John Monroe wrote an essay that was published on www.tribalartforum.org that deals with authenticity regarding Igbo masks and did a fantastic job with the article. (See a link to the article in my Educational Resources page on my site) John Monroe stated the following in the beginning of his essay that captured my feelings exactly, he just said it better than I could have, so I would like to quote him: "For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of getting to know African art is the process of "eye sharpening" that happens as you learn more about the material. Knowledge and experience can open up whole new worlds - it's a matter of learning how to see a particular kind of beauty that isn't readily accessible to someone accustomed to European art. When collectors and dealers refer to this process of eye-training, they generally talk about learning to distinguish the "authentic" from the "fake," with

Random thoughts and structured monthly stories from South East Asia. Enjoy :-) Monday, March 07, 2005 Borneo - White water rafting Borneo has been always a mystery of a unique jungle world to me. Documentary movies are showing its tropical flora and fauna, its indigenous people so when I got the chance to get a bit of taste of this experience! I set off with three friends: Taka (Japan), Sean (South Africa) and Nicole (Switzerland) were also all excited about the Borneo discovery! One afternoon we headed to Senai Airport to take a two-hour-long flight to Kota Kinabalu (KK). We enjoyed the view over the South China Sea during the sunset and in the evening we arrived to the world's third biggest island! The owner of our backpackers place sent a driver for us to the airport. Kota Kinabalu is around quarter of an hour away but those 15 minutes certainly brought a shocking surprise to us: the locals don't care much about speeding limits and in one of the crossroads the driver of a red car decided to go through the red light and we crashed. Sean and Nicole got some slight injuries and a 6-8-year-old boy got scars on his face due to the glass chips all around. It was said to be 'not serious enough' so there was no inspection of the accident but the experience resulted in paranoia whenever a taxi driver was breaking... 'What a beginning'!

Borneo Country and Travel Information Sabah Information Sarawak Information Map of Borneo (65 K) General The days of savage tribesmen and headhunting are history. From cities to jungle heartland, the people of modern day Sabah, comprising of 32 different ethnic tribes, ranging from Sea gypies in the east coast and isolated inland up river communities, often wow visitors with their exceptional friendliness. Malaysia's commitment to religious plurality and economic equality has created enduring harmony and peace in multi-cultural Sabah. The wilderness has largely remainsed till this day, with over 50 percent of the land still swathed in tropical rainforests estimated over 125 million years old, and teeming with endless diversity of unique plants and animals. Noted environmentalist and nature TV documentary producer, Professor David Bellamy once described Sabah as one of the world's greatest natural theme parks. Anthropologists believe the indigenous natives are descendants of Austronesian ancestry who made their way here no less than 5000 years ago.

Weapons in Context Extract from Spring's African Weapons Weapons and Society Weapons and Warfare History and the 'Ethnographic Present' Earth and Fire: Iron Technology and the Blacksmith ... Main 'thinking about objects' page Introduction (pp 9-19; references given by Spring are fully cited in the bibliography This book is primarily intended as a celebration of African artistry and ingenuity. It also attempts to show the way in which arms and armour are incorporated into the complex material systems which express the structure of non-industrialised societies. The book takes as its subject a particular category of artefact which may not conform to Western preconceptions of what constitutes African art, but this should not be allowed to detract from our appreciation. Furthermore, the creativity which has gone into the production of African arms and armour must not be obscured by the fact that these artefacts are often used in a context which attests to man's most negative and destructive cultural proclivity. At the risk of playing devil's advocate, I believe that to underrate the significance of these artefacts within the societies which produced them would be to overlook a whole range of human endeavour and activity. Weapons and Society It is difficult both to detect and to analyse the concept of aesthetic appreciation in societies which do not appear to have a perception of 'art' as we in the West understand it. However, there is some evidence to suggest that there is a considerable difference between the type of object which might be considered of aesthetic significance in an African as opposed to a Western context. As Vaughan (1973) has pointed out, the Marghi of Northern Nigeria 'do not consider rock paintings or calabash decorations fitting topics for artistic activity, while they do view weapons as products which are worthy of an aesthetic appreciation'.

