The Significance of Indigenous African Religions Posted by Adib Rashad The Significance of Indigenous African Religions by Adib Rashad (RashadM@AOL.COM) Decades ago, Professor William Leo Hansberry raised some profound questions regarding Africa's theoretical and philosophical contributions to religion, God the afterlife and civilization. Not only were these questions raised and probed, but they were also answered in explicable detail. Professor Hansberry was one of Black America's finest and most erudite scholars. He, through meticulous research, debunked the European mythusing European scholarsthat Africa was devoid of spiritual, moral and cosmological substance. These European scholars must be given respect for their intellectual integrity and their principled persuasion. Moreover, I believe that Professor Hansberry laid the foundation regarding this sensitive subject. His interest and scholarship contributed to the ascent of African theologians, historians, and philosophers such as John S. Mbiti, Tsenay Serequeberhan, D. A. Masolo, V. Y. Mudimbe, and others. Professor Hansberry cited some primary documents, letters, articles and essays from these Europeans that dated back to the sixteenth century. He exhausted every source at his disposal and to the fullest.

They went in search of: fame and celebrity, and people to convert to Christianity POWER AND KNOWLEDGE European travelers hugely increased a general understanding of geography, climate and resources. Some accounts of the people were objective (as far as an outsider can be objective), others were willfully misleading. All the information these travelers brought back - wrong and right - contributed to devising an imperial strategy for controlling Africa. SOURCES OF RIVERS For Europeans the golden age of travelling was the early 19th century. The first half of the century was dominated by a desire to establish the sources of two of African's great trading arteries, the Niger and the Nile respectively. The sort of men who undertook journeys across regions which were unknown to Europe were in the main strong willed, eccentric, sometimes cruel and prejudiced.

Mungo Park, an inquisitive Scottish doctor and explorer, displayed a lot of courage in his adventures. He was steadfast and result-oriented. However, it is wrong for anybody to assume that he discovered the 'Nile of the Negroes', (as the River Niger was then called). The indigenous Africans who lived by the river banks knew its course long before Mungo Park's forefathers were born. They showed the Scot the way! Thus, claiming that Dr. Park discovered River Niger is absurd. It is as ridiculous as claiming that the first African who sailed across River Thames discovered the English river.

World Heritage Site The word "Timbuktu" (or Timbuctoo or Tombouctou) is used in several languages to represent a far-away place but Timbuktu is an actual city in the African country of Mali Located near the edge the Niger River during the rainy season (but about 8 miles from the river during much of the year), Timbuktu was founded by nomads in the twelfth century and it rapidly became a major trading depot for the caravans of the Sahara Desert. During the fourteenth century, the legend of Timbuktu as a rich cultural center spread through the world. The beginning of the legend can be traced to 1324, when the Emperor of Mali made his pilgrimage to Mecca via Cairo. In Cairo, the merchants and traders were impressed by the amount of gold carried by the emperor, who claimed that the gold was from Timbuktu. Furthermore, in 1354 the great Muslim explorer

ROAD TO TIMBUKTU EPISODE It is perhaps surprising that a place as comparatively close to Europe as West Africa should remain more or less unknown long after the colonization of the Americas. Indeed, it was not until 1828 that the first European saw Timbuktu and lived to tell the tale. This long isolation was due to many factors: the trackless wastes of the Sahara, the long distances from the coast to the Niger River fraught with danger and disease, and the desert and coastal peoples who preferred to maintain their exclusive position as trade middlemen between the Niger and the outer world. But this is no excuse for continuing near-ignorance in America and Europe of the fabulous history of the Middle Niger Valley in the modern Republic of Mali. As early as 872 A.D. the Arab geographer al-Ya'kubi would write of the ancient state of Ghana (situated in part in the Middle Niger Valley) stating that it possessed a powerful king, with many lesser kings and kingdoms owing their allegiance to him, and that this king of kings controlled his country's mines of gold. Arab and Berber traders were already taking advantage of a profitable trade with the Empire of Ghana by the 9th century A.D., and were to continue to do so for centuries to come (see the Tuareg ). However, to the western world, this land remained a mystery.

She was slightly crazy, people thought; highly determined, she knew; and completely alone: in a little red boat, en route to Timbuktu. And now, at the very hour I have decided to leave, a thunderstorm bursts open the skies, sending down apocalyptic rain, washing away the ground beneath my feet. It is the rainy season in Mali, for which there can be no comparison in the world. Lightning pierces trees, slices across houses. Thunder wracks the skies and pounds the Earth like mortar fire, and every living thing huddles in its tenuous shelter, expecting the world to end. Which it doesn't. At least not this time.

Forgot your password? The World Awaits page 2 Africa by Richard Bangs Mgoun Valley, Morocco Steadily we wind our way up a pass nicknamed "The Ambusher." Once a great caravan route for transporting dates, henna, gold, and salt between the Sahara and northern ports, this path is now used by only a handful of local traders. We hike past biblical-looking villages where men with wrapped heads and flowing robes mill about in an ancient way. Up we toil through groves of juniper and into the snow, following in the footsteps of our nameless mule. The winter light is slanted and diffuse. After six hours of continuous walking, we crest another pass, the Tizi-n-Ait Pass, also known as "The Pass of the Sheep with Black Eyes," and come face to face with the stunning white comb of the 12,000-foot Mgoun Mountains, part of the Atlas chain. I snug my wool hat against the howling wind as our local guide Rachid wraps his head in a Berber scarf. A few hours later we stumble into the Hopi-like village of Talat Righane, where low ochre-colored houses seem to have sprung from the ground itself. All the men wear dun-colored burnooses. The women are intricately tattooed with indigo designs on their foreheads, and they have henna-stained palms and fingers. Pendulum earrings of silver, turquoise, and amber swing as they walk.
