It is bordered to the north by the Sahara Desert and to the south by tropical Africa. SOS Sahel International, a network of European and African nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), works with the rural peoples of the Sahel by supporting community actions that focus on conserving natural resources and increasing family food production. The following two papers provide a description of the SOS Sahel Oral History Project. The first paper is an abbreviated version of the projects final report and describes how traditional knowledge about ecological change and past agricultural and conservation techniques can directly benefit a development project; in this case, the implementation of a community forestry program. The second paper presents a personal account of a community researcher who worked on the project. Documenting Oral History in the African Sahel By Rhiannon Barker and Nigel Cross

A number of research and community oriented projects are currently being developed at the Center for Black Studies. The Center's pre-doctoral fellowship program continues to be successful as demonstrated by the very large number of first-rate candidates who apply for our pre-doc positions. The candidates chosen by the Center are often offered other nationally competitive fellowships. This year's fellows were able to make considerable progress towards the completion of their dissertations. Former fellows nationwide were asked to contribute to an anthology that the Center is publishing. We all view the Center as a viable and valuable unit on campus. However, it is also clear that it will take a lot of effort and commitment over the next few years to bring it to the next level of excellence.

Cahiers d'©tudes africaines ©tudes et essais Article Andreas W. Massing The Wangara, an Old Soninke Diaspora in West Africa? R©sum© Les Wangara, une vieille diaspora soninke d'Afrique de l'Ouest ? Abstract The Wangara are a central element of a Soninke diaspora and go back for centuries in history, namely to the Soninke kingdom of Ghana. They were known as Wakor©, who probably obtained royal trade privileges. Certain groups holding the imamates in key settlements such as the Sa(gha)nogo, Kamaghat©, Diaba(gha)t©, Timit©, Ciss©- Haidara, Fofana and Bagayogo are of Soninke origin, but other people identify themselves with them claiming "Wangara" status. Certain identity markers remain stable over the centuries: long-distance trade in precious commodities, Moslem, scholars and imams; the ethnic groups identified with them do shift and are often not Mande but assimilated to their group identity aspiring to integration in the trade network: Bambara, Bobo, Senoufo, Songhay, Hausa, Gonja and others. Texte int©gral M ore than a decade ago an article of mine on the Mande diaspora on the Malagueta coast and Sierra Leone appeared in this journal (Massing 1985). Inspired since then by the Mande colonies further to the east, in Burkina Faso, Ghana and the Ivory Coast, I have investigated some of the older elements, neglected then, which have played an important role in the history and diaspora of the Western Sudan and were important in the exchange between the Guinea coast and the Sahel, and attempted to clarify their identity and context. While Dupuis (1966), Wilks (1982, 1995), Lovejoy (1978), Fuglestead (1978), Law (1995) and others have dealt with the Wangara in specific contexts, namely the trade in Hausaland in the 16th century or in the Mande-Akan borderland in the 19th century

Burkina Faso QUICK FACTS: BURKINA FASO Size: 274,200 square kilometers Population: Religions: Muslim, 50 percent; indigenous beliefs; Christian Life Expectancy: 44 years Average Annual Income: $220 USD Ethnic groups: Mossi, more than 40 percent; Gurunsi; Senufo; Lobi; Bobo; Mande; Fulani (Source: U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, World Factbook 2003) Efforts with The Carter Center and the government of Burkina Faso have resulted in a 98 percent reduction in cases of Guinea worm in the nation in 2003. Building Hope Formerly known as Upper Volta, Burkina Faso achieved independence from France in 1960. With few natural resources and a high population density, the people of Burkina Faso are some of the poorest in West Africa and the world. Many must travel to neighboring Cote d'Ivoire or Ghana to find work. The problems facing the people of Burkina Faso are not easy, but The Carter Center hopes that through a partnership with the government of Burkina Faso, agricultural development and disease eradication programming will empower the nation. Fighting Disease Guinea Worm Eradication Program Current Status: Endemic Indigenous cases reported in 2004: The Carter Center's Guinea Worm Eradication Program has worked in conjunction with the government of Burkina Faso and other international organizations to eradicate Guinea worm disease from Burkina Faso since the national program began in 1992. The Burkina Faso program has been a great success: the incidence of Guinea worm disease has been reduced more than 99 percent, from 11,784 cases in 1992 to 35 indigenous cases reported in 2004.

Quiñones-Benítez Contents of Curriculum Unit 01.04.08: Narrative Introduction Overview Brief History of Puerto Rico ... To Guide Entry Introduction Overview Brief History of Puerto Rico Christopher Columbus and his European crew were the first Spanish sponsored expedition to Puerto Rico. They arrived to the island, called Boriken by its indigenous people, in Nov. 19, 1493. They found an island populated by the Tainos, peace loving and brave people, who are said to be indigenous of the North America. As opposed to the previous inhabitants the Arawaks who came from South America. The Spanish called the island San Juan Bautista and the capital Puerto Rico. Later, the names were switched and to this day the island remains Puerto Rico; rich port. In 1509 Puerto Rico was appointed its first Spanish head of government, Don Juan Ponce de Leon. Concerned about threats from European enemies, forts were build since 1521 to protect the island from invasion and the gold stored from being stolen. Brutally used for mining the Tainos started to flee, disappear, or simply die. Although the accounts of the Taino civilization were not documented by the "conquistadores" in depth, enough archeological evidence and writings from the church revealed a thriving community that was in existence prior to the arrival of the Europeans. In 1809 Puerto Rico was recognized as an overseas province and in 1898 had been granted autonomy. In July of 1898 the United States invaded Puerto Rico. The Spaniards had granted ownership of the island as part of the Spanish American war. Although the "criollos" knew about the Paris Treaty, they refuse surrendering and fought to prevent invasion to no avail.
