    World Directory of Minorities Africa MRG Directory –> Mali –> Mali Overview Print Page Close Window Mali Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment The Republic of Mali is a landlocked state in West Africa that extends into the Sahara Desert in the north, where its north-eastern border with Algeria begins. A long border with Mauritania extends from the north, then juts west to Senegal. In the west, Mali borders Senegal and Guinea; to the south, Côte d'Ivoire; to the south-east Burkina Faso, and in the east, Niger. The country straddles the Sahara and Sahel, home primarily to nomadic herders, and the less-arid south, predominately populated by farming peoples. The Niger River arches through southern and central Mali, where it feeds sizeable lakes. The Senegal river is an important resource in the west. Mali has mineral resources, notably gold and phosphorous. Peoples Main languages: French (official), Bambara, Fulfulde (Peulh), Songhai, Tamasheq. Main religions: Islam (90%), traditional religions (6%), Christian (4%). Main minority groups: Peulh (also called Fula or Fulani) 1.4 million (11%), Senoufo and Minianka 1.2 million (9.6%), Soninké (Saracolé) 875,000 (7%), Songhai 875,000 (7%), Tuareg and Maure 625,000 (5%), Dogon 550,000 (4.4%) Bozo 350,000 (2.8%), Diawara 125,000 (1%), Xaasongaxango (Khassonke) 120,000 (1%). [Note: The percentages for Peulh, Soninke, Manding (mentioned below), Songhai, and Tuareg and Maure, as well as those for religion in Mali, come from the U.S. State Department background note on Mali, 2007; Data for Senoufo and Minianka groups comes from Ethnologue - some from 2000 and some from 1991; for Dogon from Ethnologue, 1998; for Diawara and Xaasonggaxango from Ethnologue 1991; Percentages are converted to numbers and vice-versa using the State Department's 2007 estimated total population of 12.5 million.] Around half of Mali's population consists of Manding (or Mandé) peoples, including the Bambara (Bamana) and the Malinké.

  • Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟S Center on Applied Feminism for Its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference
    Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟s Center on Applied Feminism for its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference. “Applying Feminism Globally.” Feminism from an African and Matriarchal Culture Perspective How Ancient Africa’s Gender Sensitive Laws and Institutions Can Inform Modern Africa and the World Fatou Kiné CAMARA, PhD Associate Professor of Law, Faculté des Sciences Juridiques et Politiques, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SENEGAL “The German experience should be regarded as a lesson. Initially, after the codification of German law in 1900, academic lectures were still based on a study of private law with reference to Roman law, the Pandectists and Germanic law as the basis for comparison. Since 1918, education in law focused only on national law while the legal-historical and comparative possibilities that were available to adapt the law were largely ignored. Students were unable to critically analyse the law or to resist the German socialist-nationalism system. They had no value system against which their own legal system could be tested.” Du Plessis W. 1 Paper Abstract What explains that in patriarchal societies it is the father who passes on his name to his child while in matriarchal societies the child bears the surname of his mother? The biological reality is the same in both cases: it is the woman who bears the child and gives birth to it. Thus the answer does not lie in biological differences but in cultural ones. So far in feminist literature the analysis relies on a patriarchal background. Not many attempts have been made to consider the way gender has been used in matriarchal societies.

Benjamin The Texture of Change: Cloth Commerce and History in West Africa, 1700-1850 Abstract This study re-examines historical change in western Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the lens of cotton textiles; that is by focusing on the production, exchange and consumption of cotton cloth, including the evolution of clothing practices, through which the region interacted with other parts of the world. It advances a recent scholarly emphasis to re-assert the centrality of African societies to the history of the early modern trade diasporas that shaped developments around the Atlantic Ocean.

