Extractions: See also Eastern Africa Guinea Coast Southern Africa , and Western and Central Sudan The British ban on the international slave trade and the development of Arab-Swahili caravan routes from eastern Africa shifts the trade in slaves to the east. In western Central Africa, heightened demand for local African products such as ivory, wax, and rubber allows previously subjugated or isolated peoples such as the Chokwe to rise to economic prominence and displace traditional powers such as the far-flung Lunda and Luba states . Further east, the Arab-Swahili trade also deprives these polities of the trade on which they are dependent. The emergence of numerous small-scale chiefdoms results in the production of new forms of ornate and luxurious courtly arts across Central Africa. Elsewhere, extended periods of migration in present-day Gabon and political consolidation in modern Cameroon lead to the development of new forms of funerary and courtly art. The European partition of Africa in 1884 provides state support for German, Belgian, English, and Portuguese expeditions into Central Africa that supply newly created ethnographic museums and geographic societies with specimens of material culture from the region.

Extractions: CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Geographer Thomas Bassett wants to put African mapmaking on the map. Toward that goal, Bassett, a geography professor at the UI, has written and provided illustrations for one of the first reviews of indigenous African maps, hoping along the way to dispel some of the major myths about mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. Bassett's review is published in "The History of Cartography: Cartography in the Traditional African, American, Arctic, Australian, and Pacific Societies," Vol. 2, Book 3. In January, the volume received the American Historical Association's Brested Prize for the best English-language book in the ancient and medieval history of Africa, North America and Latin America.

Extractions: Zaire Zaire Ethnic identity may best be understood as a construct useful to both groups and individuals. It may be built around group members' perceptions of shared descent, religion, language, origins, or other cultural features. What motivates members to create and maintain a common identity, however, is not shared culture but shared interests. Once created, ethnic groups have persisted not because of cultural conservatism but because their members share some common economic and political interests, thus creating an interest group capable of competing with other groups in the continuing struggle for power. The construction and destruction of ethnic identities has been an ongoing process. The name Ngala , for example, was used by early colonial authorities to describe an ethnic group that they imagined existed and lived upriver from the capital and spoke Lingala. The name Ngala figured prominently on early maps. The fact that Lingala was a lingua franca and that no group speaking Lingala as a mother tongue existed did not prevent colonial authorities from ascribing group characteristics to the fictional entity; they gave Ngala further substance by contrasting its characteristics with those of downriver peoples such as the Kongo. In the preindependence era, some of the upriver Africans briefly adopted the identity of Bangala; they found it useful as a rallying point in creating a political party. Unfortunately, the party failed to win significant electoral support. Without the prospect of winning political and economic spoils, the Bangala identity was perceived as useless and was quickly discarded.

Westview, Boulder, CO. 279 pp. The management of wetlands for agriculture by raised beds or raised fields has been practiced extensively by indigenous peoples of the Americas and by Chinese farmers for at least 2,000 years. Darch (1983), Denevan (1970), Denevan et al. (1987), and Parsons and Denevan (1967) described more than 170,000 ha of raised field remnants found in South America. Extensive systems of raised fields known as chinampas were found in Mexico and were also common in Central America (Adams et al. 1981, Barrera et al. 1977, Gomez-Pompa, 1978, Siemens 1980, Siemens and Puleston 1972, Turner 1974, Turner and Harrison 1981). Denevan and Turner (1974) defined a raised field as " an agricultural feature created by transferring earth to raise an area above the natural terrain." Denevan (1970) differentiated the following types of wetland cultivation used by indigenous American peoples: l. soil platforms built up in permanent water bodies

Extractions: Bassett recently completed an extensive inventory of indigenous mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. What he discovered was a heritage rich in unusual artifacts and representations. Among the Luba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lukasa memory boards made of wood, shells, and beads enabled praise singers to recount the history of a specific Luba king. The neighboring Tabwa people charted the path of mythical ancestral heroes on the backs and chests of initiates to the Butwa Society. The kingdom of Bamum in western Cameroon in the early 20th century was the site of one of the most ambitious mapmaking enterprises. Led by King Njoya, the Bamum people developed an alphabet and then undertook a major topographic survey of the kingdom, involving 60 people who made 30 stops over 52 days. "The map's form and content nicely illustrate the political use of maps," says Bassett, noting that the king promoted his political goals of consolidation by presenting images of rule. Fall 2000

Extractions: Extra pages connected to this page: Northern Zambia PEOPLE PROFILE THE TABWA OF ZAMBIA In the eighteenth century some Tabwas moved south over the border of Zaire into Zambia. They occupied the area from the Zairian border in the north to the Lufubu river in the south. From west to east their area covers 150km of land with Lake Tanganyika being the eastern border. In time they intermarried with some of the people groups in the area. As a result they developed their own "language"; it is a unique blend of Tabwa and Bemba called the Shila dialect. Because of their lack of education the Tabwa used to have a minority complex, but this is changing. Other tribes interact quite easily with the Tabwa and neighbour relations are good. Only 15% of the population live in the urban areas. Farming is their main source of income and they trade produce with the Haushi and Bemba speaking people. They are a polygamous society and live in groups of 20 people. Shelter consists of little huts made out of
