Lugha Ya Taifa Kiswahili, Pan-Africanism, And Nationalism In Tanzania And The United States, Lessie Burnita Tate
Lugha Ya Taifa Kiswahili, Pan-Africanism, And Nationalism In Tanzania And The United States, Lessie Burnita Tate
Theses (Pre-2016)
The historical common elements in Tanzania and African American culture serve as links that uncover the connection between these two groups of people through time and space in this thesis. Elements of Tanzanian nationalism in African American black cultural nationalism are links that attest to the significance of this African! African American twentieth century relationship. A most obvious link between Tanzania and African Americans is language. The appearance of Kiswahili as a non-ethnic African language allowed this language to be instrumental in facilitating nationalism in Tanzania, and later surfacing in the African American community as its' unofficial adopted African language. …

Experience West African Drumming: A Study Of West African Dance-Drumming And Women Drummers, Leslie Marie Mullins
African Diaspora ISPs
Drums have been a vital part of African traditions and celebrations for thousands of years. They play an immense role in Africa's rich oral history. Through the drum, the joys sorrows and every day passages of an entire people are documented, celebrated and mourned. The Djembe is a Guinean drum that is played throughout Africa. The Djembe along with other instruments are used to play Drum-dance songs during festivals and seasonal celebrations. Unfortunately, women are seldom included in these events. As a woman of African descent, I chose to learn how to play the Djembe and researched its history and …

In conclusion, this study has shown that imperialism is playing a noticeable role in the perception of the meaning of development including the indications of and the path to such a state for Ghanaian society.

This particular study was not only comprised to demonstrate the various treatments and cures available, but dares to look at the options of people that may or may not have the resources to obtain the aforementioned preventive measures.

There Is No Word For Cousin: Understanding Ghanaian Homelessness From An American Context, Kenneth Hutchinson
African Diaspora ISPs
This paper serves as an investigation into the Ghanaian society and culture in efforts to understand and explain notions of homelessness. Using my previous research on family homelessness in San Francisco, California as a general frame work and example of American homelessness, this paper juxtaposes the American concept of homelessness with the Ghanaian concept. Information gathered from institutions, people and professionals is used to extract and explain some important themes that help us to better understanding the problem of homelessness in Ghana: Its meanings forms and treatment.

Toward Reparations Policy In Ghana A Study Of The Reparations Movement In Ghana, West Africa., Elizabeth Whittaker
Toward Reparations Policy In Ghana A Study Of The Reparations Movement In Ghana, West Africa., Elizabeth Whittaker
African Diaspora ISPs
Ghana has a history of being an impetus for Pan-African change. However, the reparations movement that recently gained international attention at the United Nations World Conference Against Racism does not yet have an organized mass-base of consensus of awareness in Ghana. While many people agree that the slave trade and colonialism have contributed to Ghana's problems of poverty, unemployment, and limited educational resources, few have associated these needs with the term "reparations".

An Assessment Of The Plausibility Of Pan-Africanism From Various Perspectives, Crystal Holmes
African Diaspora ISPs
The following is my attempt to assess the plausibility and desirability of different levels of Pan-Africanism from the perspectives of Africans and Diasporans. I use historical, cultural and social considerations from both perspectives in my assessment. The observations by the author took place in Ghana between August and November of 2002. Observations from American culture are from the author's experience as an African-American.

SIT Occasional Papers
The inaugural issue of the SIT Occasional Papers Series, titled “About Our Institution” (Spring 2000), was dedicated to telling the story of World Learning by providing a comprehensive view of this fascinating organization. For many, World Learning is a difficult organization to grasp, given its various divisions and its continually changing nature. In fact, a defining characteristic of the institution has always been its ability to adapt readily in response to changing conditions and needs throughout the world. World Learning is truly a one-of-a-kind institution. This becomes clear as one learns more about its activities and the principles on which …

Migration And Cultural Identity: Performing The Afro-Caribbean Woman's Struggle, Elvinet Samantha Wilson
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Current research suggests a relationship between cultural identity negotiation and the phenomenon of border crossing. While a wealth of literature exists on the topic of migration, few studies reflect a scope that includes in-depth analysis of the experiences of Afro-Caribbean women in the United States.Through ethnographic and autoethnographic methodologies, and using a feminist theoretical lens, this study explores issues relating to cultural identity negotiation in the lives of 10 Black women from Jamaica, The Bahamas, and Trinidad, who now reside in the Midwest region of the United States. Analysis based on a grounded theory approach, allowed themes to emerge from …

Review Of The Book A Patchwork Shawl: Chronicles Of South Asian Women In America, Anjali Ram
Review Of The Book A Patchwork Shawl: Chronicles Of South Asian Women In America, Anjali Ram
Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications
Ever since western feminist scholarship was accused of defining gender in transhistorical and transcultural ways, there have been attempts to add the category, `woman of colour’, in feminist enterprises that rang e from the academic to the administrative. Such toke n gestures inevitably re-inscribe the problem by glossing over distinctive material histories and the particularity of women’s experiences and struggles. For those of us who refuse such additive, tokenist approaches, A Patchwork Shawl edited by Shamita Das Dasgupta is a welcome contribution. Written by South Asian immigrant and first generation women, A Patchwork Shawlis, to us e Dasgupta’s words, `a …
