Materials are identified that can be used by precollegiate teachers of all subject areas. This handbook is arranged by grade levels--preschool to grade three, grades 4-6, and grades 7-12. Within each section materials are divided by geographic region and listed alphabetically according to ti:.eir instructional formats. The region divisions include Africa (general), Western, Eastern/Central, and Southern. Types of materials include multimedia, books, filmstrips and slides, records and tapes, maps and transparencies, duplicating masters, and pictures and charts. Entries include title, price, publisher and description. A list of publishers and distributors is included for ordering materials. The handbook concludes with tvo evaluation forms which may assist teachers in selecting materials on the basis of their cross-cultural value and for purposes of general assessments.

This omission has implicationsfor virtually every subject area. The need for fresh understandingon Africa, The Dark Continent is as urgent as any part of the world. The very term Dark exposesour ignorance and its attendant prejudices. In a recent survey conducted by UCLA's African Studies Centeramong elementary students in the Southern California area. the results indicatedan urgent need for accurate instruction materials. Amongsome of the questions answered in the survey, 93% said that Africa wasa country, 97% thought it was entirely jungle. and 100% thought Africa was alwaysvery hot: that it was in- habited totally by blacks: that it was filled with wild animals; andthat it was smaller than the United States. However, while the United States is a very large country. Africa isa very large continent. It is. in fact. three and one-half times the size ofthe U.S. and \ has a population of two hundred fifty million (250,000.000) and has over eight hundred (800) different groups of people basedon language, together with different 'dialects belonging to each of these languages. Through the Center's outreach program we have attempted todemonstrate the special situation of Africa and thus produce a better, more tolerant under- standing of the continent. We are often asked where teacherscan find materials that will assist them in developing units and courses for theirstu- dents. In some instances we were able to become directly involved in materials being prepared such as our multi-media kit on African cultureand art and in other instances we were able to indicate where a teacher might seek further assistance from our existing available resources. The African Studies Center in cooperation with the Curriculum Inquiry Center and the Graduate School of Education have embarkedon a pr. lent to assist teachers at the pre-collegiate level in the study of African history. society and culture. A first step has been the identification of current materials organized by grade level, region and format. We have attemptedto provide to the classroom teacher a comprehensive bibliography of instructional materials for the study of Africa. Previous studies in the Los Angeles area indicated that many teachers felt motivated to offer units on Africa, but were not aware of the extent and sources of materials on the subject The materials which are listed below may serve to augment or replace materials already in use by teachers. The attempt has been made to be as inclusive as possible with regardto both grade level and type of instructional material. Educational publishing in- formation on file at the Curriculum Inquiry Center in the Graduate School of Education at UCLA was extensively surveyed for materials directly relatedto the study of Africa at the precollegiate level. Those materials selectedwere ar- ranged by grade level appropriateness, region of Africa included in the unit, and instructional format. If a brief description of the unit was included in the publisher's statement then it also appears (in edited form) in the bibliography. It is important to stress the fact that it was not possible to evaluatethe numerous items listed. The second stage of the Africa project will be to builda collection of African instuctional materials in the Curriculum Inquiry Center and begina systematic evaluation in cooperation with the Graduate School of Education. Two model evaluation forms have been appended which may assist the teacher in the task of materiat3 evaluation. The "Materials Assessment Sneet" will allow the User to form some judgment as to the quality of the cross-cultural oontent of the materials. Usert are encouraged first to attempt to receive the materials on an approval bases and then to apply some evaluation, guidelines before purchasing. Some students at the upper secondary level may be able to work with more advanced materials usually 'required at the college level. These materials have not been listed in this bibliography.
