Draft, all comments most welcome Jerome Lewis, London School of Economics, London, WC2A 2AE. Email: Jerome@jinlewis.freeserve.co.uk Introduction With a focus on the Mbendjele Yaka Pygmies in Northern Congo-Brazzaville, this paper will describe locally constructed ethnic stereotypes shared between hunter-gatherer groups with different languages that contrast them to non-hunter-gatherer groups in the region. The stereotypes non-hunter-gatherers hold of the hunter-gatherers will also be presented and analysed within the context of their interaction, and the discrimination faced by the hunter-gatherers. Despite different languages, economies and lifestyles there exists regular interaction between hunter-gatherers and non-hunter-gatherers. This paper will seek to show how both groups use ethnic stereotypes in different ways to structure strategies for engaging with, and expectations of behaviour from, the other group. The Mbendjele and other Yaka People The Mbendjele Yaka Pygmies are hunter-gatherers in the Ndoki forest between the Sangha and Oubangui Rivers in northern Congo-Brazzaville and some parts of southwestern Central African Republic. The Mbendjeles neighbours include other hunter-gatherer groups, such as the Baka, Mikaya and Luma, as well as numerous agriculturalist Bantu and Ubangian language speaking groups.

Extractions: News April 2002 "War raging" Around Southern Oil-Fields Serious military engagements are occurring between government of Sudan forces and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) in western Upper Nile (or Unity/Wahdah State) and northern Bahr al-Ghazal, in the south of the country, according to humanitarian sources. Sudan Old habits Die Hard If the recent political goings-on in Khartoum are any guide, then the country's ruling Islamic generals have resumed their commitment to the international Islamic movement by offering to set up camps to train Sudanese Islamic fighters and other international brigades to fight a Jihad (holy war) in the Middle East. UN Narrowly Adopts Human Rights Resolution The resolution expressed deep concern at the negative role of undisciplined militias armed by the Sudanese government and of the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), the use of children as soldiers, forced displacement, arbitrary detention, torture, and summary and arbitrary executions.

Extractions: John P. McCarthy, Editor Message from the Editor I have several items to bring to your attention at this time: 2) Subscription Renewals Far too many of you have not renewed your subscription for 1999. Not to put too fine a point on it, but the newsletter is in rather dire financial shape. Please check your label - if says "98" after your name, this is your last newsletter unless you pay your 1999 fee. I also encourage everyone to renew for 2000 as soon as possible see the next item. 4) Compilation Volume - A bound compilation of issues 1-25 of A-A A is in production for a January roll-out. In addition to copies of the first 25 issues of the newsletter, the compilation will include several specially commissioned essays and an index to major articles. I anticipate that the volume will sell for approximately $25.00. Stay tuned for more details as this project develops. 5) Contributions - We are always looking for substantive contributions to A-A A. Please consider the newsletter as your direct pipeline to the community of scholars with whom you most want to share the results of your work, "float trial balloons," etc.

Extractions: Bibliography Victor Turner's superb ethnography, his virtuoso symbolic analysis, and innovative theoretical developments, have inspired thought-provoking perspectives in the approach to ritual action and social drama in many areas of cultural analysis, whether it be anthropology, the history of religion, literature, or theatre (cf Ashley 1990; Deflem 1991; Moore and Reynolds 1984). That we are capable of engaging in an intergenerational dialogue, or trialogue-to paraphrase James Clifford (1988)-and of comparing our own field data to his own, is a tribute to Turner the ethnographer, and bears witness to the solidness of his Ndembu data. This study deals with the Ndembu of northern Zambia, and the neighbouring Luunda and Yaka of the Kwaango in southwestern Zaire. Ndembu and Yaka peoples owe a great deal of their ritual institutions to the Luunda. About three centuries ago, Luunda groups left the Ruund nucleus in what is now the Zairean province of Shaba, and started to migrate westwards: some settled in the Upper-Kwaango, while others migrated further northwards to impose centralising political institutions onto Yaka people. The Ndembu issue from a southern migration wave out of the same Ruund core. Drawing upon our respective field research among Luunda and Yaka, we will present a critical evaluation of Turner's views on Ndembu ritual from a comparative perspective. We will focus on his approach to Ndembu basket divination

Extractions: STRUGGLING TOWARDS LITERACY IN WAR-TORN ETHIOPIA Introduction: Problems for world adult literacy Nontraditional approaches: Inviting dialogue New interpretations of the Freireian Participatory model during the last decade have focused less on primers and more on customized literacy "kits" tailored to individual communities' situations (Marshall, 1991; Richmond, 1986; Hesser, 1988). Many researchers stress the importance of post-primer literacy continuity and provision of opportunity to practice literacy in local workplace situations or local health and agriculture-based initiatives (Arrien, 1990; Wagner, 1993). Studies in Literacy in Tigray: The effects of war As soon as the civil war with all its desolation and loss ended in 1992, literacy became one of the first and most urgent items on the peacetime agenda in Tigray. Tigrayans, highly motivated and hardworking people, were and are eager to restore planned progress to their devastated countryside and decimated population. The tithing of paltry salaries is common practice in the post-war rehabilitation effort. However, severe limitations of manpower and resources, and constraints on mobility, time and communications in the early post-war years resulted in a sadly familiar narrative: isolation and lack of contact with literacy projects in other areas and other countries; recycled and uncoordinated curricula, methods and materials; underqualiAeo literacy trainers and trainer instructors; under enrollment of rural women; inadequate and out-dated training and evaluation procedures; inattention to emergent- and post-literacy needs in Tigrinya; lack of intersectoral collaboration; and literacy as a tool for government propaganda. The consequence once more was high learner attrition (Abebe, 1994).
