It also aimed to return information to the knowledge holders for the purposes of strengthening Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing.

  • An Essential Dichotomy in Australian Kinship Tony Jefferies
    11 Close–Distant: An Essential Dichotomy in Australian Kinship Tony Jefferies Abstract This chapter looks at the evidence for the close–distant dichotomy in the kinship systems of Australian Aboriginal societies. The close– distant dichotomy operates on two levels. It is the distinction familiar to Westerners from their own culture between close and distant relatives: those we have frequent contact with as opposed to those we know about but rarely, or never, see. In Aboriginal societies, there is a further distinction: those with whom we share our quotidian existence, and those who live at some physical distance, with whom we feel a social and cultural commonality, but also a decided sense of difference. This chapter gathers a substantial body of evidence to indicate that distance, both physical and genealogical, is a conception intrinsic to the Indigenous understanding of the function and purpose of kinship systems. Having done so, it explores the implications of the close–distant dichotomy for the understanding of pre-European Aboriginal societies in general—in other words: if the dichotomy is a key factor in how Indigenes structure their society, what does it say about the limits and integrity of the societies that employ that kinship system? 363 SKIN, KIN AND CLAN Introduction Kinship is synonymous with anthropology. Morgan’s (1871) Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family is one of the founding documents of the discipline. It also has an immediate connection to Australia: one of the first fieldworkers to assist Morgan in gathering his data was Lorimer Fison, who, later joined by A.

  • The Fight for Democracy & Women's Rights in Algeria: A
    THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY & WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN ALGERIA: A LONG LEGACY OF STRUGGLE The uprising that began in Algeria on 22 February 2019, was a watershed moment in the country’s 57-year history since independence. It reflects, among other things, the culmination of decades of struggle by two secular movements that have pushed against both the extremist Islamist tendencies in the country, but also against a regime that tried to contain and use the Islamists to its own advantage. The absence of an Islamist presence in the protests and the secular nature of the demands is notable, suggesting that the country has now entered what some call a post-Islamist era. This article explores what gave rise to these new tendencies. It first documents the demise of Islamist influences and shows how the current protests have their roots in two secular movements: the women’s movement and the Kabyle (Berber) movement, thus representing a fundamental shift in Algerian politics. Aili Mari Tripp* Spring 2019 * Aili Mari Tripp is the Wangari Maathai Professor of Political Science and Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

  • Grandparents & Grandfriends
    (sample letter to parents – on school letterhead) Grandparents & Grandfriends Day Friday, October 16, 12:30–3:00 pm Dear Parents, Grandparents and other older adults can be very important people in children’s lives. Children feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when they know that people in their extended family and community are interested in their education. So, we’re having a special celebration! Grandparents & Grandfriends Day recognizes the importance of our heritage, our community, and relationships across generations. We’re inviting the grandparents of our students to the event on Friday, October 16 from 12:30–3:00 pm. This event is intended for children and their grandparents/stepgrandparents or a special “grandfriend.” Sorry – our space is limited, so parents and siblings cannot attend this event. We understand that all children don’t have grandparents, and that some grandparents will be unable to attend. We encourage these children to bring another special older adult – a family friend, other relative like an aunt or uncle, or a neighbor. If no one is available, we are inviting some older adults from a local seniors group to act as “grandfriends” to students. Some children are also happy to share their grandparent with a classmate. If you have questions about who to invite or arranging for a grandfriend, call the event coordinator, Tina Kovalyk, at (333) 333-3333, or talk with your child’s teacher. We ask you to: 1. Give the enclosed information sheet to the grandparent(s) or grandfriend you’re inviting. 2. Complete the enclosed RSVP form. Please print clearly – we need the information to make name tags.

Unbeknownst to many, however, there was a campaign in the 1920s and 1930s to change Father’s Day and Mother’s Day to Parents’ Day, so that fathers and mothers would be honored on the same day. The cam- paign, based in New York City, was essentially a debate about the cultural po- sition of parents in American society. How the campaign came to be—and why, in the end, it failed—illustrate the political maneuvering that character- izes people’s efforts to draw symbolic boundaries around fatherhood and motherhood.

  • The Historical Roots of Amazigh and Its Arabization Factors in Algeria
    THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF AMAZIGH AND ITS ARABIZATION FACTORS IN ALGERIA Ahfir Abdellah Resumen La cuestión amazigh se está actualmente erigiendo en el norte de África como proble- mática espinosa y altamente ideologizada vinculada a sensibles conflictos de identidad. Consecuentemente, en este trabajo planteamos un acercamiento histórico y científico integral que permita el reconocimiento cultural que la región merece. Palabras claves: Amazigh, arabización, lenguas en extinción, transformación étnica, UNESCO. Abstract The question of the North African Amazighs is slowly emerging as a highly difficult and ideological issue because it is related to the sensitive problem of identity. All historical and scientific aspects need to be studied so that the region gains the recognition it deserves. Keywords: Amazigh, Arabization, Algeria, languages in danger, ethnical alteration, UN- ESCO. Introduction Ancient Egyptian writings revealed the true history of the Amazighs, which dates back to about three thousand years BC. In ancient European languages, the Amazigh people were referred to with different names including the Moors (Mauri). The Greeks called them the Mazyes, while the Greek historian Herodotus used the Amazigh word Maxis. The an- cient Egyptians called their Amazigh neighbours “the muddled”. The Ro- mans called them Numidians, or Libo. The Arabs often called them the Berbers. Berber in Arabic comes from the Graeco-Latin word Barbar, a Latin word used to describe all people who did not speak Latin or Greek believing Greek and Roman civilization superior to all others. The Berber or barbarian denomination was used by the Romans not only against the Amazighs but also against Germanic and English rebellious tribes.

  • Happy Mother's Day, Grandma! Little Did We Realize When We Visited My
    Happy Mother ’s Day, Grandma! Page 1 of 3 Happy Mother ’s Day, Grandma! Little did we realize when we visited my Aunt Ruby last week in North Little Rock, Arkansas that it was going to be the last opportunity this side of Heaven to see her. My mom has been missing her and although she was under the weather herself, she had this very strong urge to have us drop her off to spend the week with her precious sister. My mom called at 4:30 Thursday morning just before I left for the National Day of Prayer meeting here at Christchurch to inform me of the passing of Aunt Ruby. All day long memories of our very special aunt have been flooding my mind. Aunt Ruby was academically challenged, physically challenged and had a severe impediment of speech. My grandfather and grandmother tried sending her to more than one school, but every time the teachers sent her back home saying they were unable to teach her. My loving grandparents were heartbroken as other children would make fun of her. The final straw that broke the attempts to formally educate her came when her frail body could not sustain the see-saw ride and she fell, breaking her fragile little arm. She never saw the end of her second grade…and that’s about how we knew her for the rest of our lives, locked- in at grade two. But at home, she found a haven of love and comfort. Recently, I was looking at pictures of my mom, Aunt Florene, Aunt Pearlene and Aunt Ruby when they were little girls in the Great Depression.
