Extractions: St. Olaf College I have been compiling this bibliography in the course of research on the folklore of the Sukuma and Nyamwezi of Tanzania, which I began in 1993. This was part of my research on Tanzania's Epic Folklore, which was funded by Earthwatch, an affiliate of the Center for Field Research, based in Massachussetts. The Sukuma and Nyamwezi, who are often assumed to be essentially the same people, are among the most well-studied of Tanzania's ethnic groups. For over a hundred years, there has been a continuous stream of books, articles, manuscripts, theses and dissertations on this group in various languages, but notably in Swahili, English, German, French and Sukuma. These writings cover the history, culture, economic and social life of these people. My focus in this bibliography is on folklore and culture in general. I have therefore included works on subjects such as language. Some of the works I have included in this bilbiography may not strike other people as belonging in it. The Sukuma and Nyamwezi may safely be considered close enough to be discussed together, but I have included entries on neighbouring groups such as the Kara and the Kerewe, who live on islands in Lake Victoria. I think they have enough in common with the Sukuma to warrant their inclusion in this bibliography. Such choices are difficult for anybody trying to create a bibliography of this nature. There are materials I have not included in this bibliography, for example sections in various books, most of which I probaby do not even know about. There are also typescripts and manuscripts which I have not even heard about. It is more than likely that such materials exist, in such places as the White Fathers' Archives in Rome, Oxford House in England, and perhaps in Canada as well, since the priests who set up the Sukuma Museum at Bujora, near Mwanza, came from Canada. Though this is a rather comprehensive bibliography for the period it covers, I know that some more work needs to be done to make it even better.

Extractions: Social scientists depictions of rural communities suggest that personalized relationships sealed by various forms of reciprocal exchange contribute to peoples wellbeing by allowing them to solve important problems effectively. Economists do not escape this rule. They consider that such personalized networks of relationships have the potential advantages of supplying informal insurance to their members and overcoming the trust problem inherent in all difficult and costly to enforce exchanges. Recent but growing concern about the negative consequences of ethnic feelings have mitigated this positive view, however. This paper explores the role of the community in generating or relaying ethnic feelings. The recent ethnic genocide and cleansing in Rwanda and Yugoslavia seem to indicate that political manipulation orchestrated at the highest levels is the main force sparking ethnic hatred and killings. Yet unless we are prepared to see ordinary people as automata mechanically responsive to the messages sent by their elites, we have to ask why these people chose to obey messages of racial hatred and to perpetrate violence. In Rwanda the question is why the same people who spent an inordinate amount of time and energy disobeying directives from above in ordinary day-to-day matters chose to follow the instructions or incitements to ethnic violence broadcast by their elites (Uvin, 1998, pp. 2067). This paper highlights the grassroots logic that can reinforce and propagate ethnic hatred triggered by the upper echelons of the political sphere using two concepts borrowed from social choice theoryweak and strict monotonicity.

Extractions: The perspective here is that the place of Rastafari in a universal culture, a new society, depends not only on it becoming more informed by class analysis, as Campbell contends, but also on the nurturing of the feminist ferment which here is called 'the new Rastafari.' Original Rastafari is uncompromising in its commitment to 'chant down Babylon,' the capitalist system. However, it is bound by the 'capitalist male deal.' Sexism is the key defining feature distinguishing the old rasta from the new. And it is also a fetter limiting the old rasta to a black nationalist accommodation with capitalism. In contrast, the defining feature of new Rastafari is the affirmation that class consciousness cannot exist without gender consciousness. This study considers gender and class relations in Caribbean and East African popular struggles during three crises of capitalism in the 20th century. It argues that with the growing internationalization of the world market, capital has sought to develop through establishing class alignments characterized by specific gender relations. Using the concept of the 'male deal' to examine gender dynamics during each crisis, the study concludes that the 'new Rastafari' is part of an international social movement of resistance to structural adjustment and affirmation of a new society which transcends the limitations of the male deal.

