Unit Four Regional Perspectives Module Nineteen: East Africa Activity Three: Culture, Society and Production in East Africa INTRODUCTION We have now looked at some of the history, international relations, and geography of East Africa in Activities One and Two. But what is daily life like for East Africans? What are some of their cultural practices, ways they organize themselves socially, and how do their economies work? These are some of the questions that we will get at in Activity Three. CULTURE IN EAST AFRICA What is a culture? You may remember dealing with this question in Module 8: Culture and Society in Africa . The word culture can be used in many different ways. Sometimes people use it to only refer to expressive arts (music, dance, and visual arts). Sometimes people use it to generally describe the way of life of a group of people. The latter is the way that we will use the word culture in this activity. Just as cultures in America are very diverse, so are cultures in East Africa. East Africans have many different cultural traditions that they practice, even within the same country. For this reason, we have chosen two specific cultural traditions out of many that have developed in East Africa for you to learn about. MUSIC AND DANCE IN SEYCHELLES Seychelles is a melting pot of various African, European, and Asian cultures. The islands were settled by Europeans who brought African slaves to work on their plantations during the 18th century. Later in the 19th century, Indian and Chinese traders arrived as well. Most people in Seychelles today are of mixed descent from these backgrounds.

Print this page Annual Report Pretoria, regional delegation (Comoros, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa and Swaziland) Introduction Comoros Lesotho Madagascar ... Swaziland Introduction The transfer of regional responsibilities to the Pretoria-based ICRC delegation on 1 January 1995 reflected the new-found political stability in southern Africa. In February the South African government and the ICRC signed a new Status Agreement, defining the ICRC's position as a regional delegation for southern Africa and the Indian Ocean. Despite the generally peaceful climate, however, insecurity still reigned in some areas. The South African province of KwaZulu/Natal and certain townships of Gauteng province were still plagued by politicized violence. Political unrest in Lesotho and Swaziland demonstrated that there too stability was not to be taken for granted. In the strife-ridden areas of South Africa the ICRC ran relief operations in conjunction with the National Society, distributing food parcels, kitchen sets, jerricans, plastic sheeting and blankets to thousands of victims. Beyond this, the main activities developed by the ICRC in the region involved promoting the role of the Red Cross, teaching international humanitarian law to defence forces and providing protection for detainees. Delegates made unannounced visits to police stations in KwaZulu/Natal to check the conditions of detention of people arrested in connection with political violence.

Small Island Voice Results of a Community Survey, October 2002 Prepared by Mr. Alain De Comarmond Small Islands Voice National Coordinator Policy, Planning and Services Division, Ministry of Environment Mr. Matthew Servina Center for Rights and Development Small Islands Voice Steering Committee member PROJECT BACKGROUND Small Island Voice (SIV) is a long-term project proposed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) intersectoral platform for Environment and Development in Coastal Regions and Small Islands. One aim of SIV is to promote participation of small island civil society in the review of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Programme of Action (ten years after the Barbados meeting in 1994 for SIDS). The Minister of the Environment officially launched the project in March 2002, and the project is coordinated by the Ministry of Environment. A project steering committee meets on a monthly basis and comprises representatives from the public service as well non-governmental organizations (NGOs). SIV seeks to ensure that the voice of civil society on environment and development issues in Small Island Developing States constitutes a core component of Barbados + 10, and that through a continuous feedback-driven mode, civil society's views become an effective catalyst for on-the-ground action up to and beyond 2004. With this in mind training and capacity building are key components of this project.

36. Bancroftiana, Number 121 Fall 2002: From The Regional Oral History Office Berkel early fieldwork was in Mauritius and seychelles in the Indian Ocean. From the regional Oral history Office Berkeley Anthropologists Have Their Say http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/events/bancroftiana/121/fromroho.html

From the Regional Oral History Office Berkeley Anthropologists Have Their Say Anthropologist Elizabeth Colson doesn't often think of the past. If asked, however, she easily recalls the year 1946, when she first traveled to Africa. Taking field supplies from Johannesburg, she and two other researchers journeyed for three days to Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). There she met a fellow anthropologist, J. Desmond Clark. "Desmond somehow knew we were coming, and he met our train," she says. Colson, an American from Minnesota, and Clark, a Londoner, crossed paths that year when she became senior research officer and then director of the Rhodes- Livingstone Institute. He was curator of the David Livingstone Memorial Museum. "With Desmond, of course, prehistory was everything," Colson says, "although as curator of the museum he had to be interested in contemporary things, too." Desmond Clark's death in February 2002 ended this friendship of more than half a century. But the stories survive. Clark, Colson, and three other anthropologists recently documented their experiences through oral histories. Available as manuscripts and on the Web, the interviews complement Bancroft's other holdings in anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. As told in the oral histories, Colson and Clark each spent substantial time in Africa, directing institutions and lighting up the developing field of anthropology with their work. While he pursued prehistory, she explored social-cultural issues among the Plateau and Gwembe Tonga. Both joined the Berkeley faculty in the 1960s.

40. IIASN8-Profile Of The Seychelles The modern political history of the seychelles began in the 1960s when and activities that can be implemented at both national and regional levels. http://www.iias.nl/iiasn/iiasn8/iswa/seychell.html

IIAS Newsletter 8 A Profile of the Seychelles The Seychelles are frequently neglected by various study groups that operate at the institutional level. With this country profile Raymond de-Silva hopes to stimulate scientific research on the archipelago. By Raymond de-Silva The republic of Seychelles is situated in the Western Indian Ocean between 4 and 11 degrees south of the equator, and comprises a group of 115 islands with a land area of 455 square kilometres, spread over an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of over 1.3 million square kilometres. The climate is equatorial, with an annual average rainfall of 2115 millimetres. Humidity is uniformly high at an average of 80% and mean temperatures range from a minimum of 24 degrees Celsius to a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. Most of the islands are situated outside the area affected by seasonal cyclones. The northwest monsoon (December - March) and the southeast trade winds (May-october) seldom bring winds in excess of 60 knots. History In the Indian Ocean region, the Seychelles are one of the few island groups that were never off-shore parcels of the civilizations of Africa or Asia. The islands had no pre- colonial history. Although the islands comprising the Seychelles had been visited earlier, the first documented exploration of the main granitic islands was carried out in 1609 by an English expedition. The islands then remained uninhabited for a further 160 years, although they were visited regularly by navigators who exploited their timber, freshwater and food resources. For some time the islands were also used as a base for pirates.
