To IM1 6 BEST COPY AVAILABLE Foreword by Richard S. Scobie Executive Director, Unitarian Universalist Service Committee The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee has been working in pzrtnership with the people of Africa for nearly 30 years. UUSC has supported community organizations involved in agriculture, health, family plant-, ng, water resource development and education in 13 African nations. Philosophies of development have changed over the years, along with the nature of the relationship between Africa and her neighbors and former colonizers to the North and West. During the great drought of the early 1970s, UUSC began to address the linkages between economic and political decisions being made in the United States and the conditions being experienced in Africa. Now, after a dozen more years of work, we are ever more convinced of the importance of these links. Our lives and societies are more intertwined than the average North American knows or can easily accept. This program of study and action is designed to help North Americans better understand the reality of modern Africa and the multiple ways in which our policies and practices have direct impact on the lives and well-being of peoples whose cultures very often pre-date our ownby centuries. It is our hope that the experience of participants using these materials will enable them toboth better understand realities of our relatedness and to be able to work more effectively for a more just world society. 'II 11 j , r-r- i. ..1/ I Introduction by Esther Wyss, Editor, National Coordinator, Odyssey: From Alaska to Zimbabwe I was 13 years old when Ifirst went to live in Ivory Coast, West Africa with my family. As a typical American teen-ager, my immediate reactions to moving to Africa were: "We'll have monkeys and lions in our backyard!" and "I won't have to go to school anymore!" At that time, years of Tarzan movies, National Geographic and Walt Disney specials, and a notion of African History that romanticized Europeans, such as Stanley, Livingstone, and Dr. Albert Schweizer, had left me with some firmly entrenched stereotypes about the so-called "Dark Continent". Even today, geographical illiteracy, lack of and/or distortion of information by the media, racial prejudice, and cultural narrow-mindedness concerning Africa continue.

Krogstad Mambo from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein 2 Many thanks to the Elgin Symphony’s education committee for the idea to take this concert on a world tour! It was a unanimous choice: let’s sample orchestral music from the world’s seven continents. Choosing the repertoire for the concert was not as easy as we thought it might be during the conception of this program. How can we narrow down the large quantity of orchestral music from Europe, where the symphony orchestra originated? Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven would all be obvious choices. In a surprising twist we chose a composer from Poland, the home of the brilliant violinist and composer Henryk Wieniawski. We are thrilled to have young violinist Claire Arias-Kim as our soloist for Wieniawski’s Polonaise brilliante No. 2. What repertoire can we choose from the continents with musical traditions that don’t necessarily include traditional western orchestral instruments? What do we do about Antarctica? (We always try to program something that’s just pure fun.) For Africa, we felt it was important to demonstrate the drumming traditions and to highlight the expertise of one of our members, percussionist Michael Folker. It became a concert of interesting connections.

    Is Yearly Rainfall Amount a Good Predictor for Agriculture Viability In

    Is yearly rainfall amount a good predictor for agriculture viability in drylands? Modelling traditional cultivation practices of drought-resistant crops: an ethnographic approach for the study of long-term resilience and sustainability Abel Ruiz-Giralt1,2, Stefano Biagetti1,2,3, Marco Madella1,2,3,4, Carla Lancelotti1,2* 1 CaSEs Research Group, Department of Humanities, Universitat Popmeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain 2 Institución Milá y Fontanals, CSIC, Barcelona, Spain 3 School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies (GAES), University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa 4 ICREA, Barcelona, Spain * corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract FAO guidelines on water requirements for plant growth in the absence of irrigation, stipulate that cultivation is not viable in areas with less than 450mm of annual rainfall. Indeed, in all maps of agricultural land use, most hyper-arid, arid, and semi-arid drylands are considered unproductive. Yet, modern societies in arid and semi-arid drylands still practice rainfed cultivation under regimes of much lower annual rainfall. This paper presents the results of ethnographic and cross-cultural investigations in the cultivation of Pearl millet, Finger millet and Sorghum, with a global perspective. We use published ethnographic material and novel data collected on the field to build and test models that display the interaction of ecological and geographic variables in explaining agricultural practices. The aim of this research is to show how rainfed agriculture is practised much more often, and in much more suitable areas, than normally reported. This holds the potential for the understanding of how these practices can play a pivotal role for long-term resilience and future sustainability of agricultural systems in drylands.
  • A Truth and Reconciliation Commission Perspective

