Selected List of References Liste De Références Selected List of References Liste de Références The following list of references has been compiled for participants of Terra 2008 who wish to do further reading on the earthen architectural heritage of Mali, prior to the conference. The list is sorted by conference theme and by site. Sections with related topics (mostly Malian textiles) and additional references are also included, as is a section with travel guides for Mali. We would like to acknowledge the efforts of Leslie Friedman who researched and compiled this list of references while interning at the Getty Conservation Institute.

  • Tourism in the Hombori Region (Mali) Mission Report 2009
    Tourism in the Hombori region (Mali) Mission Report 2009 Carole Schaber* Caritas Schweiz, Switzerland Olivier Walther* Centre for Population, Poverty and Public Policy Studies, Luxembourg Mission report prepared for the Hombori Project University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland http://www.hombori.org Luxembourg, March 30, 2010 Abstract The objective of this mission report is to examine the recent development of the Hombori region as a tourist destination in Mali. Building on previous comparative research done within the framework of the Hombori Project, the report more particularly analyses the profiles of the tourists visiting the region and the transformations brought to Hombori by the increase of tourism. Keywords: Tourism; Development; West Africa; Mali; Hombori * Caritas Schweiz, Löwenstrasse 3, CH-6002 Lucerne, Switzerland. ** Department of Geography, Centre for Population, Poverty and Public Policy Studies, PO Box 48, L-4501 Differdange, Luxembourg. E-mail address: [email protected]. The Hombori Project The Hombori Project is a multidisciplinary research project whose aim is to contribute to the long-term biodiversity monitoring and locally supported protection of the Hombori region in Mali. Several field researches have been conducted so far in order to characterize the biological diversity and study the impact of human activities on biodiversity. Research done by geographers have, in parallel, studied the emergence of Hombori as a tourist destination and examined the potential threats and opportunities that tourism could bring to the region.

In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to their earliest human ancestors. John Iliffe was Professor of African History at the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow of St. John’s College. He is the author of several books on Africa, including Amodern history of Tanganyika and The African poor: A history,which was awarded the Herskovits Prize of the African Studies Association of the United States.

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.

  • INVESTIGATING the SIRIUS "MYSTERY" Ian Ridpath
    INVESTIGATING THE SIRIUS "MYSTERY" Ian Ridpath Did amphibious beings from the star Sirius visit the earth 5,000 or more years ago and leave advanced astronomical knowledge that is still pos- sessed by a remote African tribe called the Dogon? This astonishing claim was put forward in 1976 by Robert Temple in his "ancient astro- naut" book, The Sirius Mystery. An astronomer, familiar with the Sirius system, would say no, because astronomical theory virtually precludes the possibility that Sirius is a suitable parent star for life or that it could have habitable planets. But most of Robert Temple's readers would not know enough astronomy to judge the matter for themselves. Neither would they find the relevant astronomical information in Temple's book, most of which consists of brain-numbing excursions into Egyptol- ogy. (Isaac Asimov has been quoted by Temple as having said that he found no mistakes in the book; but Temple did not know that the reason for this, according to Asimov, was that he had found the book too im- penetrable to read!*) Even the BBC-TV Horizon investigation on an- cient astronauts (broadcast as part of the PBS "Nova" series in the United States), which did an otherwise excellent demolition job on the more extreme fantasies of Erich von Daniken, left the Sirius problem unanswered because of its extreme complexity. Yet an answer is needed, because the Dogon legends about a companion to Sirius are claimed to originate before any terrestrial astronomer could have known of the ex- istence of Sirius B, let alone its 50-year orbit or its nature as a tiny, con- * E d i t o r ' s note: See Asimov's essay, "The Dark Companion," in his Quasar, Quasar Burning Bright (Doubleday, 1978), in which he says he is embarrassed by his stupidity in not specifying that his comment, made only "to get rid of him [Temple] and to be polite," not be quoted.

  • Ounjougou (Mali): Troisième Campagne De Recherches Dans Le Cadre Du Programme Paléoenvironnement Et Peuplement Humain En Afrique De L’Ouest
    Ounjougou (Mali): Troisième campagne de recherches dans le cadre du programme Paléoenvironnement et peuplement humain en Afrique de l’Ouest. Eric Huysecom1, Eric Boëda2, Koen Deforce3, Hughes Doutrelepont3, Alex Downing1, Nicolas Fedoroff4, Doulaye Konaté5, Anne Mayor1, Sylvain Ozainne1, Francesco Raeli1, Aline Robert1, Emile Roche6, Sylvain Soriano2, Ousmane Sow5 et Stephen Stokes7* I. Présentation générale Le programme international Paléoenvironnement et peuplement humain en Afrique de l’Ouest, placé sous la coordination générale d’Eric Huysecom (Mission Archéologique et Ethnoarchéologique Suisse en Afrique de l’Ouest MAESAO, Uni- versité de Genève), est mené depuis 1997 sur le site d’Ounjougou au Mali. La par- ticipation suisse à ce projet est cofinancée par le Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique (FNRS) et par la Fondation Suisse-Liechtenstein pour les recherches archéologiques à l’étranger (FSLA)9. La thématique générale de ce pro- gramme de recherche a pour objet l’étude du peuplement humain local présent et passé, ainsi que l’analyse des réponses apportées par ces populations aux varia- tions climatiques et environnementales, par le biais de l’étude du site d’Ounjou- gou sur le plateau de Bandiagara (Huysecom 1996, Huysecom et alii 1998 et 1999). L’ensemble du programme est placé à ce jour sous les auspices des commissions malienne et suisse de l’UNESCO et devrait prochainement passer sous l’égide géné- rale de l’UNESCO. 1 Département d’anthropologie et d’écologie 1.1.
