It may serve as a springboard for a paper in this area you can tie to a text we read in class: Date: 4-JAN-2002 13:18:37 From: Mailer-Daemon@epub.med.iacnet.com Author: Janice Coffey Swab Abstract: Zambians are not self-sufficient in agriculture and even those who grow enough food may not have an adequate diet. Most people exist on maize. It is impossible to forecast weather patterns and the soil is mainly infertile. Food production fell 0.7% from 1979/80-1991. Traditionally a variety of crop plants were cultivated according to a farming system different from western agriculture. Drought problems have arisen since western practices were adopted. Fresh-water sardines and insects augment the diet.

Extractions: Morocco is the tantalising lower lip on the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, a Muslim land so rich in mystique it seems to hover like a magic carpet somewhere between myth and reality. Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh...just the names of these cities and towns should stir a hint of spice in the nostrils of the most geographically challenged. Many Moroccan destinations have been mythologised, and for good reason, but the more jaded traveller may well moan about the extinction of the 'real' Morocco. Still others will extol the country's unique living history, its shimmering light, its art. The truth lies somewhere in between. Morocco is the ideal starting point for the traveller to Africa. An easy hop from Europe, it can be a friendly, hectic and stimulating place to get around in. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, and jewellery. The country's prime produce (if you don't count the hashish) is leather - said to be the softest in the world.

Extractions: AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA [a work in progress] Presented to the Canadian Theological Society May 25, 2001 by Ian D. Ritchie, Ph.D. St. John's Anglican Church, 41 Church St., Kingston, ON., K7M 1H2 The paper assesses the role played by African theologians in advancing the status of women in Africa. The perception (common in western church circles) of the African church as a bastion of conservatism and patriarchy will be examined critically. Starting with a brief overview of gender in precolonial Africa, moving to an analysis of the influence of mission Christianity and the African Initiated Churches, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the influence of African theologians. The conclusion that Christianity may be moving African women towards equality more rapidly than in western societies speaks of a positive relationship between academic theology, church and society.[ An earlier version of this article formed a chapter of the author's 1993 doctoral dissertation, African Theology and Social Change.

Extractions: Anthropologically, the fecundity of ambivalence has been most explicitly considered by Leach, and nowhere perhaps more clearly than in his study of the Kachin of Burma (Leach 1964b). Here, the institution of asymmetrical matrilateral cross-cousin marriage is revealed as generating ambiguities that make possible an oscillation between two structurally divergent political systems: the egalitarian gumlao and the stratified gumsa gumlao gumsa On the level of cognition, riddles may be seen as one way of reconciling two divergent sets of concepts or rules of interpretation. One of the most venerable riddles in Western Judaeo-Christian culture is that of Samson and the Philistines which is worth some enlargement since it will throw light upon several characteristic features of the genre genre known but forgotten

The population of 28.5 million 995 estimate) is of Arab, Berber or mixed Arab-Berber ancestry. After 1962, the majority of the one million Europeans resident in Algeria left the country, and now s than one percent of the population is of European origin. French still enjoys a high status in Algeria. It is a major foreign language and is still widely read and spoken by many educated Algerians. National radio has a French station. The only TV channel is in Arabic with some French material. The majority of newspapers and magazines are in French, and French is widely used in higher education. Scientific material in school and university text books is almost exclusively in French, while Arabic is the medium of primary education. A law to Arabize local administration, business, politics and the media from July, 1992 was postponed indefinitely, because it was felt that the necessary conditions for adequate implementation of the law did not yet exist. English is also a recognized foreign language in Algeria and is gaining in prestige. Angola The People's Republic of Angola was formerly part of Portuguese West Africa. The country gained independence from Portugal in 1975 after 14 years of guerrilla warfare and a brutal civil war. The population in 1995 was estimated at 10 million. Because of the devastation and social unrest caused by sporadic warfare since independence, it is not easy to assess the language situation in Angola. It is estimated that there are more than 90 ethnic groups in Angola, and numerous local languages are spoken. Over 90 percent of the population speak Bantu languages. There are three major ethnolinguistic groups, the Ovimbundu (37 percent) in the central and southern regions, the Kimbundu (25 percent) in Luanda and the east, and the Kikongo (13 percent) in the north.
Extractions: The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of FAO. from Part 1 When faced with unusually low income or unusually high expenditure for either planned or unforeseen purposes, an individual or group of individuals, can either draw upon his or her savings and/or make use of credit (Oxfam 1990: 6). This paper does not systematically review borrowing options, yet under particular conditions rural people might very well prefer to borrow (or exchange goods, money and/or services) instead of using own savings. Also, borrowing options might very well affect when and why people (do not) make use of own savings. Another, more fundamental option when faced with increasing costs of living is to withdraw from monetary transactions and put a greater emphasis on subsistence production and/or barter. According to Roeber (pers.comm. 1996), "Traders who provide basic commodities to the rural areas such as second hand clothing, sugar, salt, cooking oil, soap, etc. often barter with local farmers who have little need for cash since they have no access to formal financial systems." Roeber in this connection referred to the "problem of demonitization in the rural areas" of Zambia. A livestock officer of Kalabo District even told us that, "Money is not a source of exchange here in this area. It is a barter system" (Mkumba, pers.comm. 1997).
