DRAFT Southeastern Regional Seminar in African Studies A Brief History 15 January 1999 JOSEPH C. MILLER University of Virginia South Asianists had earlier achieved a considerable degree of organization in the region, largely through the outreach activities of the National Defense Education Act Title VI center at the University of Virginia, led by historian Professor Walter Hauser. There was also a Southern Atlantic States Association for Asian and African Studies (SASAAAS), oriented more toward teaching and public outreach than the SSRC Seminar program, but nonetheless illustrative of the possibilities of a regional organization in the enthusiastic participation it enjoyed. There was also interest in forming a less structured Southern Association of Africanists in the region, led by Ann Dunbar and others in central North Carolina, and focused on teaching outreach. Ann Dunbar organized the last meeting of the Seminar's first year at the University of North Carolina on April 20, 1974, focused on discussion of Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, with copies provided to all members. Akpan (South Carolina State College) and Nyang presented papers, with comments by Sagay and Thornton. (See report to SSRC, Appendix IId.) Expenses totaled $308.99. On the strength of the benefits that all participants felt they had gained from the Seminar's first year, and indications of continued sponsorship from several institutions in the region, the group resolved to apply for an extension of the Seminar's SSRC funding. All the papers from the year were filed with the Library of Congress through the chief its Exchange and Grant Division (Nathan R. Einhorn).

Taylor's New ULIMO Gambit: Implications For Sub-Regional Security By M. Tarnue Mawolo The Perspective February 23, 2001 Ever gullible and proned to manipulations, ECOWAS itself is fast becoming a hopelessly dangerous and unreliable instrument. Malian President, Alpha Omar Konare, visiting Liberia recently to confer with fellow Libyan payee, Charles Taylor, received more than an ear full of lecture from the Liberian President. Giving his diagnosis about the sub-regional mess, Taylor threatened that, among other things, "unless armed hostilities by ULIMO in the West African sub-region is immediately halted, no further progress will be made by ECOWAS member states to restore civil authorities throughout the continent ". "ULIMO-K" he said "is becoming a major threat to peace and security in West Africa. If the armed hostilities [of ULIMO] are not handled now, it may cause ECOWAS immense problems that may become (sic) unsuccessful in handling". By this escapade, Taylor is trying feverishly to substitute ULIMO for himself as the real cause of the problem in the West African Sub-region. But if history is anything to go by, then Taylor's lecture on peace and security certainly and accurately foretell the doom to come, and Guinea must now act or brace itself for a more biting calamity. Why should the activities of ULIMO (if any) in Liberia or Guinea derail progress towards the actualization of civil authorities "

A Conversation with Jared Diamond Tom Laichas Crossroads School Winner of a Pulitzer Prize, Japan's Cosmos Prize, and a MacArthur fellowship, Jared Diamond has become the best-known writer to explore world history. Guns, Germs, and Steel , his third book, has achieved unusual success among popular audiences as well as in high school and college courses. Diamond's recently published Collapse: How Some Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed recounts the environmental disasters engulfing a variety of peoples, among them Easter Islanders, Greenland's 11 th th century Norse settlers, Mayans, and contemporary Rwandans and Haitians. Yet Diamond insists that choice plays a role in a society's survival. Cultural choice (in this case, to continue agriculture rather than adapt to an increasingly hostile Arctic environment) doomed Greenland's Norse but not the neighboring Inuit. According to Diamond, not all choices are bad ones: political decisions have, he argues, thus far saved the Dominican Republic from neighboring Haiti's fate. While he takes no partisan shots, Diamond's agenda in

Home History Mission The Secretary ... Contact Info HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT The history of the Republic of the Philippines and that of the DFA are intertwined, and it is difficult to discuss the important events marking the passage of the years at the Department without somehow anchoring these to the rise of the Philippines as an independent nation. One hundred and one years ago, the DFA had its auspicious beginnings when President Emilio Aguinaldo appointed Apolinario Mabini as the Republic’s first Secretary of Foreign Affairs on 23 June 1898, eleven days after the declaration of Philippine independence at Kawit, Cavite. In effect, the DFA became the first government department set up by following the establishment of the First Philippine Republic in Malolos, Bulacan. Realizing the need for international recognition to support the legitimacy of his government, Aguinaldo assigned Mabini the difficult task of establishing diplomatic relations with friendly countries. Members of the Hong Kong Junta, a group of Filipino exiles in Hong Kong, served as the country’s envoys for this purpose. The Philippines did not take an active role in the crafting and execution of its foreign policy during the US colonial rule from 1898 to 1946, and during Japan’s shot period of occupation from 1942 to 1944. The country regained full control of foreign affairs and diplomatic matters on 4 July 1946, when Commonwealth Act No. 732 was passed creating the Department of Foreign Affairs. Shortly thereafter, President Manuel Roxas issued on 16 September of that year Executive Order No. 18 providing for the organization and operation of the DFA and the Foreign Service. The main tasks of the DFA then were to assist in postwar rehabilitation, formulate policies for investment promotion, and re-establish diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.

JEWS IN CAPE VERDE AND ON THE GUINEA COAST by Richard Lobban Paper presented at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth 11 February 1996 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND IN PORTUGAL In Iberia the Reconquista movement was growing in its mission to recover their lands from the Muslim Moors who had first arrived in the 8th century. Jews may have first arrived far earlier during the time of the Phonecians and Roman. Nevertheless, Maghrebi Jews were key allies of the Moors and centuries-long residents of Iberia. Probably as early as 1480 one may find the beginnings of the Spanish Inquisition and expulsion of Jews. It was however in 1492 the the Spanish Inquisition emerged in its fullest expression of intolerance, anti-Semitism. This social pathology quickly spread to neighboring Portugal where Portuguese Kings Joao II and especially Manuel I in 1496, determined to exile thousands of Jews to Sao Tome, Principe, and Cape Verde. The numbers expelled at this time were so great that the term Portuguese" almost implied those of Jewish origin. Those who were not expelled were converted by force or were even executed. Despite the important role of Portuguese Jews in commerce, navigational sciences, and in the cartography of Africa, they faced riots, pogroms, and profound oppression during the

A Selective History of Early Induction Research III Regional specificity early gastrula stages induced the most archencephalic (anterior) structures, whereas the blastopore lips of later embryos caused the differentiation of the more posterior neural elements. Two major sets of models were generated to explain these results. Both involved the notion of gradients. Here we have to digress briefly to discuss the concept of gradients in embryology. Until they were resurrected in the laboratory of Christiane NŸsslein-Volhard, "gradients" had been a "dirty word" for decades (4). There are several reasons for this, one of which was that they were ridiculed by a person who had been one of the leading investigators of such gradients, Thomas Hunt Morgan (5). The introduction of gradients into embryology is often credited to Boveri (6), who did introduce the term " GefŠlle " (gradient) into his work. However, as Sander (7) has made explicit, Boveri's concept of a gradient is not the one that we have today. His is more like a step-gradient, wherein the cell membrane separating two cells also separates two concentrations of the same substance. His illustrations, however, show a graded character from the vegetal to the animal pole, and this makes it appear that there are threshold-related gradients in these embryos. Numerous investigators attempted to use gradients to explain the results of Mangold's experiments. The
