  PASALA Graduate Symposium 1997: Milbourne
To borrow Terrence Ranger's phrase, kuomboka is an "invented tradition.''(23) It is a continually inventive tradition.
In both his original discussion of invention in Africa, and his insightful revisitation of the same theme, Ranger focuses upon the interplay between colonial forces and colonized Africans.(24) Ranger uses the Lozi, and kuomboka, to illustrate the process of invention during the colonial era.
While I would agree with Terence Ranger that ethnic terminology was developed to differentiate as well as consolidate subjects, neither contemporary issues of ethnic consciousness nor explanations of ethnic terms reaches to what I would call a part to whole identity interchange.(29) An Mbunda presence in Barotseland is Lozi.

 The Ranger Rundown
In 1999, the Rangers set a franchise record with 95 wins and won their third division title in four years.
The Rangers could have made these moves weeks ago with no appreciable effect on their situation, but grabbing a former All-Star off waivers and trading a demi-prospect for a reliever denotes bold activity, while calling up mildly effective relievers from your own farm system conveys weakness and torpor.
(The Rangers’ four-game swan dive has rendered this piece moot as far as Texas is concerned, but in the words of Blake, "I'm going anyway.

This tendency is illustrated in historic folk art movements in the US, England, and Japan that followed industrialization, when the majority of the population started living in urban environments.
What emerges, then, is what Hobsbawm and Ranger (1992) call “invented tradition.” Brian Moeran explains, "the idea of "tradition" came into its own only when community solidarity began to break down, following contact with the outside world.

 Selwyn R. Cudjoe - Sat Maharaj's Intellectual Blindness
No one can seriously discuss the matters he raises without seeking to understand when Indians or Africans became Trinbagonians (Benedict Anderson "Imagined Communities" may have been helpful here); how identities are formed (Stuart Hall, "The Question of Identity," is useful in this regard); or how traditions themselves are invented to feed national needs.
In this regard, Eric Hobswawm and Terrence Ranger's "The Invention of Tradition" may serve as a guide.
Nor, does it help to repeat, parrot-like, theories about Indian family values and delayed gratification strategies with the implicit assumptions that Africans lack these values which presumably accounts for our debased or detestable state.

Some newspaper articles had been stapled on the stand's walls, which angered those bent on violence.
Ironically one of the articles was one written by Terrence Ranger, one of the trustees, who wrote against violence and for the abidement by the law.

 The Virtual Pomegranate
The result was a new awareness of just how sensitive folklore is to any type of social change, and of how all beliefs and practices are products of unique interactions between individual performers and their audiences.
More thorough historical research also began to unearth how many customs which appeared to exist from time immemorial were in fact of rather recent invention (Hobsbawm and Ranger, 1983).
This is not to deny the historicity of many folk traditions.

But what of the dance traditions that we see taught in schools, community centers and other locations?
Rather than being primordial, ancient cultural practices, the dances that immigrant and ethnic communities, as well as American folk dance teachers and recreational folk dancers, and amateur and professional folk dance companies perform, are often what Hobsbawm and Ranger have termed “invented traditions.” (1983).
I will cite three examples, but, in fact, there are many more.

Nevertheless, the protests against Fire are not primarily about women "but about what constitutes authentic cultural tradition" (Mani, 118).
Eric Hobsbawm and Terrence Ranger in The Invention of Tradition demonstrate brilliantly that traditions which appear ancient are of quite recent origin.
They are invented through a "set of practices, of a ritual or symbolic nature which seek to inculcate certain values and norms of behavior by repetition which automatically implies continuity with a suitable historic past" (10).
