Extractions: AAA Executive Board. AAA Statement on Race. American Anthropologist September, 1998. Vol. 100(3):712-713. This statement was adopted by the AAA Executive Board on 17 May 1998. The authors note that it does not reflect a consensus of all members of the AAA, but the general contemporary thinking of most anthropologists. The statement explains that race is not a direct function of biology, but is rather a creation of society. In the US, from its colonial beginnings to modern institutions and policies, race has been used to reinforce hierarchical distinctions between groups. Human populations are not biologically distinct groups, and, according to genetic evidence, there is greater variation within racial groups than between them. Humankind is a single species, and the interbreeding of different groups has helped maintain that. Physical traits vary in gradual amounts, not bounded by geography. Additionally, the appearance of one physical trait does not predict the presence of others. Thus any divisions made among biological populations are subjective. A normal human being is able to learn any cultural behavior; this learning begins at birth and is always subject to change. Sets of meanings and values, or culture, shape our personalities and behavior without regard to genetics. Treatment within a society also shapes how people act in that society, and the hierarchical racial world view has formed policies and practices that create and support inequalities among peoples of difference descent. The committee concludes that inequalities between racial groups are not based in biology but in social and ideological conditions.

Extractions: THE CONTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS TOWARDS PROCESSES OF GLOBALIZATION IN GERMANY - THE EXAMPLE OF THE EGYPTIAN COPTS In: Koller, Michaela (ed.) Migration aus Nordafrika - Ursachen und Probleme. Deutsche Hochschuledition.94. ars una, Neuried 2000. ISBN 3-89391-094-8 Currently heated political and often emotionally loaded discussions are being held at different levels in Germany and in other European countries concerning questions of the integration or the lack of integration of foreigners and of the possible consequences. Although first scientific approaches towards an understanding of their attitudes and their motives have been made, still very little is known about most foreign migrants and their coping strategies in European societies. Globalization forces us, however, to consider all aspects of the process of integration of such immigrants into the societies of the countries they have chosen as their homes. 60 years after Germany stood up to fight the rest of the world, the German society has become militia-ethnic, which means at the same time multi-cultural, though many still do not seem to have grasped a full awareness of this. Even within Germany these days we find ourselves confronted with foreign ethic values, and much of the German legal system e.g. has grown on principles that are not relevant to some of the foreign ethnic groups that are now living within the state, underlying these laws. After these processes have been studied, in a next step then the question can be dealt with, what the immigrants can contribute to Germany or to Europe. How can they participate with their German co-citizens in finding the way into a globalized world in the Twenty-first Century? How can they share the efforts for Germany to become a Global Village?

ALEJANDRA KRAUSS CHILEAN MINISTER OF PLANNING AND COOPERATION AT THE WORLD CONFERENCE AGAINST RACISM, RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, XENOPHOBIA AND RELATED INTOLERANCES. DURBAN. 31 AUGUST - 7 SEPTEMBER I would like to thank the South African authorities and the people of South Africa for hosting this Conference. It is hard to think of anywhere else in the world where the struggle against racism and discrimination has been more significant. It is also hard to think of any other place where a people has made a greater effort to overcome its own history and advance the development of fundamental values such as tolerance, respect for diversity and respect to the rights of all human beings. The road that has brought us to South Africa has been a long one. Since the General Assembly convened the Conference, we have been involved in numerous actions and activities. We have reached important agreements, though difficulties still remain. Today the world is coming to Durban with the same conviction with which it formerly condemned the repugnant form of racism suffered by millions of South Africans. It is impossible to accept the continuation of social and political policies and actions that destroy human dignity.

It is impossible to accept the continuation of social and political policies and actions that destroy human dignity. Our present task is to continue the struggle for the right to live in a more tolerant and inclusive world. For the right to have rights. We have no option but to continue since no society can claim to be entirely free of the phenomena which have brought us to this Conference. The existence of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance is a subject of legitimate international concern and it is every State's responsibility to address these public issues by adopting policies designed to prevent and eradicate the active, passive or tacit expression of any form of racism or intolerance.

