  • SONGHAY: an INTERPRETIVE ESSAY the Physical Milieu the History of Timbuktu and the Songhay Empire Is Embedded in the Broader
    TRANSLATOR’S INTRODUCTION SONGHAY: AN INTERPRETIVE ESSAY The Physical Milieu The history of Timbuktu and the Songhay empire is embedded in the broader history of the Middle Niger, and is intimately linked to the existence of that river and its regime. The Middle Niger may be roughly defined as that segment of the river which begins when the Niger takes a sharp northward turn around the present city of Segu, and ends approximately where the river enters the modern state of Nigeria. This great arc is often referred to as the Niger Bend, or in French la boucle du Niger. For most of this distance—close to one thousand miles—it is navigable by shallow-draft boats and canoes, except during the low-water season at Labbezenga on the eastern reaches of the great bend in the river at 15° N, where rapids impede progress. Throughout this long stretch the river is flowing through arid or semi-arid lands, where average annual rainfall at the twentieth century has varied between 750 mm. (30 in.) in the southern reaches, and less than 250 mm. (10 in.) in the northerly areas, mostly falling between June and September.1 Timbuktu averages 9.1 in. (231 mm.) of rainfall, mainly in July and August, the three preceding months being the hottest season of the year, with daily high temperatures averaging between 41° C. (105° F.) and 43.5° C. (110° F.). Gao scarcely differs. The vegetation produced by such a rainfall and temperature regime is either of the savannah or semi-desert type. In the semi-desert region, where the soil is lateritic, often overlaid with sand, trees are few and far between, except along the dry river-beds.

  • First Steps Towards the Detection of Contact Layers in Bangime: a Multi-Disciplinary, Computer-Assisted Approach
    First steps towards the detection of contact layers in Bangime: A multi-disciplinary, computer-assisted approach 1 Introduction Bangime, a language isolate spoken in central-eastern Mali, represents an enigma, not only in terms of linguistics, but also with regards to their past ethnographic affiliations and migration patterns. The speakers of Bangime, the Bangande, live among and claim to constitute one of the Dogon groups that also occupy the rocky terrain of the Bandiagara Escarpment. However, there is little evidence in support of the Bangande being genetically affiliated with the Dogon or speaking one of the estimated 21 Dogon languages, nor of their being related to the neighboring Mande-speaking groups who inhabit a valley which stretches from the west and ends at the eastern edge of the Escarpment. Further to the north of the area where Bangime is spoken lies the vast Sahara desert, the southern borders of which are occupied by Songhai-speaking populations. Throughout the region are found Fula semi-nomadic herders who speak Fulfulde. Thus, we know that the Bangande have had the opportunity to engage in contact with each of these populations, but because there are no written historical records of their past settlement and migration patterns, nor have there been any archeological investigations of the western portions of the Bandiagara Escarpment where the Bangande are found today, we must rely on data from the present to reconstruct a picture of the past. Figure 1 illustrates the geographic positions of the languages represented in the sample with respect to where Bangime is spoken. Note that the points represent approximations; languages such as Fulfulde have a reach throughout the entire region and even beyond to bordering nations.

  • Changing Malian Women's Economic Activities
    Submitted Article Changing Malian Women’s Economic Activities Vending in the Market, Travelling the World Miku Ito University of Hyogo Abstract: From around the year 2000, Malian women have begun to actively involve themselves in trans- national trade with Dubai (UAE) and Guangzhou (China). They travel alone and purchase commodities by themselves using the help of the Malian diaspora and the commercial network. Although there have been women merchants in Mali’s past, they have gone unnoticed because of the mono- gendered view of the history of long-distance trade. Even in current-day Mali, studies on women’s economic activities tend to be limited to those describing vending in the market. Observing Malian women working in the market as well as conducting trans-national trade in contemporary Mali, we realise the diversification of their economic activities and the social change that has occurred in Malian society. Key words: women merchants, trade, economic activity, gender, Mali I conducted fieldwork for two years for my Ph.D. thesis in Djenné, a small traditional town with a population of around 15,000 in Mali. The town is located on an island surrounded by a branch of the Bani River, one of the tributaries of the Niger River. Djenné is famous for its distinctive architecture, especially its Great Mosque, one of the world’s largest adobe structures. In the town’s public square in front of the mosque, a weekly market is held on Mondays, and thousands of people come here to buy and sell products. There is also a daily market in the centre of the town.
