By God’s grace, Moussa eventually came to know Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.

  • Helen Myers (Grove Music Online) Ethnomusicology, §II: History to 1945
    Helen Myers (Grove Music Online) Ethnomusicology, §II: History to 1945 II. Pre-1945 1. Background. (i) Early sources. Western interest in non-Western music dates back to the voyages of discovery, and the philosophical rationale for the study of foreign cultures derives from the Age of Enlightenment. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78) argued that music is cultural not natural and that diverse peoples would react differently to ‘diverse musical accents’; his Dictionnaire de Musique (1768) includes samples of Swiss, Iranian, Chinese and Canadian Amerindian music. As early as the 17th century Europeans, including missionaries, explorers and civil servants, made contributions to music research in the colonies, through references in diaries and monographs. Captain James Cook (1728–79) recorded careful descriptions of the music and dance of Pacific islanders (1784); the Swiss theologian Jean de Léry (1534–1611) wrote about Brazil in Histoire d’un voyage faict en la terre du Brésil (1578), which includes musical notation and describes antiphonal singing between men and women and dancers in elaborately feathered costumes. Jacques Cartier (1491–1557) observed Canadian Amerindian singing and dancing on his New World voyages (1534, 1535–6) and his crew entertained the Amerindians with ‘trompettes et aultres instruments de musique’ (Biggar, 1924). The early literature is particularly rich in writings on Chinese music. The French Jesuit Jean-Baptiste du Halde (1674–1743) based his monograph, Description géographique, historique, chronologique, politique et physique de l’empire de la Chine et de la Tartarie chinoise (1735), on reports of Jesuit missionaries to China from the 16th century onwards. The French cleric Joseph Amiot (1718–93) served for some 60 years as a missionary in Beijing, where he wrote the pioneering study, Mémoire sur la musique des Chinois tant anciens que moderns (1779).

  • Settlement Strategies for the South Sudanese Community in Melbourne: an Analysis of Employment and Sport Participation
    Settlement Strategies for the South Sudanese Community in Melbourne: An Analysis of Employment and Sport Participation William Bol Deng Abur College of Art and Education Victoria University Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March, 2018 i Abstract People from refugee backgrounds face a range of settlement-related issues. These issues include limited language proficiency, unemployment, constrained recreational opportunities, and an overall lack of community connectedness. These issues can not only be troublesome on a day-to-day basis, but also adversely affect the long-term wellbeing of refugees. On the other hand, being employed, and having the opportunity to engage with the broader community can enhance the settlement process by giving refugees the resources to navigate their settlement, as they are often confused by the foreign values, protocols, and social practices in their new countries. This study tested the above proposition by examining the work and leisure practices of a sample of the South Sudanese community in Melbourne, Australia. Specifically, the research question was: how has employment and sport participation affected the settlement process of Melbourne’s South Sudanese community? The study has three inter-connected strands: first, to identify the scope and scale of these practices; second, to explore the individual and social outcomes that arise from these practices; and, third, to examine the ways in which these practices impact on settlement outcomes. A mixed methods approach – using questionnaires and interviews – was adopted in order to answer the research question. The questionnaires were used to illuminate the role played by work and sport in the lives of members of Melbourne’s South Sudanese community, and to inform the design of in-depth interviews.

    MAASTRICHT UNIVERSITY EUROPEAN MASTER’S DEGREE IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRATISATION 2015/2016 A VOLCANO RUMBLES IN EAST AFRICA; A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE VULNERABILITY OF SOUTH SUDAN TO WIDESPREAD GENOCIDE WALTER MANDELA DR. ROLAND MOERLAND 1 ABSTRACT S.Sudan is the world‟s youngest state having seceded from Sudan in 20111. The state, comprised of over 60 nations (ethnicities) is presently dominated by 2 ethnic groups2 (Dinka and Nuer). Nonetheless, the Dinka reign supreme having established a “Dinkocracy”.3 Distressingly, the Dinka and Nuer are profoundly polarised.4 The state has a bloody inter-ethnic conflict history especially between the Dinka and the Nuer5 in addition to tribalism, marginalisation and exclusion.6 The economy is in shambles.7 The government has failed to assert its authority throughout the country. 8Sudan sabotages S.Sudanese progress.9 A bulk of the population is traumatised from war and human rights violations10 as countless ”extremist” ethnic militias armed to the teeth roam the country.11 These factors provide the ideal climate for the precipitation of genocide. An alleged coup d‟état in December 2013 exposed the state‟s vulnerability to genocide. It triggered a genocidal state-wide conflict. Uganda‟s military intervened early and arguably prevented widescale genocide.12 This paper applies data representative of the dynamics and realities in S.Sudan to the Stages of genocide formulated by scholars to portray the country‟s susceptibility to genocide. The paper argues for meaningful interventions from Bystanders