  • 1 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview of the West Atlantic Languages As Wolof Has Not Been Widely Studied in the Generative Trad
    Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview of the West Atlantic Languages As Wolof has not been widely studied in the generative tradition, this section will serve to situate it in phyletic and geographic context. Wolof is a member of the Atlantic (or “West Atlantic”) sub-branch of the Niger-Congo family. Although classification schemes differ, it is generally agreed that the Atlantic subfamily represents one of the earliest branchings within the Niger-Congo phylum (Greenberg 1963, Ruhlen 1991, Heine and Nurse 2000). In fact, as a group, the Atlantic languages are unfortunately largely understudied. With the exception of Fula, linguistic materials on the Atlantic languages are typically scarce and scattered. These range from descriptions and traditional traditional grammars to pedagogical works, word lists, and dictionaries. Within the descriptive tradition, detailed linguistic works and grammars have been written for Fula (Sylla 1992), Kissi (Childs 1995), and Noon (Soukka 2000), for example. The most widely studied Atlantic language is Fula, which has a descriptive literature and a fair number of analytical works. Note though, that it has been the phonological system of Fula that has attracted the attention of most scholars. After Fula, the number of analytical and descriptive works drops precipitously. Even Wolof, one of the national languages of Senegal, has been little investigated overall. Within the literature on Wolof, it has been the phonological system that has been the center of study, especially vowel harmony (Ka 1989, Ndiaye 1995, Sy 2003).1 Descriptive works on Wolof include Diagne 1971, Mangold 1977, Church 1981, Dialo 1981, and Ka 1981. The only extensive analytical treatments of Wolof syntax are Njie 1981 and Dunigan 1994.2 Wolof is a member of the Senegambian group of the Northern branch in Atlantic.

  • Boubacar Barry Is One of the Leading Figures in West African Historiogra- Phy
    Boubacar Barry is one of the leading figures in West African historiogra- phy. His authoritative study of 400 years of Senegambian history is unri- valled in its detailed grasp of published and unpublished materials. Taking as its subject the vast area covering the Senegal and Gambia river basins, this book explores the changing dynamics of regional and Atlantic trade, clashes between traditional African and emergent Muslim authorities, the slave trade and the colonial system, and current obstacles to the integra- tion of the region's modern states. Professor Barry argues cogently for the integrity of the Senegambian region as a historical subject, and he forges a coherent narrative from the dismemberment and unification which char- acterized Senegambia's development from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. This newly translated study is a vital tool in our understanding of West African history.

    Université de Montréal La représentation de la collectivité dans la mise en acte du chant choral sénégalais chez les Sérères noon de Saint Pierre Julien Eymard de Koudiadiène Par Anthony Grégoire Faculté de musique Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise en ethnomusicologie Avril 2016 © Anthony Grégoire, 2016 Résumé Portant sur les modalités d’appropriation de la pratique chorale occidentale en milieu catholique chez les Sérères noon de Saint Pierre Julien Eymard de Koudiadiène, au Sénégal, ce mémoire tente de voir pourquoi, et surtout comment les différents syncrétismes agissent sur divers symbolismes sénégalais. Il vise plus particulièrement à comprendre toute l’importance de l’action de la collectivité dans la mise en acte du répertoire choral, et à comprendre comment l’improvisation spontanée en ensemble se construit en situation de performance dans ce qui est appelé ici la plurivocalité linéaire. Ce mémoire vise dans cette foulée à décrypter le sens autour de cette pratique spécifique du chant choral et à cerner comment le processus d’acculturation agit sur l’identité culturelle des Sérères noon. Finalement, il vise à dégager les affects en situation de performance de la chorale qui semble détenir un rôle central pour les membres de la paroisse Saint Pierre Julien Eymard de Koudiadiène, et à comprendre et mettre en valeur une pratique musicale et son contexte d’insertion social jusqu’alors peu étudiés de façon systématique. Mots-clés : ethnomusicologie; Sérère noon; Sénégal; Koudiadiène; Saint Pierre Julien Eymard; chant choral; mise en acte; performance; syntagmatique performancielle, syncrétisme; collectivité; plurivocalité linéaire. i Abstract On the modalities of appropriation of Western choral practice among Catholic Sérères noon of Saint Pierre Julien Eymard of Koudiadiène, Senegal, this dissertation tries to demonstrate why and how different syncretisms act on various Senegalese symbolisms.

