Coupled with evidence on the role of incentives in driving ethnic identity change, I propose that a change in the ethnic identity of presidents in non- democracies should lead to ethnic switching among citizens towards the new ruling ethnic group. Using Demographic and Health Survey data from thirteen African countries, I show that change in the ethnic identity of the President leads to a shift of women identifying with the new ruling ethnic group of around 1.5% of the population in non-democracies, or on average 10% of the President’s ethnic group. This relationship is robust to the use of a variety of control variables and different specifications as well as the use of qualitative case study evidence from Ghana and Guinea; I also suggest it may be an underestimate due to data limitations.

  • Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register
    Nomination form International Memory of the World Register 2014-91 William Ponty School Collection of Papers 1.0 Summary (maximum 200 words) Give a brief description of the documentary heritage nominated and the reasons for this nomination. This part constitutes the “showcase” of your nomination and, preferably it should be the last part to be drafted. It should contain all the essential points, so that anyone reading it can understand your presentation without even reading the entire nomination. To provide French West Africa with school teachers, a teacher training trainee college was created in Saint Louis by order of 24 November 2000. The school, attached to the General Government, was called William Ponty School. In 1933, the school became a real African education centre with the development of Papers of William Ponty School, which are manuscripts written by third-year students during their summer holidays. These studies deal with 28 topics related to socio-cultural aspects of Black Africa (see CD-Rom). They are precious documents bequeathed by eminent Africans who notably occupied the following high positions: - Mamadou DIA, Senegal, President of the Council; - Boubacar DialloTelli, Republic of Guinea, First Secretary General of the African Union (AU), from 1964 to 1972; - Lansana Béovogui, Republic of Guinea, Prime Minister; - Philippe Yacé, Côte d’Ivoire, Speaker of the National Assembly; - Assane Seck, Senegal, Minister, University Professor; - Alexandre Sénou Adandé, Dahomey, now Benin, Minister. These documents have a universal scope because of the diversity of the regions and ethnic groups studied, their consultation by experts from the whole world and their scientific and historical value.

  • Textual Analysis
    A Place on the Edge: Textual Analysis of Online News About Africa Omolola Anne Famuyiwa Ohio University, Athens Abstract This paper examines the coverage of Africa on websites of news stations in the United States. CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS are four major sources of news in the United States and their websites are created to enable more people have access to the world. This paper will report on a textual analysis of online news about Africa especially in relation to “children”, “health” and “education” looking at both headlines and stories. Stories that mention celebrities, politicians or politics is excluded Rationale Recently, I visited a school in the Athens area to talk about my home country – Nigeria - and to my shock the children and even teachers knew very little about my country which has come to be known by the world as the giant of Africa. As I tried to comprehend this discovery I asked “What do you know about Africa?” and what I heard made me realize how far removed they are from the true situation in Africa. This led me to find out how much information was available in the local and national newspapers. I found out from reading The Athens Messenger, The Post, The Athens News, New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post and Washington Times that in summary stories about Africa show that Africans are weak and depend on the West for help. Then I decided to check online for what Africans are writing about themselves and how they are trying to re-orientate the young ones (even if it is almost impossible to change the mind set of adults).
