To Guide Entry Unit Purpose To understand what impact the Atlantic Slave Trade had on Africa and the African people, through the analysis of literature and film. Introduction At one point in recent history, almost the entire continent of Africa was dominated by the continent to the north. Now there are over fifty unique and independent nations in Africa. The processes by which Africa was first controlled by Europe and then by which it liberated itself was a long and complex struggle of forces historical and geographical, external and internal. It is the goal of this unit to examine the conditions of Africa and African society before this period of domination and the effect of this domination had on the African people. Also, this unit will examine how Africa and Africans are portrayed in film. Films from both Hollywood and Africa will be analyzed and contrasted. Since independence, each individual nation has fared differently, but the results of a quick search

PANEL 26d (SH) Images of Africa dijkr@fsw.leidenuniv.nl; bruijnm@fsw.leidenuniv.nl Panel abstract The creation of images of Africa is an ongoing process with a long dating history. This panel aims to explore the production and mediation by Western scholarship (of different disciplines) of images of Africa and how these are confronted and appropriated by local, regional and national actors in Africa. Panel summary "A great green grave": The roots of government policy in colonial and postcolonial images of Pemba, Zanzibar Liz McMahon, Indiana University, African Studies emmcmaho@indiana.edu This paper examines how the colonial construction of images of Pemba (Zanzibar) allows us to understand both the development of colonial policies and sheds light on the mechanics of Revolutionary attitudes to the island. These images underscore Pemban efforts to remain in control of their land by pushing outsiders away.

Indiana: Indiana University Press. Martin and O'Meara (1995) dispel any misconceptions one might have about Africa today. They present the reader with an objective perspective on the problems facing Africans today: the diversity, the conflicts, and the changesall a result of Western interference. Africa, more that three times the size of the United States, includes fifty- three very diverse countries and a population of about 700 million people. Africans are divided not only by boundaries, which did not exist prior to colonization, but also by ethnic identities, class distinctions, urban and rural experiences, geographic barriers, and vast distances. Population varies widely (Gabon- one million; Nigeria- 115 million). Ways of life vary dramatically. Some live in cities and work in offices or skyscrapers, buy clothes from department stores and have all of the modern conveniences- yet may travel to the rural areas for traditional festivals, to see healers or to visit extended families. Rural community members may seldom visit the cities, may walk miles for water in the dry season, and listen to transistor radios as they welcome a relative back from graduate studies overseas.

In fact we can learn important historical facts from the periods in which names like Colored, and Negro distinguished Black people. However, before we look at the historical development of these names, is there an answer to the question Why? Why is it that Black people in America are the only people on earth that has somebody always changing their name? If White people are not calling Blacks something other than Black, Blacks are calling themselves some name other than Black. Thus, in the midst of all this name confusion is the name game. The constant campaign by White America to confuse Black people about their history and origins is a game. In fact Blacks get involved in this name game also. When White people name Blacks one thing Blacks have come along and named themselves something else.

The Dogon have survived for centuries, withstanding constant slave raiding parties of the successive empires of Ghana, the Sonrai, the Mossi, the Sao, the Fulani, and the Muslims from the north. Consequently, the Dogon have evolved a keen sense of cultural preservation and an ability to withstand outside forces of change.'

Klabunde, is on view in Frenchtown through June 23. Above, portrait of a Maasai woman. Animal and plant species are becoming extinct at a rate of thousands per day. More subtle, but equally devastating, is the disappearance of people living within primitive, indigenous cultures who have dwindled down to mere handfuls, especially in Central Africa. Although he is not as sociologist, artist Charles Klabunde blames this on the spread of diseases like AIDS, civil wars and globalization. As well intentioned as they may be, missionaries hoping to convert these people to Western religions are slowly extinguishing these "mask societies" and their animistic beliefs. "Monotheism has moved into places like Mali and in the process of removing the native cultures, leaves the people in a state of stress, trying to find their true identity," Mr. Klabunde says. "Islam and Christianity (forces) the indigenous people to give up their native spiritual images, which the Westerners think is just part of a pagan religion. They don't see how important these images are to the native culture, and they try to replace them with something alien. "(Westerners) think we're civilizing these people, but some of these cultures have been in place for 5,000 years, long before the rise and reign of European civilizations. It's very sad that we're seeing an end to this reality, seeing these cultures diminish."
