"Translation and the Colonial Imaginary: Ibn Khaldun Orientalist", by Abdelmajid Hannoum © 2003 Wesleyan University. www.jstor.org "Despite the increasing interest in translation in the last two decades, there has been no investigation of the translation of historiography and its transformation from one language to another. This article takes as a case study the translation into French of Ibn Khaldûn, the fourteenth-century North African historian. It considers specifically the translation done by William de Slane in the context of the colonization of Algeria. The Histoire des Berbères, the French narrative of Ibn Khaldûn that relates to the history of Arabs and Berbers in the Maghreb, has become since then the source of French knowledge of North Africa. It is upon that French narrative that colonial and post-colonial historians have constructed their knowledge of North Africa, of Arabs, and of Berbers. The article shows how a portion of the ...

Shaykh Hassan Cisse (1945-2008) was the preeminent spokesmen of the Tariqa Tijaniyya in recent times. He was an accomplished Islamic scholar, emerging from a long and vibrant legacy of Islamic learning in West Africa. The grandson and spiritual heir of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse, he was designated by Shaykh Ibrahim as Imam of the Jamaat Nasr al-Ilm (Community of Helping Knowledge), the followers of Shaykh Ibrahim who are historically the largest single Muslim movement in twentieth-century West Africa. Shaykh Hassan was a consummate scholar and spiritual guide. He received a complete training in the traditional Islamic sciences: the Quran and its exegesis (tafsir), Prophetic traditions (hadith) and history (seerah), jurisprudence and its sources (fiqh and usul), literature (adab), poetry, grammar and Sufism (tasawwuf ). After memorizing the Quran at a young age in Mauritania, he was educated mostly in Senegal under the personal supervision of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse, who had gathered in Kaolack, Senegal, some of the most renowned scholars from Senegal, Mauritania, Nigeria, and beyond. These included Shaykh Hassans own father, Sidi Ali Cisse, and his mother, Sayyida Fatima Zahra Niasse. The Cisse lineage, originally Mande speakers, is one of the most ancient scholarly groups in West Africa, tracing its conversion to Islam back 1000 years to Kumbe Saleh, one of the great cities of West Africas proud history. In many places in West Africa, Cisse used to be simply synonymous with ...

Name The term "Romance" comes from the Vulgar Latin adverb romanice, derived from Romanicus: for instance, in the expression romanice loqui, "to speak in Roman" (that is, the Latin vernacular), contrasted with latine loqui, "to speak in Latin" (Medieval Latin, the conservative version of the language used in writing and formal contexts or as a lingua franca), and with barbarice loqui, "to speak in Barbarian" (the non-Latin languages of the peoples that conquered the Roman Empire).[1] From this adverb the noun romance originated, which applied initially to anything written romanice, or "in the Roman vernacular". The word romance with the modern sense of romance novel or love affair has the same origin. In the medieval literature of Western Europe, serious writing was usually in Latin, while popular tales, often focusing on love, were composed in the vernacular and came to be called "romances".

The Dogon are an ethnic group located mainly in the administrative districts of Bandiagara and Douentza in Mali, West Africa. The precise origin of the Dogon, like those of many other ancient cultures, is undetermined. Their civilization emerged, in much the same manner as ancient Sumer, both sharing tales of their creation by gods who came from the sky in space ships, who allegedly will return one day. The early histories are informed by oral traditions that differ according to the Dogon clan being consulted and archaeological excavation much more of which needs to be conducted. Because of these inexact and incomplete sources, there are a number of different versions of the Dogon's origin myths as well as differing accounts of how they got from their ancestral homelands to the Bandiagara region. The people call themselves 'Dogon' or 'Dogom', but in the older literature they are most often called 'Habe', a Fulbe word meaning 'stranger' or 'pagan'. Certain theories suggest the tribe to be of ancient Egyptian descent - the Dogon next migrating to the region now called Libya, then moving on to somewhere in the regions of Guinea or Mauritania. Around 1490 AD, fleeing invaders and/or drought, they migrated to the Bandiagara cliffs of central Mali. Carbon-14 dating techniques used on excavated remains found in the cliffs indicate that there were inhabitants in the region before the arrival of the Dogon. They were the Toloy culture of the 3rd to 2nd centuries BC, and the Tellem ...

