  • Somali Families and Early Childhood Education
    Appendix 5A Somali Families and Early Childhood Education A. Attitudes- Children are a gift from God. Great care goes into naming, feeding, carrying them. In early childhood they are breastfed, carried on the mother’s body and cuddled. B. Environment- Families are used to open spaces and no electricity. When they come here they worry about children being lost or stolen. Because of the political problems children are taught to fight at a young age. They may be more physical than children born in the US. Sharing is not taught, they take care of themselves. There was no structure in the camp. Girls are taught to cook, clean and care for little ones. C. Health Care - Where do you take them when they are sick? There is a high infant mortality rate, most families lose a child. There are some herbal medicines. Here families go to health clinics. D. Education- Many traditional songs are learned from the mothers along with lullabies. The children memorize the songs. Oral tradition is that information is passed down through family members especially extended family. Religious education starts young, children at age seven will learn the Quran, prayers and Eids. After puberty they begin fasting. E. Family Routines- Birthdays are not celebrated. Elders must be respected. Food is served on a large platter and eaten with the right hand. There are not many rules at home parents don’t have discipline strategies. Appendix 5B Vital Components of Somali Tradition – For American School Staff By: Hassan Ali Mohamud I. INTRODUCTION The origin of Somali culture is from Islamic tradition and from the ancestors.

  • Transformations in Twentieth Century Korea
    Transformations in Twentieth Century Korea This edited collection traces the social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of Korea’s dramatic transformation since the late nineteenth century. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the chapters examine the internal and external forces which facilitated the transition towards indus- trial capitalism in Korea, the consequences and impact of social change, and the ways in which Korean tradition continues to inform and influence contemporary South Korean society. Transformations in Twentieth Century Korea employs a thematic structure to discuss the interrelated elements of Korea’s modernization within agri- culture, business and the economy, the state, ideology and culture, and gender and the family. Unlike other literature in the field which focuses on a particular era of Korea’s twentieth century history, the essays in this volume encompass the Choso˘n dynasty, the colonial period, and postcolo- nial Korea. Collectively, they provide us with an original and innovative approach to the study of modern Korea, and show how knowledge of the country’s past is critical to understanding contemporary Korean society. With contributions from a number of prominent international scholars working in the disciplines of sociology, economics, history, and political science, Transformations in Twentieth Century Korea incorporates a global framework of historical narrative, ideology and culture, and statistical and economic analysis to further our understanding of Korea’s evolution towards modernity. Steven Hugh Lee is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia. His previous publications include Out- posts of Empire: Korea, Vietnam and the Origins of the Cold War, 1949–1954 (1995), and The Korean War (2001).
