Written by 25 African educators from 15 African nations that make up the African Social Studies Programme (ASSP), a Pan-African organization headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, this document is designed to supplement the sparse material on Africa available in the K-12 curriculum and textbooks in the United States, and these 11 lessons encourage U.S. middle schools to explore, appreciate, and become aware of African culture. The topics of the lessons include: (1) diverse lifestyles; (2) cross-cultural understanding; (3) Ghanaian culture; (4) marriage customs in Liberia, Malawi, and Uganda; (5) Yoruba infant naming ceremonies; (6) cuisine and etiquette in Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Zambia; (7) Swazi culture; (8) family life in Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia; (9) education in Lesotho; (10) youth employment opportunities in Nigeria; and (11) African perspectives of the United States. Each lesson includes a preview, learning objectives, required resources, teaching procedures, and student activities and exercises. Handouts, drawings, a select bibliography, and lists of U.S. African studies centers, organizations, and publishers are also included. (DJC)

Broodryk exposes Ubuntu as a world view to order society, provides an interpretation of Ubuntu the way he was taught Ubuntu by African thinkers, politicians and ordinary members of communities in Africa."--Back cover.

This book asks how governments in Africa can use evidence to improve their policies and programmes, and ultimately, to achieve positive change for their citizens. Looking at different evidence sources across a range of contexts, the book brings policy makers and researchers together to uncover what does and doesn’t work and why. Case studies are drawn from five countries and the ECOWAS (west African) region, and a range of sectors from education, wildlife, sanitation, through to government procurement processes. The book is supported by a range of policy briefs and videos intended to be both practical and critically rigorous. It uses evidence sources such as evaluations, research synthesis and citizen engagement to show how these cases succeeded in informing policy and practice. The voices of policy makers are key to the book, ensuring that the examples deployed are useful to practitioners and researchers alike. This innovative book will be perfect for policy makers, practitioners in government and civil society, and researchers and academics with an interest in how evidence can be used to support policy making in Africa.

Child Care and Culture examines parenthood, infancy, and early childhood in an African community, revealing patterns unanticipated by current theories of child development and raising provocative questions about 'normal' child care in the human species. Comparing the Gusii people of Kenya, whose practices were intensively observed from the combined perspectives of social anthropology, pediatrics, and developmental psychology, with the American white middle class, the authors show how divergent cultural priorities create differing conditions for early childhood development.

Sambach brings together an ethnograhic study of a school and community in East Africa. Stambach focuses on the role school plays in the development of the children's identity and relationships to their parents and community, as well as in the development of the region. At issue here are the competing influences of Western modernity and the cultural traditions of East Africa-ideas about gender roles, sexuality, identity, and family and communal obligations are all at stake. Stambach looks at the controversial practice of female circumcision in the context of school and community teachings about girls' bodies and examines cultural signifiers like music, clothing and food to discuss the tensions in the region.