    A Truth and Reconciliation Commission Perspective

    Leadership for reconciliation: A Truth and Reconciliation Commission perspective P G J Meiring (University of Pretoria) ABSTRACT Leadership for reconciliation: A Truth and Reconciliation Commission perspective As important as the need for authentic leadership in the fields of politics, economy and education in Africa may be, the continent is also in dire need of leadership for reconciliation. Against the backdrop of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), the author – who served on the Commission – discusses five characteristics of leaders for reconciliation. Leaders need to be: leaders with a clear understanding of the issues at stake; leaders with respect for the truth; leaders with a sense of justice; leaders with a comprehension of the dynamics of forgiveness; and leaders with a firm commitment. The insights and experiences of both the chairperson of the TRC, Desmond Tutu, and the deputy chair, Alex Boraine, form the backbone of the article. 1 AFRICA, OH AFRICA, WHERE ARE YOUR LEADERS?” I will always remember that day. I was being driven through Nairobi in the company of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. It was in November 1994, and the PACLA II (Pan African Christian Leadership Assembly II) meeting was due to commence. Tutu, who was asked to be the keynote speaker, invited me, on our arrival at the airport, to accompany him for the rest of the day, meeting with church leaders and other luminaries in the Kenyan capital. It was when our driver, an official of one of the ecumenical bodies in Nairobi, was reporting on the difficulties they were facing, that the Archbishop leaned back in his seat, and with closed eyes murmured: “Africa, Oh, Africa, where are your leaders?” Tutu was not the first to raise the question.

    Coca-Cola La Historia Negra De Las Aguas Negras

    Coca-Cola La historia negra de las aguas negras Gustavo Castro Soto CIEPAC COCA-COLA LA HISTORIA NEGRA DE LAS AGUAS NEGRAS (Primera Parte) La Compañía Coca-Cola y algunos de sus directivos, desde tiempo atrás, han sido acusados de estar involucrados en evasión de impuestos, fraudes, asesinatos, torturas, amenazas y chantajes a trabajadores, sindicalistas, gobiernos y empresas. Se les ha acusado también de aliarse incluso con ejércitos y grupos paramilitares en Sudamérica. Amnistía Internacional y otras organizaciones de Derechos Humanos a nivel mundial han seguido de cerca estos casos. Desde hace más de 100 años la Compañía Coca-Cola incide sobre la realidad de los campesinos e indígenas cañeros ya sea comprando o dejando de comprar azúcar de caña con el fin de sustituir el dulce por alta fructuosa proveniente del maíz transgénico de los Estados Unidos. Sí, los refrescos de la marca Coca-Cola son transgénicos así como cualquier industria que usa alta fructuosa. ¿Se ha fijado usted en los ingredientes que se especifican en los empaques de los productos industrializados? La Coca-Cola también ha incidido en la vida de los productores de coca; es responsable también de la falta de agua en algunos lugares o de los cambios en las políticas públicas para privatizar el vital líquido o quedarse con los mantos freáticos. Incide en la economía de muchos países; en la industria del vidrio y del plástico y en otros componentes de su fórmula. Además de la economía y la política, ha incidido directamente en trastocar las culturas, desde Chamula en Chiapas hasta Japón o China, pasando por Rusia.

    TRUE/FALSE FILM FEST 2020 FEATURE FILMS 45365 | Dir. Bill & Turner Ross; 2009; 94 min (United States) Prod. Bil & Turner Ross It’s 69 degrees and sunny at the Shelby County Fair. Long-haul trucks whiz by, a solo trumpeter takes the stage, and downtown Sidney’s tree-lined main street disappears into the rearview mirror in a stunning opening sequence. Dazzling and earnest, this debut film by Bill and Turner Ross uses the sounds of public radio, marching bands, and police scanners to cleverly collapse time and space, taking us from the weekend weather to a live interview with the 4-H queen first runner-up. Here, in the heart of the Ohio valley, spotted horses prance in their stables, teenage boys race in junk derbies and local politicians canvass door-to-door for their reelections. Filmed over the course of nine months, the camera moves deftly between flirting, freak shows, and football, reminding us that the everyday is extraordinary and “it’s ​ ​ always fun to watch little kids run around with their hogs.” (JA) ​ ​ Aswang | Dir. Alyx Ayn Arumpac; 2019; 85 min (Philippines) Prod.

In her feature-length debut, Director Alyx Arympac sensitively approaches the trauma that has befallen her subjects: a journalist who fights the government’s lawlessness; a restrained coroner; a brave missionary’s brother who tries to comfort the bereaved families of the dead; and Jomari, who lives on the streets after his parents were jailed.
