Extractions: The political economy of water - ownership and control This session will deal with the changing histories of water as a private or common good. In what way has water been seen as a commodity standing outside "normal" economic theories? Papers will also be presented examining how regional and national control of water resources have been embedded into patterns of economic and political control within and across national boundaries, and has stirred up territorial disputes. The session will also deal with institutional frameworks for solving the disputes over fresh water in different regional settings. The abstracts are sorted alphabetically (number given in brackets refers to abstract identification number) 1. Fenda A. Akiwumi, USA (133)

Ubuyile - Jazz coming home radio documentaries Past, present and future are inextricably linked. And the music of Africa reflects this in its experiences and realities. There are some exciting archives that capture this, private collections that represent it and slowly fading oral histories that tell of all the pains, tragedies and triumphs. In the new urban culture during the fifties in the copper mining towns of Katanga province in southern Congo and on the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, the guitar became an important status symbol. The Katanga guitar style came from the rich likembe tradition of the Luba peoples, whereas on the Zambian Copperbelt the guitar songs are very diverse - being either traditionally based or heavily influenced by the mainly American music, popular in the fifties, played by the radio station specifically set up for African broadcasts. An exciting document, with some famous names such as Mwenda Jean Bosco and George Sibanda, of the emergence of a new sound.

Extractions: Late on 1 April, Antonio Dembo, the deputy president of the (UNITA), arrived in Luanda with three other senior officials of the party to reopen the UNITA office closed and largely destroyed during the fighting of 1992. UNITA spokesperson, Isaias Samakuva, said that Dembo had come to launch UNITA officially as a political party in the capital. The delegation would also " make every effort to create the conditions for Dr Savimbi to come to Luanda as soon as possible ." The delegation was met at the airport by Alioune Blondin Beye, the United Nations special envoy to Angola, and the ambassadors of the three powers that have helped to implement the Lusaka Protocol of 1994: the United States, Portugal and Russia. UNITA also announced that its radio station, 'Voice of the Black Cockerel' (Vorgan), would stop broadcasting that evening, in accordance with the latest agreements on the implementation of the peace timetable. This timetable also made provision for UNITA's leadership, including Savimbi, to move to Luanda from the headquarters at Bailundo and Andulo and for the government to extend its control over those centres. A presidential spokesperson, however, seemed to concede that there would be some delay in achieving this, pending UNITA's preparations on the ground. He indicated that the government did not want a situation to arise in which the use of force became necessary.

Extractions: It is a historic fact that the CCAP's identification as a Chewa church, has had some serious repercussions. Few indigenous people were found in the church. Our identity was based on national grounds. Our young people were told to keep this identity or suffer castigation by the church. I am happy to report that this may have changed because our serving ministers were all born in Zimbabwe and identify themselves as local people. But despite what appears to be a solution, many locals (especially the Shona and Ndebele) still resist coming to the CCAP Church. I believe this is caused by: 1) our continued use of the Chewa language in the church, and 2) a history of associating CCAP as a Chewa church. Ethnically, the Malawians are isolated and treated as though they cannot contribute to any national affair. This is sad as the Malawians constitute the second largest group in the country. We have tried to solve this isolation by bringing other languages to the church, indeed a positive move. Racial divisions have not been a problem of the CCAP church though in other churches it is indeed serious. I believe that racial divisions outside the church cannot be solved if the church has such divisions inside.

Location: Principally spoken in Zambia, in the Northern, Copperbelt, and Luapula Provinces; also spoken in southern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and southern Tanzania. Family: Bemba is a Central Bantu language. The Bantu language family is a branch of the Benue-Congo family, which is a branch of the Niger-Congo family, which is a branch of Niger-Kordofanian. Related Languages: Most closely related to the Bantu languages Kaonde (in Zambia and DRC), Luba (in DRC), Nsenga and Tonga (in Zambia), and Nyanja/Chewa (in Zambia and Malawi). Dialects: Principal dialects are: Aushi, Bemba, Bisa, Chishinga, Kunda, Lala, Lamba, Luunda, Ng'umbo, Swaka, Tabwa, and Unga. Each of these dialects is distinguished by its association with a distinct ethnic group, culture, and territory of the same name. Each dialect exhibits minor differences of pronunciation and phonology, and very minor differences in morphology and vocabulary. Because Bemba is such a widely used

