     Extractions: comments ... Presented by: THE ORIENTAL INSTITUTE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO and the OAK WOODS CEMETERY ASSOCIATION In the Tower of Memories, Oak Woods Cemetery, Chicago Exhibition Brochure Cover Exhibition Credits Exhibition Introduction To the ancient Mediterranean world, the land south of Egypt was a territory of mystery and legend. Wealth and exotic products came from there. It was the home of the Ethiopians, whom Homer called blameless and stories about its great achievements endured to tantalize the modern world. This land, which now includes Nubia, is a land of enormous distances, and its exploration was long impeded by problems of transport and political unrest. In the last hundred years, Nubia has slowly yielded its secrets, its vanished peoples, abandoned cities and lost kingdoms brought to light by the excavator and copyist of inscriptions. This exhibit is a selection of objects recovered over twenty years ago by the Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition in the effort to rescue archaeology from the rising water behind the Aswan Dam. The land of Nubia is a desert divided by the river Nile. For want of water and rich soil, most of Nubia has never been able to support a large population for long periods. However, some of Africa's greatest civilizations emerged here, centers of achievement whose existence was based on industry and trade. Because they did not write their own languages until very late in ancient times, we know these centers and their people largely through their archaeology and what the Egyptians and Greeks said about them.

102. Darfur
     model of riverain sudanese culture to which pupils were expected to aspire, reflects the frustrations and cleavages in sudan s political culture.  
     http://www.sudanupdate.org/REPORTS/PEOPLES/Darf.htm
     
     Extractions: Reports : Peoples Darfur The three and a half million people living in Darfur region, geographically isolated and neglected by central government in Khartoum, have been adversely affected by conflict since the early 1980s. The relatively peaceful equilibrium between its ethnic groups has been destroyed by environmental degradation - the spread of the desert and the effects of the Sahel drought - coupled with the divide-and-rule tactics of central government and the influx of modern weaponry. Members of the elites of the major ethnic groups are engaged in a struggle for political status, and failing to tackle the underlying problems of equitable allocation of water and land. Meanwhile outside access to the region is now so tightly controlled that detailed information about the current plight of the indigenous people is increasingly difficult to obtain. Darfur was an independent sultanate until 1917, when it was the last region to be incorporated into the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The Arabic word Dar roughly means homeland, and its population of nearly four million is divided into several Dars; not only of the Fur people, as its name suggests, but also of several other communities, determined by livelihood as much as ethnicity. These ecological and social distinctions are more meaningful than the administrative divisions imposed by government. Ethnicity is not in itself clear-cut, given the long history of racial mixing between indigenous "non-Arab" peoples and the "Arabs", who are now distinguished by cultural-linguistic attachment rather than race.

     Extractions: Basic foodstuffs are available for purchase in most towns, and local markets are quite well-stocked with fruit, vegetables, peanuts and spices. Despite a recent history of famine and starvation which is now only a memory for large parts of the population, Sudanese people are incredibly hospitable, and will willingly share what little food they have with visitors and travelers. Sudanese cooking is extremely simple, with little or no use of spices. Seasoning is generally confined to salt and pepper and lemon juice. Meals are eaten from a communal bowl, using the fingers of the right hand in accord with religious practice. The most common dishes are as follows (although these are not always available): Meat and poultry. Chicken is usually stewed and served in a broth, while lamb can be skewered as a kebab, or cooked on a bed of coals and served with salad. This dish can also be made with beef and is known as shayya

     expands the United Nations Mission in sudan to include the protection of a nofly zone over Darfur, and calls for a presidential envoy to sudan  
     http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/001980.html
     
