Richards further asserts that culture is amazingly resilient. In spite of the most culturally destructive forces in history, it has not disappeared (p. 229). Indeed, Africans and their culture are a pervasive force throughout the world. Diaspora, a term most often attributed to the Jewish people and the Jewish community outside of Palestine, also refers to the dispersion of African descent peoples throughout the world. The African Diaspora is readily apparent in North, South, and Central...

The magnitude (M S )-6.2 earthquake that struck northwestern Guinea in late 1983 (Figure 1) killed nearly 300 people,sinjured about 1,500, destroyed more than 5,000 houses, and left some 18,000 people homeless. It serves as a recent example of the infrequent but oftentimes destructive nature of moderate to large earthquakes that occur in apparently aseismic to low-seismicity intraplate regions such as West Africa. These examples remind us of our vulnerability to natural hazards and particularly to uncommon events of this type.

Subjects consisted of 93 Ibo-English bilingual undergraduate students and 95 Yoruba-English bilingual undergraduate students, all majoring in Education. Findings, in large part, confirmed significant...

The way in which one chooses to identify and define a problem determines both the nature as well as the perceived efficacy of the solutions to that problem. In urban America the problem of disparity in achievement between minority and nonminority students is disturbing. Moreover, when the data are disaggregated by race and sex, the gravity of the problem tends to escalate. For urban minorities in general the educational system is, at best, loosely knit; yet, for African American males in...
