21. Religions Of The World -- African Within the last 100 years in africa (see Table of Statistics) indigenous The major faith found among the yoruba people is called Ifa (it is also a name http://members.aol.com/porchfour/religion/african.htm

Interfaith Religion and Beliefs for an Internet Generation PORCH NUS The E-Zine of The Front Porch Religions of the World African Religions and Their Derivatives African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. Within the last 100 years in Africa (see Table of Statistics ) indigenous religion has declined under the influence of colonialism, Western acculturation and proselytizing by Islam and Christianity. In the African Diaspora (mainly in the Americas) African-derived belief systems are in a state of impressive growth. ithin just the last two years the amount of information made available through the Internet is also impressive. Some of the best information comes to us from Italy, Sweden and Brazil. We are no longer dependent upon reports from academia or encyclopedias. There are now numerous websites maintained by the faithful themselves and, while the quality and quantity of information varies enormously among them, one may now hear from practitioners their own statements of faith. In many, if not most, cases African spirituality has evolved in the Americas. Ancient practices brought westward by slaves became syncretized, more or less, with religious traditions of the slaves' masters. This syncretization is most noticeable in areas dominated by the Catholic faith and where the celebration of saints, votive offerings and other practices found parallels in ancient traditions.

P.O.Box 48, Asmara, Eritrea. 2000 PAGES: 317 PRICES: US$21.95 For many whose knowledge of Africa is limited to the images and stories that hit the newsstands daily of wailing and mayhem, and the fact that the continent was battered by slave trade and colonialism, African indigenous sages, thinkers, philosophers, and chroniclers are unknown quantities. These native thinkers, to add insult to injury, were overlooked by African elites because they had had some Western education. As a result, when Africans talk about elites, they talk only in terms of those who have been to Western-structured education systems, and do not include indigenous African intellectuals. Yoruba Gurus not only attempts to fix the African intellectual typology but counter the erroneous view held by ignorant Africans and their Western accompliances about African indigenous thinkers or chroniclers. Said the back of the book," In the quest to promote "universal knowledge" and create Western institutions in Africa, the intellectual contributions of Africans without university certificates or connections to the academy have been maligned, ignored or slighted. Yet, as Toyin Falola’s book points out, there are African scholars and thinkers without academic credentials doing important works. Here is book that shows that intellectual contributions need not be divorced from the concerns of local communities or deliberately promote narrative inequality and distance."

Jenda: A Journal of Culture and African Women Studies (2001) ISSN: 1530-5686 AFRICAN WOMEN AND POWER: REFLECTIONS ON THE PERILS OF UNWARRANTED COSMOPOLITANISM Introduction: Gender, Globalization, Cosmopolitanism and Hybridity Since the ethos of the age of postmodern globalism is to consider the local and how it crosscuts with the global, it is worthwhile to foreground cosmopolitanism, globalization and hybridity. Cosmopolitanism implies multiple origins, being worldly, being au courant, being experienced in the ways of the world, being complex rather than simple, being all-inclusive, pervasive, being able to exist in, and affect the whole world. Globalization also implies the ability to cover a wide scope. It implies pervasiveness, inclusivity, and worldwide trends. Similarly, hybridity also carries notions of melding, mixing, and multiple origins. The homogenization of the woman question is primarily attributable to the Western hegemony in scholarship, funding and in the production of knowledge. In consequence, hybridity and cosmopolitanism have become the new and dominant ideologies. Consequently, many studies are churned out that explain not very much and Africa remains an enigma in the Western imagination. More seriously, Africa becomes even more of an enigma when Africans favor a variety of hybridity and cosmopolitanism that erases. African cultural philosophies are irrelevant to the constitution of ideals and desired values. To demonstrate what I mean, let me quickly make the following observations:

31. WorldViews: The Peoples Of Africa One final caution that is germane to the study of africa s peoples is that the word indigenous peoples, with the peoples of africa included among them. http://worldviews.igc.org/awpguide/peoples.html

