	ZNet \| Africa \| Black Hawk -- and Truth -- Down
		Their mission, the publicity flyer tells us, "to capture several top lieutenants of the Somali warlord Mohammed Farah Aidid, as part of a strategy to quell the civil war and famine that is ravaging that country." The action is non-stop only the outcome is disasterous.
		Black Hawk Down also seems part of a propaganda strategy aimed at Americans, not people overseas, where it is unlikely to win many hearts and minds.
		Black Hawk Down is an action movie that tries to turn a U.S. defeat into a victory by encouraging you to identify with the men who fought their way out of an urban conflagration not of their making.

		U.S. embassies to Black African countries specially interested in southern Africa must be highly circumspect in view of the activity of certain political circles and influential individuals opposing the objectives and methods of U.S. policy toward South Africa.

		George Ayittey, a Black African from Ghana who professes economics at American University and votes Republican, says supply-side economics only works in mature countries like the United States and Europe, and the immature countries are poor because they have corrupt political leaders.
		In other words, the tax system is the result of good people who shun the temptations of corruption—not the cause of a sound economy where people can afford to shun corrupt ways because they can support their families on their after-tax incomes.
		Nobel Prizewinners are blaming the politicians for the miseries of Black Africa—and other parts of the impoverished world—because they can’t admit to themselves that their demand-side economic policies have been the CAUSE of the poverty.

	BlackNews.com - Column: Madonna Cast An Ugly Glare On Africa's Orphan Tragedy
		The worst part is that apart from a string of bulging, cramped, desperately under funded, and in many cases unsafe orphanages in Sub-Saharan Africa, many of these children are doomed to live out their childhood years in a caretaker existence.
		The even more galling thing is that Africa’s orphans are still mostly unwanted anywhere else in the world, and that includes the U.S. Last year nearly 21,000 immigrant visas were issued to Americans that adopted orphans from other nations.
		The unstated, and more contemptible, reason groups scream about the adoption is the archaic notion that a white, especially a wealthy white celebrity, is abysmally culturally clueless when it comes to raising a fl child, or worse, they’ll whitewash their fl identity, and tout white values (whatever they may be).

	Exploring Africa
		According to this classification, Sub-Saharan Africa is comprised of traditional African cultures and societies and by the “fl race.” North Africa, on the other hand, it was argued, is dominated by the Arab culture, language, and “non-fl” peoples, who “racially,” culturally and socially are not African, having their roots in western Asia (Middle East).
		While it is true that North Africa has a shared Arab heritage which is distinguishes it from other regions in Africa, as you learned in Module Seven A: African History to 1500, there are many social, cultural, historical, as well as geographic characteristics which unite North Africa with the regions south of the Sahara.
		This is different from the situation in North America and Australia, where, as a result of the massive immigration of settlers from Europe combined with repressive policies, which resulted in the death and depopulation of the indigenous Native American and Aboriginal population, the European settlers soon outnumbered the indigenous populations.

	The Black Commentator - Letter to Readers Issue 11

		South Africa's military is formidable, albeit racially unreliable.
		Yet South Africa's Black leadership - grouped one way or the other around the ANC - is determinedly democratic, and has been critical of Mugabe's treatment of trade unions and non-ZANU-PF civil society in general.

	The Black Commentator - The real U.S policy in Africa - Issue 50
		Congo had been nominally independent from Belgium for only two months, yet Eisenhower, far from looking away from Africa during his last months in office, was already embarked on a relentless policy of continental destabilization, one that has been fundamentally adhered to by every U.S. President that followed.
		U.S. policy in Africa is anything but “incoherent.” Rather, too many of us have “looked away” from the clear pattern of U.S. behavior and intent — a ferocious, bipartisan determination to arrest African development at every opportunity and by all possible means — including the death of millions.
		African Americans typically criticize the U.S. for failing to treat Black lives as valuable — in other words, Washington is accused of neglecting the carnage in Central and West Africa because of racism.

	KUSH: Black Africa's Civilization Before Egypt
		For the Greeks, and later the Romans, it was to be Ethiopia, a general term encompassing the whole of Black Africa.
		From then on, the "Black Pharaohs" who wore the double uraeus (royal serpent fixed to the head-dress), symbol of their double royalty, were to install in Egypt a period of peace, prosperity and artistic renewal which reached its peak under King Taharqa(690 - 664 B.C.).
		Towards the end of the 4th Century A.D., Meroïtic power was to give way to the Christian sovereignty of Axoum, in Ethiopia; nonetheless, objects such as the Karanog bowlcontinued to be produced, bearing witness to the persistence of Meroïtic civilisation.

	The New Black Literature in South Africa
		While Apartheid-era literature was largely preoccupied by the theme of violence against the fls by the ruling white population, fl writers in the post-Apartheid South Africa have seized the initiative in writing stories about more complex issues beyond racial politics.
		There were a number of fl South African authors in history, for example, Sol Plaatje is thought to be the first in his cohort to have published an English novel entitled Mhudi.
		Having spent 32 years in exile, his novels interestingly depict characters coming to terms with post-Apartheid life, of which the struggle to hold on to traditional African values in the face of the new South African politics and western materialism is an important theme.

		This unit is designed to introduce middle school or high school students to aspects of African cultures through the study of masks in the initiation ceremonies, namely in French speaking fl Africa.
		In Africa, the "mask" incorporates four different inseparable components: it is not only the sculpted object, usually from wood, that is commonly called "mask", but it is also the man wearing it, the costume worn by this man and the spirit or ancestor represented.
		The fact that the students are assigned to do some research on a specific country in French speaking fl Africa is going to define their choice of the mask they will analyze and present in the classroom.

	Exploring Africa
		Regions in Africa Historically, there have been a number of ways in which Africa has been regionalized in the academic disciplines, by international organizations, and by international governmental agencies.
		In the past decade, there has been a growing recognition that the division of Africa into these two regions was created to fit anachronistic cold-war and racialized paradigms of the world that are not viable.
		While North Africa has a shared Arab heritage which distinguishes it from other regions in Africa, there are social, physical, cultural, and historical connections which unite North Africa with the regions south of the Sahara and makes a stark bifurcation between North and Sub-Saharan Africa untenable.