Extractions: Kyoto Declaration "West Africa is probably the most dynamic offshore play in the world today." - Offshore Magazine There is a huge new boom in oil exploration throughout Central Africa. Following the end of the cold war rivalries in the region and the development of new technologies in the last decade, oil companies are falling over themselves to offer lucrative contracts to governments in Cameroon, Chad, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Angola. The World Bank plans to fund an oil pipeline through Central African rainforests that will bring huge profits to Shell, Exxon, and Elf while causing environmental havoc and threatening local populations - all with U.S. taxpayers backing the deal. The oil companies are about to build a 600-mile pipeline from the Doba oil fields in Chad to coastal Cameroon, slashing through fragile rainforest that is home to the Baka and Bakola peoples, communities of traditional hunter-gatherers. Oil industry experts say the pipeline could deliver between 150,000 and 250,000 barrels per day from the Kom, Miandoum, Bolobo and Sdigui fields. "Once construction begins, we'll see an uncontrollable influx of people in search of work - the result will be deforestation, wildlife poaching, and the loss of community land," says Environmental Defense Fund economist Korinna Horta.

Extractions: In 1993, after fierce bidding, the year 2000 Olympic Games were awarded to AUSTRALIA over China by the International Olympic Committee, allegedly because of a better human rights record. But is this so? You be the judge. Here is a list of crimes by the white racist regime: * Mass murder (genocide) of 500,000 Aboriginal (black) people and the continued theft of their lands. These murders continue with deaths in H.M.S prison service and police custody to the present day. AUSTRALIA is based on the rape and theft of the lands of Aboriginal peoples. Even the courts of the country are recognizing this, but the government is openly defying the court system, as well as international law and public opinion by refusing to abide by the Mabo, Wik, and other rulings granting native land title. * The rise of Pauline Hanson, the openly white racist politician, who is against Asian immigration and the human rights of Aborigines, and who is for a "white AUSTRALIA" restricted immigration policy, which discriminates against non-whites. She calls the Aborigines "savages" and "cannibals" who should be eliminated from "civilized society." The rise of her One Nation Party, a fascist, white supremacist electoral movement, is a serious development which will continue to impact on Australia's position in the world making it a pariah nation, based on her present influence on the government, and likelihood of being elected Prime Minister.

Extractions: Reunification discourse has generated controversy in Cameroon since the 1990s and hinges on the issue of the degree of commitment of Anglophone and Francophone Cameroonians to its realization. This essay provides a chronological, comprehensive, and critical survey of the reunification question. Often only part of the history is presented, either inadvertently or deliberately. It is argued in this essay that reunification was a minority ideology conned largely to the Cameroon people of the Southwestern quadrant. That notwithstanding, its chief proponents were Francophones who conceived it, propagated it, and sustained it until the United Nations recognized it in the 1960s. The 1961 reunification of the British Southern Cameroons and the former French Cameroons was an extraordinary event, as peoples of different colonial backgrounds decided to form a single state. It presented a countercurrent in postcolonial Africa to the prevailing trend of the balkanization of old political unions or blocs.

Extractions: B etween 13 April and 15 September 1996 the exhibition Miscast. Negotiating Khoisan History and Material Culture was mounted at the South African National Gallery in Cape Town. The curator was Pippa Skotness, an accomplished artist in her own right. She applied to the material she had collected a creative artist's touch and imagination: she set up the exhibition as an installation. As a result the curator's role as an interpreter signposting meaning is highlighted. The installation is the creation of the curator; it visualizes her attitude towards the Khoisan and their history. The 'exhibition as installation' concept deliberately draws the attention of the visitors to this process of interpretation. Moreover, through the use of mirrors the visitors too become active participants in the installation. Indeed, when seeing their reflections, they are confronted with themselves as viewers. They are thus made to realise that the act of looking is already tainted by their own convictions, beliefs and prejudices. No encounter can be value-free. The Miscast installation aimed to engage the viewers both intellectually and emotionally. Pippa Skotness adds her voice and, through their active involvement, the voices of the visitors as well, to the history of the encounters between the Khoisan and the Europeans. With the benefit of postcolonial hindsight she lays bare a history of: "[...] brutality, genocide, dispossession, displacement, cultural and language extermination and enslavement [...]" (Exhibition pamphlet 1996: 4). Skotness exposes the gruesome fate of the Khoisan which she attributes to the way they were viewed by the most powerful group, the White conquerors. However, the Khoisan were not only dehumanized by the White colonizers but also by most of the anthropologists who came in their wake and saw them solely as fascinating study objects. This objectifying approach is still very much in evidence in anthropological museum collections which present the Khoisan as bucolic peoples living in total harmony with nature.