     Extractions: Main The American Prospect 's Mark Leon Goldberg reports the depressing news that the Bush administration is rapidly backtracking from action to stop the genocide in Darfur, and is recently making nice with the Sudanese government. Goldberg writes that on a trip last week to Darfur, Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick vastly lowballed the death count there and refused to call what is occurring in Darfur genocide, as former Secretary of State Colin Powell had already declared it. Africa watchers and human rights activists say Zoellick's equivocating was a very deliberate signal: "Zoellick is not some State Department official acting on his own,” [the International Crisis Group's John] Prendergast told me, “but was deliberately signaling a shift in administration policy." Eric Reeves, the Smith College professor whose analysis of the conflict continues to prove prescient, agrees. Shortly after the press conference, Reeves surmised on his Web site that Zoellick’s comments heralded a new administration strategy meant to forestall the need for a U.S. commitment to humanitarian intervention by downplaying the urgency of the situation. If so, this post-Powell policy is placing the administration on a collision course with Congress. Last week, the Senate unanimously passed the Darfur Accountability Act as part of the Iraq-Afghanistan emergency supplemental appropriations bill. Led by Republican Sam Brownback of Kansas and Democrat John Corzine of New Jersey, the act appropriates $90 million in U.S. aid for Darfur and establishes targeted U.S. sanctions against the Sudanese regime, accelerates assistance to expand the size and mandate of the African Union mission in Darfur, expands the United Nations Mission in Sudan to include the protection of civilians in Darfur, establishes a no-fly zone over Darfur, and calls for a presidential envoy to Sudan...

     http://www.sudanstudies.org/ssa051b.html
     
     Extractions: The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to develop an approach to the understanding of the violence that marred the Sudanese political life for the last five decades and analyze how this culture of violence have spread among the political actors to include other parties and to become part of their political program. The second purpose arises from an attempt to construct a comprehension of the local processes that have been acting within a tense environment of rivalry among political actors to transform such forms of militancy into a military coup. Fresno USA Ending female genital cutting requires countless individual decisions to abandon the strongly held traditional practice. Reformers count on the successful development of a new local social consensus that the practice should end. Such consensus, when marked by a public declaration, offers both social support and peer pressure to make the decisions.

Hardcover, 294 pp., glossary, index FEMINIST ANTHROPOLOGISTS HAVE COME a long way in challenging previous models of "women and state" that reduced the histories and experiences of non-western women to mere state repression. Ethnographies from different cultures show that state gender ideologies are not accepted silently. Instead they are continuously contested, negotiated, and often manipulated by women and men to strategically serve their own social and political ends. Sondra Hale's book is a remarkable example of a contemporary feminist attempt to revisit old theories and methodologies dealing with women and state politics.

     Extractions: A civil war in Sudan for the past 20 years has led to the death of 2 million people. However recent events have pointed to what some are calling genocide and there are estimates of 2.2 million at risk of dying in the near future due to inadequate humanitarian relief. The international community has condemned the Sudanese government for setting up obstacles to established relief efforts. Despite a recent cease-fire agreement signed between the government and rebel opposition groups, fighting continues. Materials NewsHour Extra story: World Recognizes Refugee Crisis in Sudan

     Extractions: (4th c. B.C. to 325 A.D.) 6. Relief from a stand at Wad Ban Naga temple. It shows Queen Amanitare, wife of her co-ruler, Natakamani. The inscription is in both Egyptian and Merotic hieroglyphs, and so is important for knowing how to translate Merotic script. The tendency today to see Natakamani as the principle ruler of Kush probably results from our privileging Roman written sources. 9. The Lion Temple of Naqa. The architectural style is Egyptian. The entrance reliefs show the king and queen striking their enemies. The queen reflects Merotic culture in both her importance being equal to that of the king, but also in her figure style. 10. Rear view of the Lion Temple, Naqa, Meroe. The Kushitic god, Apedemek, with three heads and four arms, is worshiped by the royal family, dressed in the Nubian style. 11. The Lion Temple, Naqa, Meroe.

     Extractions: Located in North Africa, Sudan is geographically the largest country in Africa with approximately 1 million square miles (roughly the size of the U.S. east of the Mississippi). Sudan shares borders with nine countries including Egypt to the North. The Nile River and its tributaries dominate the country, with deserts in the North and a more tropical climate in the South. Population Currently all curricula follow a strict Islamic model in the Arabic language. In the South, education was formerly offered in English. In the past, boys might have been sent into towns for education, while rural females learned domestic responsibilities in prepara-tion for a good marriage and childbearing. At this time, because of war, government neglect, and the lack of supplies and trained teachers, few schools remain open, and two generations of southern Sudanese children have not received education (USCR, 1999).

     Extractions: At the national level, the abortion debate is often discussed only in terms of laws, court decisions, and public controversies. In reality, every one of the million-plus abortions performed in America each year comes as a result of a private decision, often made without concern for public analysis. This point is made abundantly clear in a major article published in the September 18, 2005 edition of The New York Times