Extractions: Father John Henschel C.S.Sp. of Bagamoyo Parish, Tanzania is the author of this booklet. Undoubtedly his inspiration derives from the fact that he [from Germany] has lived for years at a famous historical place, Bagamoyo, where the first Catholic missionaries set foot in Tanzania mainland to proclaim the Gospel. On the other side Bagamoyo is a famous slave trading centre and also the place where the remains of Dr David Livingstone were kept for some time before being sent abroad fore burial. "Since time immemorial men found answers in a unique style, in the style of narrated stories, narrated in myths A myth is a story told in a special way which originates in prehistorical time The myths elucidate that even the first men, millenniums and millenniums ago, were able to see not only the nature around them. They had the ability to understand what is behind the foreground, to understand profound realities. As the last profound reality they recognized God" (p. 9). In everyday life, each one of us has three main important questions: WHATWHENWHY. Myths are basically memories of the past. Africa tells thousands of such old myths. This book, "What African Myths Tell" with its subtitle "How was it at the beginning?" discusses seven myths selected from six different African ethnic groups (nations) who live thousands of kilometres away from one another, but tell the same myths.

Extractions: BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCES FOR THE MENTAWAI ISLANDS List of Documentary Sources This is a basic list of articles and books, both published works and unpublished manuscripts having the Mentawai islands as their focus, or engaging with them in some capacity. It should be noted that many of these sources can be classified as "popular" literature insofar as they are not written from any identifiable disciplinary outlook in the humanities or social sciences. Much of their content, therefore, is based upon impressions gained by their respective authors in the course of visits of short duration often resulting in superficial "snapshots" of aspects of the societies and cultures at various locations across the islands. This needs to be kept in mind when consulting any of these sources. An exception to this is perhaps the accounts of the early missionaries and colonial officials whose accounts stem from interactions with various local populations that are both qualitative and often extend over long periods of time; these accounts, therefore, contain much useful and interesting information. There also exists a good range of sources dealing with primates. However, these are not included here at this stage (December 2002). The items appearing in this list cover most of the published sources up until the early 1990s, nevertheless it is certain that some unpublished documents have been overlooked. I should also note that many such items have come into existence during the 1990s and are not listed here. Hence this list should be regarded as provisional and merely a place to start a detailed literary exploration of the islands.

Extractions: UGANDA yoo-gahn'-dah or oo-gahn'-dah Uganda, a small landlocked state located on the equator in East Africa, is bordered by Sudan to the north, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) to the west, Rwanda and Tanzania to the south, and Kenya to the east. Uganda's borders and the basis of its economic system were created (1893-1926) as British rule supplanted older and much smaller political units, which remained a focus for cultural, economic, and political competition. LAND AND RESOURCES Uganda occupies part of a high plateau that averages 915 m (3,000 ft) in the less hilly and lower north and rises to 1,340 m (4,400 ft) near Kampala. On the southwestern border near the equator are the volcanic Virunga Mountains and the permanently snowcapped peaks of the Ruwenzori Range, including Mount Stanley (5,110 m/16,763 ft), Uganda's highest point. These mountains form part of the western branch of the East African Rift System. On the eastern border are several extinct volcanoes, including Mount Elgon. Lakes cover almost one-fifth of Uganda's area. Rivers in the south drain into Lake Victoria, the third largest lake in the world, from which the Victoria Nile flows into Lake Albert. Most of Uganda has relatively reliable rainfall in two distinct wet seasons (March-May and October-November). The semiarid northeast receives 625 to 1,000 mm (25 to 39 in) of rainfall between April and August, while annual rainfall near Lake Victoria averages 1,500 mm (59 in). Temperatures, which are moderated by altitude, reach 35¡ C (95¡ F) on the Rift floor near Lake George and along the Sudanese border. In the southwestern highlands they drop to 5¡ C (40¡ F).

Extractions: Good News for Every Nation - Via Inculturation The nations ( gentes ) to whom the Christian community is divinely sent, and supposed to become incarnate through faithfulness to the missionary principle of inculturation, are not the worlds politically constructed nation-states as such. They are, rather, the multitude of indigenous ethno-cultural nations, sometimes sill called "tribes," enclosed within the boundaries of politically constructed nation-states. This view of missionary activity has far reaching social, cultural, ethical, theological and ecclesial implications. Introduction This paper offers some reflections on the political and religious dimensions of humankinds historical existence as a multitude of distinctive ethno-cultural groups of people. The particular focus is upon those living in Africa south of the Sahara. Their total population is about five hundred million, currently threatened massively by an HIV/AIDS pandemic; also by countless struggles for power, wealth and mere survival, not to mention neo-colonial controls and constraints. Under colonialism these peoples were categorized politically as "tribes." In the terms of 19 th century Social Darwinism they were taught in schools and churches, at least implicitly, to see themselves as backward peoples, or even as aggregates of competing individuals, marching slowly along a road called "progress." Their modernizing "development"-consisting largely in the pursuit of wealth and power by
