently there is peace, but the economy has been destroyed and poverty is the order of the day. As is the case in the rest of the country, the Bible Society in Angola is also busy rebuilding. It is of particular importance that a distribution network is built up to ensure that people everywhere in the country can obtain Bibles. Many people literally lost everything in the war, including their Bibles. Although Portuguese is the official language, indigenous languages are very important as most people would like a Bible in their mother tongue. In order to meet this need the Bible Society would like to make 13 500 Bibles and 3 000 New Testaments available in Chokwe, Kikongo, Kimbundu, Luchazi and Umbundu as soon as possible at a very special price. However, funds are urgently needed. F UNDS NEEDED..

Extractions: Wim van Binsbergen Mukanda, Part II homepage Mukanda overview page Mukanda Part I In the case of the shift towards patrilineal succession, we are fortunate that the oral-historical data provide us with the details that allow us to perceive the specific, concrete political strategies through which such major changes in the socio-political structure tend to realize themselves. From the account in Likota lya Bankoya , Shamamano emerges as a great warrior and resourceful adventurer, and also as a usurper, who only under the protection of Lewanika managed to revive the Kahare name to which he was related not as a sisters son, but only as a daughters son, i.e. outside the ordinary line of dynastic succession. A century of chiefs rule by members of Shamamanos patri-segment, in a general context of the Lozi indigenous administration and the colonial and post-colonial state favouring patrilineal succession, has created such an image of self-evident legitimacy for the current Kahare line that oral traditions dwelling on the irregularity of Shamamanos accession are completely suppressed at the Kahare court today. However, there is in Kahares area and among urban migrants hailing from there a noticeable undercurrent of traditions in which this legitimacy is challenged, and rival claims to the Kahare kingship are entertained. When Shamamano built his lukena in the same general area where his sons and grandson have since held the Kahare kingship, he did not enter a virgin territory, but one which for at least a century had been under Nkoya rule. Mwene Kabazi lived on the Njonjolo, at Litoya lya Mbuma. His younger sister, one of his successors, Mwene Manenga, had her

Extractions: In 1982, Victor Turner wrote "perhaps only celebration can adequately understand celebration, but language can give an approximate rendering of it and some semantic perspective on its products . . ."(1) I think that celebration can be applied as a methodology. In the study of performance or pageantry, choices are made, and these decisions are the substance of a productive process. However, I believe that all too often scholars have equated change with deterioration. Celebration has proved useful in my own research, where beliefs in "purity" and "tradition" have set the tone for what little material there is. Celebration places change within the positive context of creativity. I look to the performance of makishi masks, the cultural property of Mbunda peoples, in Lozi celebrations to demonstrate the means by which the arts are used to publicly display political cohesion. Mbunda, Lozi and nearly two dozen other groups, each defined by language, have settled along the Zambezi River in Zambia's Western Province, historically known as Barotseland. I arrived in Limulunga, the flood-time capitol of the Lozi royalty, on June 30th, 1996, after thirty hours by bus on what I came to call, the "not-road." June 30th and the first two days of July are national holidays in Zambia, and in Limulunga they are filled with such festivities as a ten kilometer marathon and music and dance performances

Photo Gallery Shoeless and shirtless children ran cheering excitedly along side the vehicle as it bounced over ruts of red earth. As our Toyota Land Cruiser entered the circle created for our performance we immediately became the focus of gathered attention. We drove across the circle of dry grass to a make-shift stagea large wooden box surrounded with drums and puppets. Suddenly there was a spontaneous cheer from the crowd with arms waving, faces smiling and much whistling. Our arrival signaled the beginning of the performance to the crowd who waited for nearly forty minutes in the warm, but not yet hot, African sun. There is a unique crystal-like clarity and gentle freshness that characterizes the winter sky of southern Africa. Its sharp blue providing a perfect backdrop for the colorful mosaic of colorful clothing dotted with beautiful black faces. We were in Kitwe the heart of Zambia's "Copperbelt," formerly the world's most productive copper, zinc, and tin mines until the bottom fell out of the international metals in the early 1980's and first world countries started using laser optics instead of copper. Since then the Copperbelt Province, as the rest of Zambia, has been tail spinning in a whirl of foreign debt, inflation, unemployment, abject poverty, tribal in-fighting, and government corruption. The Land Cruiser pulled behind our "stage box" to provide both backdrop and a backstage for our performance. Timothy Mugala, Lenard, Milimo, and Jerry Jmuale who were drumming in a sweat at the box and nodded happily. At the center of the circle was shirtless Peter Piri who was entertaining the audience with his traditional comic dances. Though from the Bemba tribe, Peter knew scores of traditional dances from many different tribes; he was presenting an impromptu, sometimes bawdy, crowd pleasing warm-up to fill the time. The audience followed every move of his torso and stomach as he rotated and punctuated the syncopating drum rhythms with his astounding isolations.

Extractions: Page 2 of 5 Language oppression is not a phenomenon confined to Africa. Examples could be cited from any part of the world, including the so-called industrialized nations. What I am observing here with regard to Central Africa is analogous to what has been and still is practised in areas with totally different cultures elsewhere in the world. Oppressive strategies usually work in manner that the victimized groups learn to internalize the oppressor's standpoint. The oppressor, moreover, is not usually a person, but an abstract entity, such as a "policy", a "law", a "rule", a "convention", a "system", an "approved" way of behaviour. If a person in northwestern Zambia, for example, speaking Luchazi as his/her mother tongue, feels an inner coercion to write letters to friends who are from the same language community, in Luvale which is one of the "officially approved" languages in that country, then this is an example for such internalization.

Development challenges LOCATION Angola is located on the western coast of South Africa and lies within latitude 12 30 S, and longitude18 30 E. It is bound by Namibia to the south, Zambia to the east, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire) to the north and northeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. A separate province of Cabinda is enclosed by the Democratic Republic of Congo. It has a coastline length of 1600 km. Major towns Click on map to view it in more details LAND AREA AND USES Angola has a total area of 1,246,700 sq km, out of which the land area is 1,246,700 sq km. According to a 1993 estimate, the main land uses are arable land (2%); permanent pastures (23%); forests and woodland (43%) and other (32%). PHYSIOGRAPHY Angola has a long coastal plain which rises abruptly to vast interior plateau which contains irregular terraces that form sub-plateaux. The central plateau accounts for around 66% of the land area and has numerous rivers which run into basins of the Congo and Zambezi Rivers that in turn flow to the Atlantic Ocean. The northwestern region of the central plateau and the enclave of Cabinda are covered by equatorial jungles while the southern regions and coastal plain are semi-arid. The Namib Desert occupies the coastal plain above Mocamedes.

Extractions: February 2-8 Argentina : We suffered a recession during 2002: devaluation, unemployment and loss of savings and capital. The Bible Society, although affected, was able to continue the translations into Toba del Obeste, Toba Sur and Wichí. We pray that translation and distribution of the Word will continue. We also ask for wisdom, honesty and prudence for those who govern and for the people when they elect their next leaders. We are grateful for the volunteers and those who support the Bible cause. Paraguay : We thank God for our distribution to people along the Paraguay River, a collaborative project with government teachers and hygiene advisers. Pray for the funds to build a hospital-boat. We also thank him for the revision of the Guaraní Bible: may people value it for speaking their own language. The country is facing serious problems: may the people trust God more in seeking solutions. We pray for the children and young people using the Life of Jesus Portions in Spanish and Guaraní.
