Politics and Society in French-Speaking Africa
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the French theory and resultant attitude of a 'civilizing mission' in terms of its relationships with the nations of Africa. The ways in which such attitudes shaped the mindsets and identity of French-speaking African nations are as deeply imbedded as the ides of the British in the early American colonies. The entire concept of that 'civilizing mission' can be captured in the single statement: 'We have the heavy and lasting responsibility for this revolution.' Such a belief became a guiding principle upon which the European nations justified their subjugation of the people of Africa. No secondary sources.

Assessing the Folk Societies of New Guinea
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper addressing the changes that may have occurred in folk societies before they are discovered by anthropologists.

What remains unknown, aside from the stories of the people of the culture, is the history of the society and how it may have changed over the years, decades, or even centuries.

Evolution Away from the Folk Society in New Guinea
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the notion of progress as people in the New Guinea highlands continue to abandon many of their traditional roles while yet still keeping traditional tools. In times past, the 'Big Man' of the community was one to which the locals could place both their trust and their cash. He dealt in influence, and his currency was social favors. The concept of the Big Man is only one that remains with the rapid commercialization of the society, but it is indicative of the dilemma in which the people find themselves. In attempting to blend the old with the new, one must almost always make room for the other.No additional sources cited.

Kenya & Senegal / Tourism
[ send me this paper ]
A 17 page paper examining the various issues relating to tourism in the African areas of Kenya and Senegal. Each region is examined individually in relationship to their involvement in tourism.
