FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The month of March marks the annual changing of the guard at the ASA The Board will be interviewing and selecting a new Executive Director and the membership will be electing new leadership to lead the organization into the 21st Century This annual ritual of renewal and change has allowed the ltrganization to continue its dominance as the premier Association of Africanist scholars in the world with a membership that is the largest it has ever been Through your efforts we now have a degree of financial independence because of our modest endowment We can publish articles and books that are intellectually significant as well as politically important It is appropriate that we reflect on the importance of your role as members in this process It means that you as members of the ASA have to be actively engaged in the process of choosing new leadership You have to recognize that you do have a voice and this is the time to speak loudly and clearly to the leadership of the Association As the issues on the African continent continue to mount we need the ASA to continue as a leader in educating the world about the issues in Africa and providing the scholarly information that allows us to also transfer educational institutions that need this information so desperately I encourage all of you to be activists and vote
As the Acting Executive Director of the ASA this may be my frrst and last opportunity to speak to the membership In December I was asked to accept the challenge of leading the ASA during this period of transition It was an honor to be able to return to my intellectual roots in African history I returned as an African historian with over 15 years of academic administrative experiences willing to use these talents in whatever way would serve the organization best I have truly come full circle I want to thank the Board for its confidence the ASA staff fltr its support and the membership for this important opportunity to represent you What I have learned is that this is still the most important ltrganization of Africanist scholars throughout the world The ASA continues to foster greater scholarship on Africa more dialogue among scholars and their communities and greater exposure of Africa within the US and the wltrld It also needs you to continue to support the efforts of the Association fmancially and intellectually The ASA is only as strong as the membership that supports it As we near the completion of the Executive Directors search the Association will enter a new era and my hope is that the organization will be even stronger and more vibrant A Lota Continua Lazima Tushinda Mbilishaka (The struggle continues and without a doubt we will succeed)

Resolution on National Institution of Studies and Research of Guinea Bissau
Given recent reports indicating that the fighting which has erupted on June 7 1998 has caused considerable devastation including the deaths and displacement of large numbers of people and given further reports that the National Institute of Studies of Research of Guinea-Bissau (INEP) the largest and most active research institution has suffered extreme damage some of which has resulted from the transformation of the premises into barracks by Senegalese troops
and given that the effects of the fighting have included the destruction of much of the previous holdings of INEP including its archives and library photographs films all of which have recorded the history of Guinea-Bissau and which are virtually irreplaceable
Be it resolved that the African Studies Association expresses its outrage over this destruction of the holdings of INEP and appeals to the Senegalese and Guinea- Bissauan authorities to condemn the unfortunate assault on Guinea-Bissaus cultural history to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for these acts and to restore as much of the holdings of INEP as can be done

Jean Blackwell Hutson 1914-1998
David L Easterbrook Northwestern University
1997-98 Chair Africana Librarians Council
The Africana Librarians Council (ALC) remembers with great fondness Jean Blackwell Hutson a regular participant in the work of the ALC and member of the ASA for many years
Jean Hutson attended her first ALC meeting in 1959 and her participation in ALC activities continued until retirement In addition to her contributions to the ongoing work of the ALC Jean Huston is remembered by generations of researchers at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for the collections she built and the assistance she offered in their use
A graduate of Barnard College (1935) and Columbia University Graduate School of Library Service (1936) Jean Hutsons career was devoted to the New York City Public Library System From 1948 until 1980 she was first curator and then chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture She retired from the New York Public Library in 1984 During her tenure the collections at the Schomburg Center grew and its status as a major resource for research on Black history and culture became more widely known Her focus on providing an adequate facility for the collections resulted in the 1981 opening of a new building that included space not only for the Schomburg Centers collections but also for research exhibitions and programming Kwame Nkrumah who had met Jean Hutson when he used the resources of the Schomburg Center invited her to Ghana in 1964-65 to assist in the development of the African Collection at the University of Ghana She established collection policies at the Balme Library that included materials about the diaspora as well as African studies She remained professionally active during her retirement For example she served on the Task Force
on Library and Information Services to Cultural Minorities of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science in the 1980s
Publications during her retirement include a chapter on the Schomburg Center in Black Bibliophiles and Collectors Preservers of Black History (Washington Howard University Press 1990) The professional contributions of Jean Blackwell Hutson are discussed in detail in Glendora Johnson-Coopers African American Historical Continuity Jean Blackwell Hutson and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Reclaiming the American Library Past Writing the Women In edited by Suzanne Hildenbrand (Norwood Ablex 1996) 27-51
In her statement accompanying her portrait in Brian Lankers I Dream a World Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (New York Stewart Tabori and Chang 1989) Jean Hutson reflected on the Schomburg Center One of the main things the Schomburg does is supply the ammunition for change It is a part of the public library open to everybody everywhere You dont have to be registered at the university to have access to the materials The catalog is available all around the world That has been and continues to be the opportunity that the Schomburg offers