PRE-COLONIAL MIGRATIONS AND AGRICULTURAL CHANGE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF LAKE MALAWI Kings M. Phiri Introduction One of the commonest themes in the pre-colonial history of Malawi is that of how many of the ethnic groups whose homogeneity we take for granted today were apparently composed from the coming together over time of different streams of immigrants. The migrations in question, in other words, have been discussed and analysed in terms of their political consequences. In this paper, however, our primary concern is to explore the relationship which appears to have existed between such migrations, on the hand and socio-economic change in general and agricultural change in particular, on the other. The discussion is for ease of reference limited to what took place in the Malawi section of the Great Rift Valley from the fifteenth to late nineteenth century, using such archaeological, oral and written sources on the subject as have been readily available to the writer. Besides the famous Maravi migrations which took place at the beginning of the period with which the paper is concerned, there were three large-scale migrations or mass movements of people into the area along the western coast of Lake Malawi in pre-colonial times on which we shall be focusing. One was that of a people historically referred to as the Ngulube who migrated to the northwestern side of the lake from Ukinga or Kinga country on the northeastern side. The other was that of immigrants known as Balowoka (those who crossed over) who ended up occupying a number of areas between the middle and upper sections of the west coast of the lake after having migrated from such places as Uphangwa, Mwela and Liuli on the eastern side. And thirdly, there was the migration of the Arab-Swahili traders and their Nyamwezi and Yao allies from coastal areas of mainland Tanzania to several enclaves which they eventually created for themselves on the western side of the lake.

I stumbled across this sight when looking for advice to and help on my MP...And I noticed this topic that wasn't about any disease :p I'm very interested in other cultures and traditions. I'm born and raised in Finland, so I'm Finnish though I recently moved to Sweden (still Scandinavia though!) My fiancé is from Zambia, southern Africa. We met while I was volunteering there. So now I have two homelands, Finland and Zambia! Kathy M, I noticed that you're part Finnish ( I think you can say that! :D ) If you'd like to know something more about Finland/Finns etc. don't hesitate to ask! I've also lived a year in the states and got to know some Native Americans in Michigan (where I lived) they where Potawatamis of Pokagon (I appologise if I spell it wrong!) I was invited to a few gatherings and we did some dancing and games, it was so much fun! What I admired the most was the sense of unity among the people, even though it's a really small tribe yet they felt so strong! I've also lived in "the bush" (as they call it :D ) in Zambia for 6 months. It was an awesome experience to live in a rural village with no electricity and no running water. That's how I really got to know Zambian culture.

The Latest Language in the News August 2004 Bilinguals dream in second language. Differences in the age at which the second language was acquired (either before or after the age of 8) did not make a difference in the preferred language for dreaming. How fluent a person is in a second language, the length of residence in the country of the second language and the language of the person's elementary education were more predictive factors. German language Laurel and Hardy film found July 2004 Actor Cosby hits out at language Black actor Bill Cosby has criticised young African-Americans for the use of "profane" language. The Cosby Show star said some younger people were embracing what he said amounted to a damaging educational gap. Addressing a black civil rights conference, Cosby attacked "curse" words that he said were used by some black men in the US. Defending criticism of similar comments in May, he said his accusers were trying to hide "dirty laundry". "I'm talking about profanity. I'm talking about people cursing at each other," Cosby told his audience in Chicago. (The actor holds a Doctorate of Education.)

Print Print Preview African Art and Architecture Article View On the File menu, click Print to print the information. African Art and Architecture V. Regional Differences Africa is the second largest continent (after Asia) and comprises more than 50 independent countries. The continent is home to more than 1,000 ethnic groups with as many different languages ( see African Languages). Differences in geography, politics, religion, and economics have shaped its numerous artistic traditions. Western and central Africa seem to have had stronger artistic traditions than the rest of the continent to the east and south. Good conditions for cultivating crops, a settled rather than nomadic population, and the existence of large kingdoms and city-states may have strengthened the impetus to create in this region. However, African societies that were not primarily agricultural also produced rich artistic and architectural traditions. Ways of life change, and scholars can sometimes trace changes in a society through its works of art. For example, the Chokwe people of Angola, in central Africa, created very dignified wooden statues of Chibinda Ilunga, a legendary hero who introduced a new hunting technique to them in the 1600s. The Chokwe are now farmers, but the honor accorded this figure in their art indicates that hunting must once have been central to their survival. Vigorous artistic traditions developed in many towns and city-states of western Africa, where trade was the driving economic force. Yet the presence of trade in parts of eastern and southern Africa did not produce artistic traditions of comparable importance.
