    AFRICANA Rivista di Studi Extraeuropei Indici venticinquennali 1994/95-2019 Associazione di Studi Extraeuropei ASE NUMERO SPECIALE: VENTICINQUE ANNI (1994/95-2019) Per la prima volta il colore entra nella nostra rivista attraverso un ‘timbro’ rosso sulla co- pertina del primo volume, con la scritta predetta. Perché è speciale questo numero? Innanzitutto in quanto siamo arrivati ad un quarto di secolo con uscite regolari: ed è già tanto per i tempi che corrono, dannosi per le pubblicazioni scientifiche. Poi per ospitare ben 19 contributi, primato del periodico, e ben 45 immagini, ulteriore record. Inoltre vi è il presente se- condo volume di 74 pagine dedicato agli indici dal N. I (1994/95) al presente XXV (2019). Indici esaustivamente disposti per Numero, Autore, Argomento e Immagini, Mappe, Grafici e Tabelle. Il secondo volume è pure scaricabile gratuitamente da tutti i visitatori presso l’URL: www.giovanniarmillotta.it/africana/Africana-2019_Volume-II_Indici_1994-2019.pdf È bene ribadire a cinque lustri dall’uscita del primo numero di «Africana» (settembre 1994) il doveroso ringraziamento ai collaboratori che in quest’arco di tempo hanno dato la possibilità alla rivista di mantenere alta la qualità degli interventi. Il loro apprezzamento è giunto pure al di fuori dei confini nazionali, e i giovani collaboratori di ieri, sono oggi docenti, ricercatori, saggisti e affermati professionisti nei loro rispettivi campi. Nell’estate 2011 – quando vennero meno i sostegni alla stampa scientifica e indipendente – in quanto «Africana» non rappresenta né Università, neppure Istituti e tantomeno gruppi di sorta – non abbiamo mai dubitato sulla continuità fattiva del periodico. Attraverso sottoscrizioni popolari essa ha retto granitica e inalterata la volontà del fondatore, Vittorio Antonio Salvadorini, a che la testata sia voce democratica e autonoma, slegata da vincoli di qualsiasi genere, a favore della libertà di studio ed espressione, ribadendo indipendenza di pensiero e azione.

    From the book FUTURE LIFE AND OCCULT BEINGS by Mikael Hasama Raka (124 pages, 1984) 1 From the book FUTURE LIFE AND OCCULT BEINGS by Mikael Hasama Raka (124 pages, 1984) From the book FUTURE LIFE AND OCCULT BEINGS by Mikael Hasama Raka 124 pages, 1984 CHAPTER ONE SOCIETY AND CULTURE SOCIETY Before the Italian occupation, Eritrea was divided into several free districts maintaining different names. For the sake of unity, Italy gave it the name of Eritrea, after the Roman term for the Red Sea, Mare erythraem. Eritrea has an area of roughly 119,000 square kilometres. Its 800-kilometer-long coastline stretches from Ras Dumeira in the south to Ras Kassar in the north. Eritrea is divided into three main zones: (a) highland, (b) middleland, and (c) lowland, with over 220 large and small islands in the Red Sea. Its peculiar geographical conformation favoured free mass migration into the region, from various directions, before the colonial era, and, consequently, different races of people have either passed through or settled here in the past. Its strategic position as a base for communication with the outside world attracted the attention of great powers at all periods, and the country has always been the victim of its geographic location. The present population is the mixture of various ethnic groups of Semito-Hamatic origin that came from different parts over the centuries, settled in the country, and mingled together. They profess Christian and Muslim religions and have nine different languages, the mostly widely used of which are Tigre and Tigrigna, of Gheez origin, a Semitic language.
