Guinea - Culture Overview The Republic of Guinea is located on the coast of West Africa, and its people have shared in the long, complex history of that region. By the 13th century, many local inhabitants had come under the influence of the Mali Empire, and as the Fula peoples migrated in from the north, they formed their own kingdom in the mountainous area of the country known as the Fouta Djallon. In spite of the stiff resistance put up by Guineans, France made the area an autonomous colony in the 1890s. Embittered by the Guinean desire for independence in 1958, the French withdrew all investment and any goods they could move. The hero of independence, Ahmed Sekou Toure, led the new nation into a political and economic isolation that preserved many cultural traditions, but at the expense of greater development. Since his death in 1984, people are more free to oppose the government but Guineans of different ethnic backgrounds have had difficulty sharing the national patrimony. Guinea has several distinct regions. Some 20% of the population live in the coastal areas of the Baga and Sousou peoples, who have been a dominant force in the government during the 1990s. In the Fouta Djallon another 40% of the people are the Fula who have always been underrepresented in national affairs. In Upper Guinea, the region of Sekou Toure, some 21% of the people are Malinke, descendents of the Mali Empire. The remaining peoples live in Forested Guinea in several such small groups as the Kissi, Kono, Guerze, and Toma. There is also a small Lebanese population in the cities and several thousand refugees from the conflicts of neighboring countries. French is the official language, taught in the schools since the 1980s, but over 100 local languages are spoken. The vast majority of Guineans are Muslims. There are a handful of Christians in and around the capital, and most of the people in the forested southeast follow animist religions.

North Africa in Antiquity This theme explores the history and people of North Africa from the earliest times to the arrival of the Muslim Arabs. ReadingBrett: pp. 10-80 Laroui: pp. 15-79 The following is largely based on Brett and Fentress The Berber origins and the early formations of cities and kingdoms demonstrate a problem common in newly formed states, the need for a clear principle of succession. Major problems arise because of the lack of a method of succession and it proves to be their downfall. The attempts to Romanize North Africa though very influential on the culture, eventually fail and after being governed by Carthaginian, Roman, Vandal and then Byzantine governments, a reversion to the indigenous tribal structures takes place. The Origins of the Berbers lies in the Capsian stone industries of the eastern Maghreb or modern southern Tunisia. The Wet period after 7000 BCE allowed for this area to be inhabited by a population composed of various racial elements. The increase in productivity of the land allowed for population growth and a subsequent western expansion. Berber languages are all strikingly similar, suggesting a uniform movement of peoples in a relatively short period of time. Around 3000 BCE contacts with the Mediterranean islands begin and by 1000 BCE North Africa is not very different from the rest of the Western Mediterranean. Most communities were farmers with a strong pastoral element in their economy and fairly elaborate cemeteries. By this time Berber languages were established throughout North Africa but there's no evidence of how this took place. The population at this time is a range of Mediterranean types.

HOME PAGE: THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE MENTAWAI ISLANDS BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCES FOR THE MENTAWAI ISLANDS List of Documentary Sources This is a basic list of articles and books, both published works and unpublished manuscripts having the Mentawai islands as their focus, or engaging with them in some capacity. It should be noted that many of these sources can be classified as "popular" literature insofar as they are not written from any identifiable disciplinary outlook in the humanities or social sciences. Much of their content, therefore, is based upon impressions gained by their respective authors in the course of visits of short duration often resulting in superficial "snapshots" of aspects of the societies and cultures at various locations across the islands. This needs to be kept in mind when consulting any of these sources. An exception to this is perhaps the accounts of the early missionaries and colonial officials whose accounts stem from interactions with various local populations that are both qualitative and often extend over long periods of time; these accounts, therefore, contain much useful and interesting information. There also exists a good range of sources dealing with primates. However, these are not included here at this stage (December 2002). The items appearing in this list cover most of the published sources up until the early 1990s, nevertheless it is certain that some unpublished documents have been overlooked. I should also note that many such items have come into existence during the 1990s and are not listed here. Hence this list should be regarded as provisional and merely a place to start a detailed literary exploration of the islands.

