	The Times 1988-04
		Señor Rafael Calvo Serer, who died in Pamplona on April 19, at the age of 71, was a prominent Spanish newspaper proprietor whose pioneering efforts during the latter years of the Franco regime helped lay the ground for today’s flourishing press freedom in that country.
		Calvo Serer achieved fame largely as the publisher of Madrid the evening newspaper which was closed down by the Franco regime in November 1971, when it had achieved the precarious status of the capital’s only really independent daily.
		Calvo Serer’s militant opposition to the dictatorship did not seem conditioned in any way by his self-confessed membership in the Roman Catholic lay organisation, Opus Dei, several of whose members were ministers of the Franco Governments during the time of his persecution.

		One of the Wolof wives is a Gewel, and the three Serer women, like their husbands, are considered to be Gewel by the rest of the village.
		Unlike their husbands, however, the Serer women (and, of course, the Wolof Gewel wife) have more or less accepted their Gewel status and sometimes participate in griot activities.

	"Crushing the Pistachio": Eroticism in Senegal and the Art of Ousmane Dago (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Dime's sculpture Serer Woman, a work structured by a piece of Senegalese erotic symbolism, puzzled art critics at the Biennial Exposition in Venice (1993) and at the Museum for African Art in New York (1994).
		An overturned mortar forms the convex base of the sculpture; atop the mortar stands an erect pestle, the hammer end of which is decorated with bits of wood that suggest the head and braided hair of a woman.
		To the African imaginaire, however, Serer Woman continues the tradition of erotic storytelling practiced by the Lawbé griots, presenting as it does, in allegory fashion, the anatomy of copulation.

		Steeped in the traditions of their Serer region of central Senegal, but citing Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Joan Armatrading among their prime influences, Pape and Cheikh brilliantly encompass both concepts of folk music.
		Later, at the suggestion of a foreign aid organisation, he moved back to the Kaolack region to take part in a batik-printing project, spending seven years in a village in what was once the Serer kingdom of Sine.
		The unchanging savannah landscape, bleached by remorseless sunlight and dotted with immense baobab trees in whose hollow trunks griots - traditional praise singers - were buried in times gone by, had a profound effect on Pape as did the spirit of the Serer people and their music.

		My Serer informants explained that the phenomenon had a name, which translated roughly as “becoming a child again.” The term did not, however, denote an illness, nor was it a metaphor.
		The Serer believed in reincarnation: sometimes, people overstayed their time on earth and, literally, became children again before they had the chance to be reborn in a physical state that matched their behaviour.
		Although Serer elderly with dementia needed help, just as children do, the village was able to provide support for many of their needs.

		Over several centuries, the Serer of the Siin region of Senegal developed a complex system of land tenure that resulted in a stable rural society, productive agriculture, and a well-managed ecosystem.
		Dennis Galvan tells the story of what happened when French colonial rulers, and later the government of the newly independent Senegal, imposed new systems of land tenure and cultivation on the Serer of Siin.
		Galvan's book is a painstaking and skillful autopsy of ruinous Western-style "rational" economic development policy forced upon a fragile, yet self-sustaining, society.