Άννωνος Περίπλους, έκδοση Μουχάμαντ Σαμσαντίν Μεγαλομμάτη The Periplus of Hanno, King of the Carthaginians, and explorations of West Africa before 2450 years Online edition: community.webshots.com Published in Greek, in 1991 (STOHASTIS Publishing House, Athens - Greece), 112 p., the book consists in a historical presentation of the brief Carthaginian text that has not been saved in its original, but in an Ancient Greek translation. The text is very small, 656 words altogether, but the author made of it an entire book. It is noteworthy that with this text starts the History of Morocco and the Western Coast of Africa down to Sierra Leone, which was the furthermost point reached by the maritime expedition of King Hanno, and described by the Carthaginian royal scribes. Through further epigraphic evidence, we have been able to date King Hanno at the middle of the 5th century BCE. Consequently, the Periplus (circumnavigation) of Hanno consists in the oldest historical reference to Western Africa in the World Literature. The book starts with a Preface about the ancient travelers and navigators; in that part the author describes how people perceived the World in the Antiquity, how they conceived the Earth as flat surface, usually mythologized at its confines, and what meant for the Mediterranean navigators the eventuality of a faraway trip.

It is slightly more than 4000 square kilometres (1500 sq mi) in area with an estimated population of over 500000. The capital of Cape Verde is Praia.

Christians are denied jobs, higher education, and treated like second class citizens. One such country is Pakistan where Muslims make up 96% of the population. In Saudi Arabia, Christians are harrassed and sometimes arrested. An average of 3 Christians are killed every day in India. Please remember the persecuted church, and to pray for them.

These distortions of history are dangerous and will only lead to more problems as time goes on Every trifling issue must be addressed as it pertains to racist historiography. It all must be addressed and be known to the public and it must be done now! I plead to everyone with relevant knowledge to leave comments and share information, anything to aid in further research especially as it pertains to mistranslations of ancient literature. What is wrong with people? Why are people not addressing these issues? I've been expecting people to get involved and help. Why are people not addressing these issues? MA Shaban on the Zanj revolt: books.google.com "All the talk about slaves rising against the wretched conditions of work in the salt marshes of Basra is a figment of the imagination and has no support in the sources.....The vast majority of the rebels were Arabs of the Persian Gulf supported by free East Africans who had made their homes in the region..... (continued page 102)...If more proof is needed that it was not a slave revolt, it is to be found in the fact that it had a highly organized army and navy which vigorously resisted the whole weight of the central government for almost fifteen years. Moreover, it must have had huge resources that allowed it to build no less than six impregnable towns in which there were arsenals for the manufacture of weapons and battleships. These towns also had in their mammoth markets prodigious wealth which was more than the salt marshes ...

Raphael Lemkin born on June 24, 1900 was a Polish lawyer of Jewish descent. Before World War II, Lemkin studied the Armenian Genocide in depth and campaigned in the League of Nations to ban what he called "barbarity" and "vandalism". He is best known for his work against genocide, a word he coined in 1943 from the root words genos (Greek for family, tribe or race) and -cide (Latin for killing). He first used the word in print in Axis Rule in Occupied Europe: Laws of Occupation - Analysis of Government - Proposals for Redress (1944). Lemkin was born Rafał Lemkin in the village of Bezwodne in Imperial Russia, now the Vawkavysk district of Belarus. Not much is known of Lemkin's early life. He grew up in a Jewish family and was one of three children born to Joseph and Bella (Pomerantz) Lemkin. His father was a farmer and his mother a highly intellectual woman who was a painter, linguist, and philosophy student with a large collection of books on literature and history. With his mother as an influence, Lemkin mastered ten languages by the age of 14, including French, Spanish, Hebrew, Yiddish, and Russian. * Bangladesh * Bhutan * Brunei * Cambodia * China * India * Indonesia * Republic of Korea * Laos * Malaysia * Maldives * Mongolia * Myanmar * Nepal * North Korea * Pakistan * Philippines * Singapore * Sri Lanka * Thailand * Timor-Leste * Viet Nam * Taiwan * ACD * APEC * ASEAN * ASEM * EAS * ESCAP * SAARC * Other Issues Pacific * Australia * Fiji * Kiribati * Marshall ...