  • Old Homes and New Homelands: Imagining the Nation And
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Africa published by Cambridge University Press: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/africa Accepted version downloaded from soas research online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/26408 OLD HOMES AND NEW HOMELANDS: IMAGINING THE NATION AND REMEMBERING EXPULSION IN THE WAKE OF THE MALI FEDERATION’S COLLAPSE Brandon County and Marie Rodet Abstract: This paper examines concepts of ‘home’ and ‘abroad’ for migrants and citizens in the twilight of empire. It focuses on the ‘cheminots refoulés’, railroad workers with origins in the former Soudan (today’s Republic of Mali) who were expelled from Senegal shortly after both territories declared independence, and other ‘Soudanese’ settled in Senegal sometimes for several generations. Using newly available archives in France, Mali, and Senegal, and interviews with former cheminots and ‘Soudanese migrants’ on both sides of the border, this study seeks to historicize memories of autochthony and allochthony that have been constructed and contested in postcolonial nation-building projects. The Mali Federation carried the lingering memory of federalist political projects, but it proved untenable only months after the Federation’s June 1960 independence from France. When member states declared independence from each other, the internal boundary between Senegal and the Soudanese Republic became an international border between Senegal and the Republic of Mali. In the wake of the collapse, politicians in Bamako and Dakar clamoured to redefine the ‘nation’ and its ‘nationals’ through selective remembering. Thousands of cheminots and ‘Soudanese migrants’ who had moved to Senegal from Soudan years (and decades) earlier were suddenly labelled as ‘foreigners’ and ‘expatriates’ and faced two governments eager to see them ‘return’ to a hastily-proclaimed nation-state.

  • From the Griot of Roots to the Roots of Griot: a New Look at the Origins of a Controversial African Term for Bard
    Oral Tradition, 12/2 (1997): 249-278 From the Griot of Roots to the Roots of Griot: A New Look at the Origins of a Controversial African Term for Bard Thomas A. Hale Introduction The spread of the word griot during the last two decades from its role as a regional descriptor for a certain kind of West African bard to global usage in an extraordinary range of media is the result of many factors. The 1976 Roots phenomenon introduced 1.5 million readers and 130 million viewers to the image of the griot (Pace 1992, Anonymous 1977). Today, griots perform at a variety of venues in cities such as Paris, London, New York, and Tokyo, as well as at hundreds of universities around the world. They are now having an impact on such diverse musical styles as rock, rap, and even modern symphonic music. The on-line LEXIS/NEXIS Information System available to data users at many sites worldwide lists over 1,500 citations containing the word griot in newspapers and other publications. Many of them refer to African American musicians, storytellers, and elders who increasingly are being compared to griots. For example, the National Association of Black Storytellers gave Mary Carter Smith the title “Mother Griot” at the 1994 National Festival of Black Storytelling (Smith 1996). But griot is not limited to the African diaspora. The author Studs Terkel, whose writings are based largely on oral interviews, now compares his work to that of a griot (Heinen 1995). But the positive connotations associated with griots outside of their continent of origin mask an enormous ambivalence to the term for many West Africans, especially those who live in the cities of the Sahel and Savanna region—Dakar, Senegal; Bamako, Mali; and Niamey, Niger.

Young Introduction To paraphrase the old Chinese double-edged proverb, “May you live in interesting times.” We are indeed. The novel coronavirus pandemic has brought sickness and death to almost every corner in the world, with millions infected by this highly contagious zoonotic virus and rising rates of both death and suffering and the traumatic disruption of economic activity in many nations. In the U.S., unemployment rates have soared to heights not seen since the Great Depression. Meanwhile, thousands of retail businesses have been forced into bankruptcy because of the quarantine imposed in most states and countless other enterprises, both large small, struggle to survive. Most troubling of all, there is no definitive end in sight for this catastrophe, with labs around the world scrambling to create an effective vaccine.