In the Presence of Spirits This exhibition examines an impressive group of over 140 objects that reflect the influences of the supernatural world in both public and private life throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The exhibition is organized according to both geography and the numerous cultural groups represented in the National Museum of Ethnology's collection. In the Presence of Spirits features objects that derive mainly, although not exclusively, from those areas where the Portuguese were present, such as Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. A group of important artworks from western, central and southern Africa complements this selection. These artifacts demonstrate the rich variety and sculptural inventiveness of the cultures indigenous to these regions and provide insight into many of their spiritual practices. Highlights of the exhibition include figures, decorated stools and chairs, pipes, masks, staffs and dolls used by kings, queens, chiefs, priests, priestesses and diviners to summon spiritual forces. Major themes include an examination of prestige objects and power figures, initiation and funerary rituals, and symbols of spiritual and secular authority.

An On-Site Study of GUINEA and CONAKRY its Capital Back to Africa Missions Research and Strategy Page Africa Missions Main Page August 1995 Research Team: Eric Guild James Scudder Richard Chowning Purpose : study to the city of Conakry in order to evaluate its potential and need for church growth. Objectives: 1. Get a general understanding of the social make up of the city. 2. Interview all mission agencies and denominations to understand what they have done and how they view the Christian movement in Conakry and Guinea as a whole. 3. Test for receptivity. 4. Collect contact information. 5. Understand the present and historical church growth situation. 6. Ascertain logistical and living condition variables. 7. Make recommendation. 8. Get an overview of Guinea. An overview of Guinea Introduction Guinea is one of the most unreached countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The high percentage of Muslims and the persecution by a former regime made it a difficult field for church growth from 1960s through the 1980s. "Guinea understandably still has some of the worst church/mission statistics in West Africa" (Vanderaa, 1991). Guinea has not been a priority country for most missions, but a reevaluation is in order. There was a time in when the current President, Conte, wanted Guinea to be Muslim country. He is now very cooperative with Christians. His second wife is a Christian. Population Weather As much as one hundred and twenty inches of rain can fall in Conakry in one season. It rained every day we were in the country. It was humid. The Monsoon season does not wash away top soil or other valuable substances from the land. Conakry is built on a field of iron ore.

This is done partly to enable the outsider to comprehend the diversity of styles and traditions within the region, while recognizing that there are themes common to all of the areas. Western Sudan This is the name conventionally given to the savanna region of West Africa. It is an area dominated by Islamic states situated at the southern ends of the trans-Saharan trade routes. The sculpture here is characterized by schematic styles of representation. Some commentators have interpreted these styles as an accommodation to the Islamic domination of the area, but this is probably not an adequate explanation since Islam in West Africa has either merely tolerated or actually destroyed such traditions while exerting other influences. Among the better-known sculptural traditions of the western Sudan are those of the following peoples.

Some suggest that Guinea might be derived from the ancient Niger River Basin trading center, Djenne. More likely it derives, through Portuguese usage, from the Berber Akal-n-Iguinawen (land of the blacks). Yet another possibility is that it comes from the word geenay, meaning “women” among the coastal Soussou, and that somehow this name came to be applied to a widespread area of the African Coast. GEOGR APHY Climatically all of Guinea shares two alternating seasons: a dry season (November to March) and a wet season (April to October). Rainfall varies from region to region with as much as 170 inches per year at Conakry on the coast to less than sixty inches a year in Upper Guinea. The rainfall in Middle Guinea ranges from 63 to 91 inches per year while some areas in the Forest Region have more than 100 inches of rain per year. Temperature ranges also vary according to the different regions. On the coast and in the Forest Region the temperature ranges around an average of 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The Fouta highland of Middle Guinea may experience January daytime temperatures of 86 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit while nighttime temperatures may dip below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Mid-day highs of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit are not uncommon in Upper Guinea during the dry season.

A Guide to the Jembe Eric Charry An unedited expanded version of the article published in Percussive Notes , vol. 34, no. 2, April 1996, pages 66-72. Portions reprinted by permission of the Percussive Arts Society. Send a comment Last updated 14 October 2000. For more on this and related musical traditions see Mande Music The jembe (spelled djembe in French writing) is on the verge of achieving world status as a percussion instrument, rivaled in popularity perhaps only by the conga and steel pan. It first made an impact outside West Africa in the 1950s due to the world tours of Les Ballets Africains led by the Guinean Fodeba Keita. In the few decades succeeding this initial exposure the jembe was known internationally only to a small coterie of musicians and devotees of African music and dance. In the U.S. interest in the jembe centered around Ladji Camara, a member of Les Ballets Africains in the 1950s, who since the 1960s has trained a generation of American players. Worldwide, a mere handful of LP recordings were released up to the mid-1980s, most containing just a few selections of jembe playing.