AFRICA: Africa World Press Guide compiled and edited by WorldViews AFRICA'S PEOPLES A rich diversity of ancient and proud societies T here are strengths and weaknesses attached to the study of Africa through a focus on the continent's diverse and numerous peoples. The strengths are that the continent is reduced to a more manageable size, the diversity and the rich traditions of Africa's peoples are accentuated, and the similiarities and differences among peoples everywhere in the world can be identified and analyzed. Finally, a study of the particularities of discrete societies throughout the African continent cha llenges the misperception of Africa as an undifferentiated mass of peoples. The attendant weaknesses in this approach are that Africa's population of 735 million may be reduced to exotic images and stereotypes of one or another African society or they may remain frozen in the context of the particular historical period or geog raphic locale being studied. In the introdution to his book, The Shona and their Neighbours (Beach 1994), historian David Beach (University of Zimbabwe) clearly delineates the traps that can ensnare the unwary in a study of the peoples of Africa. H e takes, as just one example, the rock paintings and stone buildings for which inhabitants of the Zimbabwean plateau are reknowned. "From the standpoint of Shona studies," Beach points out, "[the paintings and buildings] have been both a blessing and a cu rse. On the one hand, the sheer beauty of the former attracted many of the minority of educated whites into the discipline of archaeology, but it also ensured that they devoted their attention to a period and people fairly remote from the [modern-day] Sho na and their recent neighbours." Clearly, as Beach suggests, the particularlities and generalities must be kept in proper balance at all times.

Keyboard for Africa's Largest Spoken Mother Tongue Though, global communications explosion plays a major role in the gradual yet steady extinction of languages, projects like the Yoruba Keyboard Project undertaken by African Languages Technology Initiative (Alt-I), winner of this year's IICD Award on Local Content Applications are taking advantage of information technology to rescue Africa's drowning languages writes Tunde Okoli The seeming preponderance of tiny language communities in contemporary times points to the fact that majority of the world's languages are vulnerable and may not just decline, but vanish into extinction. A recent study established that most human languages today, are spoken by exceedingly few people. In fact, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) raised alarm that majority, of languages will soon vanish. The organisation backed its claim up with scary statistics. It said, over 50 percent of the world's 6000 languages are endangered; 96 percent of the world's 6000 languages are spoken by four percent of the world's population; 90 percent of the world's languages are not represented on the Internet and that one language is disappearing on average every two weeks. Studies have identified some of the forces which make for language loss to include: the impacts of rapid growth in urbanization, Westernization and global communications, all serving to diminish the self-sufficiency and self-confidence of small and traditional communities. This is aside the fact that discriminatory policies, and population movements are also taking their toll of languages. Post-modern linguists are of the opinion that languages are being lost, because we now live in a world that is fast contracting to a tiny global village. A world where a defined identity is what makes a man, nation, or race. A world where everyman, community, nation or race need a strong presence in the world's information superhighway to remain in sight.

Sports Culture Tourism Nigeria: Culture Introduction In 2001 Nigeria's estimated population was 126,635,626, yielding an average density of 137 persons per sq km (355 per sq mi). At the last census, in 1991, the population was pegged at 88.5 million. With a birth rate of 39.7 per 1,000 and a death rate of 13.9 per 1,000, Nigeria's population is growing at an average of 3 percent annually. The average Nigerian woman gives birth six times in her lifetime, although among more educated women the rate is somewhat lower. Nearly half of Nigerians are younger than 15 years. By 2025 the population is projected to grow to 204 million, nearly double the current size. The highest population densities are in the Igbo heartland in southeastern Nigeria, despite poor soils and heavy emigration. The intensively farmed zones around and including several major Hausa cities especially Kano, Sokoto, and Zaria in the north are also packed with people. Other areas of high density include Yorubaland in the southwest, the central Jos Plateau, and the Tiv homeland in Benue State in the south central region. Densities are relatively low in the dry northeast and in most parts of the middle belt. Ecological factors, including the prevalence of diseases such as sleeping sickness, carried by the tse-tse fly, and historical factors, especially the legacy of pre-colonial slave raiding, help explain these low densities.