Extractions: Angola Angola The Chokwe, until the latter half of the nineteenth century a small group of hunters and traders living near the headwaters of the Cuango and Cassai rivers, were at the southern periphery of the Lunda Empire and paid tribute to its head. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the Chokwe became increasingly involved in trading and raiding, and they expanded in all directions, but chiefly to the north, in part absorbing the Ruund and other peoples. In the late nineteenth century, the Chokwe went so far as to invade the capital of the much-weakened empire in Katanga. As a consequence of this Chokwe activity, a mixed population emerged in parts of Zaire as well as in Angola, although there were virtually homogenous communities in both countries consisting of Chokwe, Ruund, or Southern Lunda. The intermingling of Lunda (Ruund and Southern Lunda) and Chokwe, in which other smaller groups were presumably also caught up, continued until about 1920. It was only after that time that the mixture acquired the hyphenated label and its members began to think of themselves (in some contexts) as one people. The languages spoken by the various elements of the so-called Lunda-Chokwe were more closely related to each other than to other Bantu languages in the Zairian-Angolan savanna but were by no means mutually intelligible. The three major tongues (Ruund, Lunda, and Chokwe) had long been distinct from each other, although some borrowing of words, particularly of Ruund political titles by the others, had occurred.

Extractions: by Jim Kirkwood and John Van Mossel Introduction: Canada and Angola are both former colonies, Angola of the Portuguese; Canada of the French and British. By contrast, there are not many Angolans in Canada; immigration is difficult especially for refugees. A number of journalists have fled here as refugees. Many have done well here as students and workers. Hon. George Chikoti is an example. The Angolan expatriate community, being small, and often politically divided, makes popular support among Canadians harder to mobilize. 1. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONSHIPS: Canada, like Portugal, is a member of NATO. During the independence struggles in Africa after the Second World War, Canada supported Portugal and the other colonial powers until "5 minutes to midnight" of the hand-over to African government. Indeed with Portugal, even after midnight!

Canada recognised the new state of Angola in 1977.

The Kongo, Lunda, Luba, and Kuba state systems shared certain common features, I.The Kongo kingdom The Kongo Kingdom was the first state on the west coast of Central Africa to come into contact with Europeans. Portuguese sailors under Diogo Cao landed at the mouth of the Congo River in 1482 . Cao traveled from Portugal to Kongo and back several times during the 1480s, bringing missionaries to the Kongo court and taking Kongo nobles to Portugal in 1485. In the 1490s, the king of Kongo asked Portugal for missionaries and technical assistance in exchange for ivory and other desirable items, such as slaves and copperwares a relationship, ultimately detrimental to the Kongo, which continued for centuries. Competition over the slave trade had repercussions far beyond the boundaries of Kongo society. Slave-trading activities created powerful vested interests among both Africans and foreigners; the Portuguese and later the Dutch, French, British, and Arabs.

The original edition was in three volumes in Portuguese (Universidade Pedagógica, Maputo, 1993/4): Volume 1 : Analysis and reconstruction; Volume 3 : Comparative analysis. The first volume has already been published in English (Universidade Pedagógica, Maputo, 1994). The three volumes have been published in French in 1995 under the title "Une Tradition Géométrique en Afrique - Les Dessins sur le Sable" (Éditions L'Harmattan, Paris / Montreal, 594 pp.). The German language edition "Ethnomathematik dargestellt am Beispiel der Sona Geometrie" (Spektrum Verlag, Berlin / Heidelberg / Oxford, 1997, 436 pp., ISBN: 3-8274-0201-8) contains the three volumes in one book and was enlarged by an introduction on ethnomathematics as a field of research. It has a preface by Harald Scheid and Erhard Scholz (Bergische Universität, Wuppertal). An earlier book, in German, by the author on ethnomathematics was published in 1990 under the title "Ethnogeometrie. Kulturanthropologische Beiträge zur Genese und Didaktik der Geometrie" (Verlag Franzbecker, Bad Salzdetfurth /Hildesheim, 360 pp., ISBN 3-88120-189-0). It contains a preface by Peter Damerow (Max Planck Institut für Bildesforschung, Berlin), and is reviewed by Bernhard Andelfinger in 'Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik' (ZDM, Karlsruhe, 94/1, 22-24).
