In addition to Sunday services, religious schools and various groups for women, men, adolescents, and children are common. Church members often gather after worship services for a ndoye, a celebration with singing and dancing to honour a famous church member. Members bring food, soap, and kerosene to the honoree, who in turn, serves coffee, tea and a light snack. Until the 19th century, artisans in the region produced many fine handmade items. The slave trade and the early years of colonization disrupted the development of crafts, and most of them disappeared. Today, woven mats and baskets, simple wooden utensils, carved stools, a rare mask, pottery, and musical instruments, including the balafon much like a xylophone but constructed with animal horns, skins, and wood are all that remain of older handiwork. More newly, handicraft workers have begun producing unique designs and pictures made from butterfly wings pasted to paper and some ebony and other tropical hardwood carvings.

Completely landlocked, it is bordered to the North by Chad, on the east by Sudan, on the south by Zaire and the Congo, and on the west by Cameroon. The southern border follows the bed of the Ubangi River; the eastern border coincides with the divide between the watersheds of the Nile and the Zaire rivers. The land consists of an undulating plateau varying in altitude from 2,000 to 2,500 ft. Two important escarpments are evident: In the northwest the Yade Massif, rising to 3,750 ft, is a high granite plateau related to the Adamawa Plateau of Cameroon; and in the northeast the Fertit Hills rise to 4,200 ft and extend into the Sudan. Soils are complex: sands and clays predominate, sometimes covered with a lateritic layer, over granite and quartz rocks. The land is well drained by two river systems: the Ugangi and its tributaries in the southern and the tributaries of the Shari and Longone rivers in the north. The two largest rivers are the Ubangi (1,300 km) and the Sangha (1,400km), both tributaries of the Zaire River.

Several Bantu kingdoms notably those of the Kongo, the Loango, and the Teke built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. The first European contacts came in the late 15th century, and commercial relationships were quickly established with the kingdomstrading for slaves captured in the interior. The coastal area was a major source for the transatlantic slave trade, and when that commerce ended in the early 19th century, the power of the Bantu kingdoms eroded.

Cultures of Senegal: Literature, Film, Music Political History of South Africa This course introduces students to the violent history and major political struggles of South Africa from its origins to the establishment of black majority rule in 1995. Through a synthesis of history and literature, we trace the turbulent course of South African society from the first Dutch clashes with the Khoisan through the British imperial wars with Zulu, Xhosa and 'Boer,' the rise and fall of apartheid in the late 20th century, to the emergence of the Rainbow Nation in the 1990s. We also examine South Africa through recent literature, the works of South Africa's Nobel laureates, Nadine Gordimer and J M Coetzee among them. The course is complemented by several field trips.
