Download or read book Introduction to Mali written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mali is a landlocked country in West Africa, bordered by Niger to the east, Burkina Faso to the south-east, Côte d'Ivoire to the south, Guinea to the south-west, Senegal to the west, and Mauritania to the north and north-west. The country has a rich cultural history, with evidence of human settlement as far back as 10,000 BC. From the ancient Malian Empire of the 13th and 14th centuries to the present-day challenges of political instability, Mali has experienced significant changes over time. Today, Mali remains one of the least developed countries in the world, with high poverty rates, food insecurity, and limited access to education and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Mali is rich in natural resources, including gold, and has potential for economic growth and development. As a former French colony, French is the official language of Mali, but many people also speak the regional languages of Bambara, Songhai, and Tamashek. Islam is the dominant religion in Mali, though there are also significant Christian and traditional animist populations. Mali is home to several important cultural sites, including the ancient city of Timbuktu and the Dogon people, known for their unique architecture and spiritual practices. Mali also has a strong tradition of music and dance, with the griot tradition of oral storytelling and praise singing being an important part of the country's cultural heritage.

Download or read book Senegal Abroad written by Maya Angela Smith and published by University of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senegal Abroad explores the fascinating role of language in national, transnational, postcolonial, racial, and migrant identities. Capturing the experiences of Senegalese in Paris, Rome, and New York, it depicts how they make sense of who they are—and how they fit into their communities, countries, and the larger global Senegalese diaspora. Drawing on extensive interviews with a wide range of emigrants as well as people of Senegalese heritage, Maya Angela Smith contends that they shape their identity as they purposefully switch between languages and structure their discourse. The Senegalese are notable, Smith suggests, both in their capacity for movement and in their multifaceted approach to language. She finds that, although the emigrants she interviews express complicated relationships to the multiple languages they speak and the places they inhabit, they also convey pleasure in both travel and language. Offering a mix of poignant, funny, reflexive, introspective, and witty stories, they blur the lines between the utility and pleasure of language, allowing a more nuanced understanding of why and how Senegalese move.
