South Africa Bom Bom Islands Botswana Gabon ... Zimbabwe One of the smallest, unspoilt Africa countries, The Gambia is situated on the beautiful West African coast midway between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator, on approximately the same latitude as Barbados. Mostly flat and shaped like a crooked finger, a narrow strip of land on either side of the majestic River Gambia from which it takes its name. The capital, Banjul, located on the south side of the river estuary is the administrative and commercial centre of the country and is of minor cultural and historic interest to tourists. The majority of tourist hotels are several miles away, spread out along the coastline of the peninsular which boasts 25 miles of uncrowned sandy beaches. Known as the smiling coast, The Gambia with its unsophisticated charm has much to offer all year round, sub-tropical climate, fascinating African culture, exotic gardens, miles of deserted beaches, nature reserves, quality hotels, craft markets, interesting excursions and some of the most friendly people on earth. The pace of life is slow and unhurried, perhaps frustratingly so, until you have had time to acclimatise. Home About Us Kruger Park Tours RSA Tours ... Links emarketing by quirk

Activities Printer friendly Gambia: JAMES ISLAND and related sites Project Partners LOCAL PARTNERS AFRICA 2009 OPERATORS FINANCIAL PARTNERS IMAGES The site James Island and its related sites are the vestige of the conflicts between various European traders, which settled in the region since the 15th century to exploit the rich lands of Gambia. Built in 1651, the Fort provided a strategic defensive position and an effective staging post for the shipment of slaves. The fort suffered many raids and counter raids between the French and the English, who fought over its control for more than hundred years. Partly destroyed and reconstructed several times, the fort was destroyed by the French in 1779 and finally abandoned in 1829. James Island has now become a major tourist attraction in the Gambia with more than 15 000 visitors per year, mainly Europeans and African-Americans. James Island is related to 5 other sites testifying of the Afro-European encounter along the river: Fort Bullen, CFAO building and a Portuguese chapel in Juffureh, San Domingo ruins and the 6-gun battery in Banjul. Objectives - reinforce NCAC's capacities through practical and scientific experience offered to the conservators and local actors - implement conservation works on James island and the 5 sites related to the history of colonisation by the Europeans

MTAS Student Report: MTSU's History Department Field Trip The Gambia, West Africa, Summer 1998 MTSU senior Vic Matthews ready for a fantastic summer adventure in 1998. Vic was a history major and anthropology minor at MTSU. She was president of Middle Tennessee Anthropology Society and was also active in MTSU Special Events/Concerts. Vic's report of her trip follows. "From May 29 through July 6, 1998, I visited The Gambia, West Africa, with Dr. Bakari's group from the history department here at Middle Tennessee State University. There were fifteen of us from MTSU and we met up with others from different universities from across the U.S. " "We mainly stayed in a town called Bakau, but traveled to many other areas as well. We had class each day Monday through Friday from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. and took many field trips. There was a total of fifty-one students, so sometimes it was hard to get transportation for the entire group. Other days we would have free time and it was during those times that I learned more about the culture, tribes, and politics of The Gambia." "Everyday was a new adventure and I learned more about culture, life, and myself than I did in four years of classroom college. Going out and living in different cultures has helped me to realize that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life."

Seminar in African Art and Culture Art, Architecture and Tradition; Building Identity in West Africa Prof. Peter Mark Department of Art History Wesleyan Universit Email: pmark@wesleyan.edu Course Description: This seminar investigates some of the diverse ways in which West African peoples have articulated their sense of who they are by means of the buildings they construct and the material culture they create. We will focus on architecture in historical perspective, and on the contemporary phenomenon of revitalized ritual and folklore. The course begins by asking fundamental questions about Art History. Is the discipline able to encompass broad issues of contemporary African culture and identity? Is African Art itself a meaningful concept? Or is it hopelessly bound to Western culture? At the same time, the introductory meetings offer a critical reevaluation of other analytical categories. If we retain the concept of "African art," contemporary culture forces us to redefine its boundaries to include such largely twentieth century phenomena as folkloric dance and the re-creation of self-consciously "traditional" religious rituals. And the African subjects of our study, too, must be redefined, insofar as the "ethnic group," viewed in historical perspective, ceases to exist as a fixed feature of the African cultural landscape. Ethnic identity is itself in constant change. What is ethnicity anyway, and how is ethnic identity related to culture?

