Mozambique is a developing African country recuperating from a lengthy civil war. As a result, documenting the incidence of hearing loss has remained a low priority. This paper provides results from work being carried out by the Mozambique Audiology Program (MAP), which is a philanthropic effort established in 1997 to introduce audiology services and identify auditory disorders in the country. Some decades before the MAP, another program reported extremely high incidence rates of otitis...

When dealing with the question of Algerian a term which, by the way, is never used locally a basic contradiction will become apparent. National they were indeed, those new social categories (doctors, engineers, teachers, lawyers, and so on) that the presence created, either directly or indirectly, among the French or the Arab population. But they became na tionalistic, meaning that they sought to break completely with the power, only much later, when the guerilla warfare began in 1954....

Sometimes what is not in a text is more significant than what is. This paper examines a variety of texts to establish what is and is not present. The argument presented in this paper demonstrates that skewed perspectives, closed lenses, and distorted worldviews are powerful teachers. Appropriate perspectives and lenses can provide a worldview of complex and sophisticated thought, traditioned through memory, simultaneously stretching back into the past and drawing the past into the present...
