Swahili Forum 10 (2003)
SSWWAAHHIILLII FFOORRUUMM 1100 Edited by Rose Marie Beck, Lutz Diegner, Thomas Geider, Uta Reuster-Jahn 2003 Department of Anthropology and African Studies Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany Swahili Forum 10 (2003) A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SWAHILI LITERATURE, LINGUISTICS, CULTURE AND HISTORY Compiled by Thomas Geider The present alphabetical Bibliography ranging from 'Abdalla' to 'Zhukov' includes old and new titles on Swahili Literature, Linguistics, Culture and History. Swahili Studies or 'Swahil- istics' have grown strong since the mid-1980s when scholars started to increasingly engage in international networking, first by communicating through the newsletter Swahili Language and Society: Notes and News from Vienna (Nos. 1.1984-9.1992) and Antwerp (No. 10.1993) and then through the journal Swahili Forum published at the University of Cologne (Nos. I. 1994 - IX. 2002), not to mention the numerous conferences held in Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, London, Bayreuth and other places, and not to forget the achievements of the journal Kiswa- hili from Dar es Salaam as another steady medium of Swahili scholarship. Part of this net- working consists of continuously updated bibliographical information which has been pro- vided in different forms: a coherent collection of bibliographical data was annually issued in the SLS: NN-Letters, based on regular submissions of correspondents. Swahili Forum was less successful in this as scholars only occasionally sent in information. So from No. VII onwards it was decided to include articles providing bibliographical data. These derived from subjec- tive scholarly interest of the author as well as from regular checking of the book and journal accessions in four major Africanist libraries in Germany (Geider 2000, 2001, 2002). -

Book Reviews
Nordic Journal of African Studies 10(1): 124-130 (2001) BOOK REVIEWS ESTERHUYSEN Pieter (ed.), 1998. AFRICA A-Z: CONTINENTAL AND COUNTRY PROFILES. Pretoria: Africa Institute of South Africa. 373 pp. (A-4 size), + 20 pp. references and index. ISBN 0-7983-0135 Reviewed by Arvi Hurskainen University of Helsinki, Finland Africa Institute of South Africa has produced a series of source materials on the African continent known as the Africa Institute Educational Service. The statistical compendium Africa at a Glance with its numerous tables, maps and graphs on a variety of topics has been in the market already since the 1970s. This basic source book was later complemented by the poster-size Africa Wall Map and Africa Fact Sheet with basic data in condensed format. Africa A-Z is the third in this series and it, together with the earlier ones, is considered to constitute a basic package of information on Africa. The target group of these materials includes 'schools and other educational institutions'. The book consists of two parts. In the first section, a condensed overview is given of a wide range of aspects on Africa. The major features of the geography of Africa, including the influence of the changing winds and currents in different times of the year, are well described and make very interesting reading. The reader gets a clear picture (perhaps sometimes too clear), why sea water is cold on the shore of Namibia and Angola and why it is warm on the coast of the Indian Ocean, or why some areas are covered by rain forests and other areas have rain hardly at all. -

AIDING AFRICANS: WEST GERMAN PERCEPTIONS OF RACE AND MODERNITY IN THE 1960s by LAUREN NASS Under the Direction of Joe Perry ABSTRACT During the 1960s, decolonization and the Cold War pushed many West Germans to concern themselves with aiding Africans. This aid came in the form of federally funded development aid or Entwicklungshilfe, student activism, and the continuation of missionary work. Utilizing print media, scholarly sources, as well as reports from missionaries and other aid workers, my thesis explores the discourses that surrounded aid work. These discourses reveal a number of ways West Germans conceived of race, modernity, and their role in the world. While acknowledging the multiplicity of views and contest over -