For a time, it was part of the Ghana empire (centerd in modern-day Mauritania) and then the Songhais who brought Islam to the region. Then, in the 13th century, the river basin came under the control of Mandingo and Susu people based in what is now Mali. Mandingo influence waned with the decline of the Mali empire at the end of the 16th century, just as the first contacts with the British were taking place at the mouth of the River Gambia. A variety of rival African powers, including the Fula from northern Nigeria, followed by the Marabouts and the Soninkas, vied for influence during much of the next 200 years. During the colonial period, several European powers contested for ownership of the river and the rich trade which it carried. Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) as his political vehicle. The election at the end of September duly brought victory for Jammeh and, in January 1997, the APRC won an overwhelming majority of the seats in the poll for a new National Assembly. The most recent presidential and legislative polls in October 2001 and January 2002 repeated the results of five years earlier, leaving Jammeh and the APRC firmly in control of The Gambia.

It is a by-product of a relation between people and a society speaks out through its culture. Culture gives expression to the social thought, beliefs and values of human beings. A society which has no culture would be composed of persons who are expressionless. Cultural tools, like songs, dances, drama, have been utilised as coping mechanisms to prevent total social disintegration. This has been the strength of many African societies. The sense of community has served as a welfare system for many African societies where the old, the disabled and children are given protection. Even though poverty increases dependency and causes strain to the providers, without the sense of community the weight of poverty would be much heavier. The Gambia is a multi ethnic and multi cultural society. There is no area in the Gambia which is entirely habited by one ethnic group. The ethnic groups are closely knit together by cohabitation and therefore, there is a certain cultural symbiosis among them.

56. Stone Circles Of The Gambia Stone circles of The gambia. Wasu Stone Circles. Although West africa has no to decentralise its services and preserve the gambia s cultural heritage. http://home3.inet.tele.dk/mcamara/stones.html

Stone circles of The Gambia Wasu Stone Circles Although West Africa has no monuments comparable to the Pyramids and Temples of Ancient Egypt or the ruins of Zimbabwe, it has in the stone circles of the Senegal and the Gambia impressive remains that have puzzled the few travellers who have examined them. Stone circles of many types are found throughout Europe and the Near East, though nowhere is there so large a concentration as found on the north bank of the river Gambia. It is fair to assume that the presence of such a large groupe of monuments of a similar type in a relatively localised setting implies the presence of a well established, dynamic culture. The question remains: Who? The area involved covers some 15,000 square miles between the Saloum and Gambia Rivers. Here there are hundreds of circles containing many curious features and in particular the unique V or Lyre stones. The commonest shape is round like a pillar with a flat top. Others are square; some taper upwards. There are small stones with a cup-shaped hollow on top. Others have a ball cut in the round top of the stone. There is a recumbent stone shaped like a pillow. The stone circles at Kerr Batch The Circles are composed of standing stones between ten and twenty four in any particular circle. One of the striking feature is that almost all the stones forming a given circle are of the same height and size. Their height above the ground varying between two hundred and forty five (245cm) centimeters and sixty centimeters (60cm). The diameter is from thirty centimeters (30cm) to one hundred centimeters (100cm).

It has been made famous in the rest of the world by Alex Haley, author of Roots, tracing his ancestors back to the village of Juffure. "Roots" and the tv serialization of this novel directed the eyes of the world on to the plight of the Africans that were taken into slavery and their struggle for emancipation. This struggle lasted for over 300 years and at the cost of millions of lives. The Gambia not only offers unspoiled traditional villages and superb beaches but is also a stable political environment. Mysterious Wassu Stone Circles are located 25 km northwest of Georgetown near the town of Kuntaur. Banjul is the capital of Gambia. Until 1973, it was known as Bathhurst. Banjul is a port city on the Atlantic Ocean and lies near the mouth of the Gambia river.
