'Heart of Darkness' and 'An Image of Africa'
[ send me this report ]
3 pages in length. Authors Joseph Conrad and Chinua Achebe take us on emotional journeys into their works. The writer describes the talent with which these two authors transport us into their world. We read about the real people of Africa, their emotions and sometimes violent tendencies in their daily survival. These are books about real life; while the characters may be fictional, one infers from the emotions that drive both authors that most of these things have happened or could easily happen and are not simply fantasy. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

!Kung San: Cultural Change
[ send me this report ]
5 pages in length. Before the white man's social infiltration, the !Kung San were a nomadic people content to live their lives without any of the modern conveniences so readily associated with many parts of the world; in fact, there was little knowledge beyond their immediate villages as to what technological advancement actually meant. Theirs was a simple yet satisfying hunter/gatherer lifestyle perpetuated generation after generation with no external intrusion or forced cultural assimilation – until the white man arrived. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

“The Battle of Algiers” and “Bab Al-Sama Maftuh”
[ send me this report ]
This 5 page
report discusses two movies, “The Battle of Algiers” (1965) and
“Bab Al-Sama Maftuh” also known as “A Door to the Sky” (1989).
“The Battle of Algiers” is a powerful movie made all the more
powerful because it tells the story of actual events as it
presents an outline of the Algerian insurgence against French
colonial forces in the 1950s. “A Door to the Sky” tells the story
of a young woman, Nadia, who returns from Paris to the ancient
city Fez to be with her dying father. Each of the movies deal
with issues of independence as they are juxtaposed with issues of
culture and heritage. No bibliography.

"Dancing Skeletons": A Review of the Book by Catherine Dettwyler
[ send me this report ]
A 5 page review of the ethnographic account of fieldwork in medical anthropology. Working among malnourished children in West Africa Dettwyler experienced both professional and personal insight. Although sometimes criticized for her subjective approach to her subject, in reality Dettwyler provides both a a touching human account and a valuable ethnography. Her approach to death as "the ultimate illness", however, is one which is unfortunate. This paper points out that death is in fact a natural component of life. To view death as an ultimate illness is to regard death, a phase which we must all pass through, as a personal and medical failure. No additional sources are listed.

"Land Of A Thousand Hills: My Life In Rwanda" – Synopsis
[ send me this report ]
3 pages in length. To leave the lap of luxury founded upon status and money for a life filled with political strife and social corrosion is not a choice many people would make, however Rosamond Halsey Carr is not like most people. The New Jersey socialite, whose career in fashion design helped establish her as one of the city's most prominent citizens, tried to rekindle the long-dormant passion in her marriage by accompanying her husband and famous big game hunter, Kenneth Carr, back to where he left his heart: Africa. Having little idea what to expect and even less understanding of how this one decision would forever change her life, Halsey Carr stepped into an utterly foreign existence void of status, money and sometimes even the basics of survival in order to answer a calling from her own heart. Kenneth and Rosamond may never have found what it was they went in search of to restore their relationship, however, she found within herself what it was that haunted her since childhood.
