Item A Comparison of Reduplication in Limonese Creole and Akan(Battlebridge Publications, 2003) Winkler, Elizabeth Grace; Obeng, Samuel GyasiItem African Immigrant Families' Views on English as a Second Language (ESL) Classes Held for Newly Arrived Immigrant Children in the United States Elementary and Middle Schools: A Study in Ethnography(Cambridge Scholars Press, 2006) Obeng, Samuel; Obeng, CeciliaTwenty immigrant families from different Anglophone, Francophone, and Lusophone African countries were interviewed about their views on English as a Second Language (ESL) classes offered by the school systems in the United States to newly arrived immigrant children. Whereas nine families (mostly from Francophone and Lusophone Africa) found the ESL classes useful, eleven families (mostly from Anglophone Africa) found them to be useless because they did not help to improve their children's English. Some respondents were frustrated because ofthe criterion used in selecting students to participate in the program, and also because their children were kept in the program long after their English proficiency had improved. Most respondents saw inclusion within the mainstream classes, instead of separate ESL classes, as a better way to increase students' English competency.Item African Literature(Indiana University Press, 1995) Julien, EileenItem Du terrain au texte: reflexions anthropologiques sur «Voyages et decouvertes dans l'Afrique septentrionale et centrale», 1849-1855.(Rüdiger Köppe Verlag, 2006) Grosz-Ngaté, MariaThis essay examines Heinrich Barth's account in light of contemporary debates on the production of anthropological knowledge, textual representations, and "culture" as an organizing concept in North American anthropology. It consists of two parts. The first reflects on Barth's ethnography in the context of the 19th century human sciences while the second considers his representations of a dynamic Africa and his production of anthropological knowledge in relation to recent critiques of ethnographic methods. The analysis presented here is based on the three-volume English Centenary edition of "Travels and Discoveries" published in 1965.Item Early 20th Century Swahili Prose Narrative Structure and Some Aspects of Swahili Ethnicity(Eckhard Breitinger and Reinhard Sander, 1985) Rollins, Jack D.Item Foreword: An Urn for the Dead, an Hourglass for the Living(Indiana University Press, 2006) Julien, EileenItem Future and distal -ka-'s: Proto-Bantu or nascent form(s)?(Stanford: Center for the Study of Language and Information, 1999) Botne, RobertItem Introduction [to Traders versus the State](Westview Press, 1988) Clark, GraciaThis edited volume shows state authorities struggling with market and street traders over control of the economy and of city space. The introduction considers debates over concepts of informal, illegal and immoral trade, the relation between state credibility and public subsistence, and modalities of linkage and collusion between traders and specific state actors. Ethnographic cases analyze violent confrontations and hostile policies from Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Peru, India, Hong Kong and Washington, DC.Item Labor Migration, Gender, and Social Transformation in Rural Mali.(Michigan State University Press, 2000) Grosz-Ngaté, MariaThis chapter analyzes the social dynamics and cultural meanings of male and female labor migration among Bamana speakers in the province of Sana, Segou region. It discusses the modalities of migration in the context of women’s and men’s position within the household, the ambiguities and tensions that emerged around migration during the 1980s and early 1990s, and local responses to these.Item Masks and Music, Spirit and Sports: Gunyege in Performance(Lowe Art Museum, University of of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, 2005) Reed, Daniel B.Item Money, sex and cooking: manipulation of the paid/unpaid boundary by Asante market women(University Press of America and The Society for Economic Anthropology, 1989) Clark, GraciaThis paper analyses how Asante women trading in the Central Market of Kumasi (Ghana’s second largest city) balance the demands of trading and domestic work upon their time and money. Matriliny and duolocal marriage define very different conflicts for childcare and cooking, because of women’s authority as mothers and deference as wives. The evening meal has strong associations with sexual fidelity and financial support, leaving less flexibility for married women in its timing, quality and personal performance. The discussion of life cycle strategies of compromise draws on ethnographic fieldwork 1978-84.Item Nationalism without a Nation: Understanding the Dress of Somali Women in Minnesota(Indiana University Press, 2004) Akou, Heather MarieItem Price control of local foodstuffs in Kumasi, Ghana, 1979(Westview Press, 1988) Clark, GraciaThis chapter centers on Ghana’s 1979 “housecleaning” anti-corruption exercise led by J.J. Rawlings. Intensified price controls legitimated violent attacks on markets and stores, selling off goods at arbitrary low prices and widespread confiscations. A history of price controls since colonial times shows ideological links emerging to corruption and falling real incomes, and compares the effects of various enforcement episodes and a currency exchange on food supplies and commercial practices. Detailed ethnographic accounts of raids, demolitions, meetings and negotiations in Kumasi Central Market contrast the treatment of women traders with that of men in informal production, and the relative impact on wealthier and poorer traders.Item Putting on a Pano and Dressing Like our Grandparents: Nation and Dress in Late Colonial Luanda(Indiana University Press, 2004) Moorman, Marissa J.In late colonial Angola, under a politically repressive regime, cultural practice flourished. But young Angolans reached beyond the cultural vistas of Angola and the horizons of the Portuguese colonial imaginary, to create local fashions and other cultural practices that asserted both their difference and their participation in a larger world. What developed was a cosmopolitan youth culture that recognized itself in the cut of a jacket, the length of a skirt, or the tilt of the hat from elsewhere just as it donned those symbols as intimate expressions of angolanidade (Angolan-ness). As the colonial state became more repressive in response to nationalist political activities in Angola, such self-styling grew in its significance becoming both more widespread (within the capital and throughout the territory) and more meaningful. The possibilities for dress and their consequent meanings varied by gender and this could not help but have implications for the nation being forged in the seemingly apolitical practices of dress and entertainment.Item Rape, Repression, and Narrative Form in Le Devoir de violence and La Vie et demie(Columbia University Press, 1991) Julien, EileenItem Reading 'orality' in French-language novels from sub-Saharan Africa(Edward Arnold (Publishers) Ltd., 2003) Julien, EileenItem When a Man Loves a Woman: Gender and National Identity in Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman and Mariama Bâ's Scarlet Song.(Indiana University Press, 2006) Julien, Eileen