For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The month of March marks the annual changing of the guard at the ASA The Board will be interviewing and selecting a new Executive Director and the membership will be electing new leadership to lead the organization into the 21st Century This annual ritual of renewal and change has allowed the ltrganization to continue its dominance as the premier Association of Africanist scholars in the world with a membership that is the largest it has ever been Through your efforts we now have a degree of financial independence because of our modest endowment We can publish articles and books that are intellectually significant as well as politically important It is appropriate that we reflect on the importance of your role as members in this process It means that you as members of the ASA have to be actively engaged in the process of choosing new leadership You have to recognize that you do have a voice and this is the time to speak loudly and clearly to the leadership of the Association As the issues on the African continent continue to mount we need the ASA to continue as a leader in educating the world about the issues in Africa and providing the scholarly information that allows us to also transfer educational institutions that need this information so desperately I encourage all of you to be activists and vote
As the Acting Executive Director of the ASA this may be my frrst and last opportunity to speak to the membership In December I was asked to accept the challenge of leading the ASA during this period of transition It was an honor to be able to return to my intellectual roots in African history I returned as an African historian with over 15 years of academic administrative experiences willing to use these talents in whatever way would serve the organization best I have truly come full circle I want to thank the Board for its confidence the ASA staff fltr its support and the membership for this important opportunity to represent you What I have learned is that this is still the most important ltrganization of Africanist scholars throughout the world The ASA continues to foster greater scholarship on Africa more dialogue among scholars and their communities and greater exposure of Africa within the US and the wltrld It also needs you to continue to support the efforts of the Association fmancially and intellectually The ASA is only as strong as the membership that supports it As we near the completion of the Executive Directors search the Association will enter a new era and my hope is that the organization will be even stronger and more vibrant A Lota Continua Lazima Tushinda Mbilishaka (The struggle continues and without a doubt we will succeed)

Resolution on National Institution of Studies and Research of Guinea Bissau
Given recent reports indicating that the fighting which has erupted on June 7 1998 has caused considerable devastation including the deaths and displacement of large numbers of people and given further reports that the National Institute of Studies of Research of Guinea-Bissau (INEP) the largest and most active research institution has suffered extreme damage some of which has resulted from the transformation of the premises into barracks by Senegalese troops
and given that the effects of the fighting have included the destruction of much of the previous holdings of INEP including its archives and library photographs films all of which have recorded the history of Guinea-Bissau and which are virtually irreplaceable
Be it resolved that the African Studies Association expresses its outrage over this destruction of the holdings of INEP and appeals to the Senegalese and Guinea- Bissauan authorities to condemn the unfortunate assault on Guinea-Bissaus cultural history to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for these acts and to restore as much of the holdings of INEP as can be done

Jean Blackwell Hutson 1914-1998
David L Easterbrook Northwestern University
1997-98 Chair Africana Librarians Council
The Africana Librarians Council (ALC) remembers with great fondness Jean Blackwell Hutson a regular participant in the work of the ALC and member of the ASA for many years
Jean Hutson attended her first ALC meeting in 1959 and her participation in ALC activities continued until retirement In addition to her contributions to the ongoing work of the ALC Jean Huston is remembered by generations of researchers at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for the collections she built and the assistance she offered in their use
A graduate of Barnard College (1935) and Columbia University Graduate School of Library Service (1936) Jean Hutsons career was devoted to the New York City Public Library System From 1948 until 1980 she was first curator and then chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture She retired from the New York Public Library in 1984 During her tenure the collections at the Schomburg Center grew and its status as a major resource for research on Black history and culture became more widely known Her focus on providing an adequate facility for the collections resulted in the 1981 opening of a new building that included space not only for the Schomburg Centers collections but also for research exhibitions and programming Kwame Nkrumah who had met Jean Hutson when he used the resources of the Schomburg Center invited her to Ghana in 1964-65 to assist in the development of the African Collection at the University of Ghana She established collection policies at the Balme Library that included materials about the diaspora as well as African studies She remained professionally active during her retirement For example she served on the Task Force
on Library and Information Services to Cultural Minorities of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science in the 1980s
Publications during her retirement include a chapter on the Schomburg Center in Black Bibliophiles and Collectors Preservers of Black History (Washington Howard University Press 1990) The professional contributions of Jean Blackwell Hutson are discussed in detail in Glendora Johnson-Coopers African American Historical Continuity Jean Blackwell Hutson and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Reclaiming the American Library Past Writing the Women In edited by Suzanne Hildenbrand (Norwood Ablex 1996) 27-51
In her statement accompanying her portrait in Brian Lankers I Dream a World Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (New York Stewart Tabori and Chang 1989) Jean Hutson reflected on the Schomburg Center One of the main things the Schomburg does is supply the ammunition for change It is a part of the public library open to everybody everywhere You dont have to be registered at the university to have access to the materials The catalog is available all around the world That has been and continues to be the opportunity that the Schomburg offers

1999 ASA ELECTIONS
The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members
For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative and focus on US Black and African feminisms and Womens International Human rights My most recent publication Shades of Othering Reflections on Female CircumcisionGenital Mutilation appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~ Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions A Black Feminist Perspective in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol 1 1 1995 I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today After the Womens Decade The Task ahead for Africa Vol 37 1 1990 Finally I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled The Roots of African Civilization produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996
Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

Resolution on National Institution of Studies and Research of Guinea Bissau
Given recent reports indicating that the fighting which has erupted on June 7 1998 has caused considerable devastation including the deaths and displacement of large numbers of people and given further reports that the National Institute of Studies of Research of Guinea-Bissau (INEP) the largest and most active research institution has suffered extreme damage some of which has resulted from the transformation of the premises into barracks by Senegalese troops
and given that the effects of the fighting have included the destruction of much of the previous holdings of INEP including its archives and library photographs films all of which have recorded the history of Guinea-Bissau and which are virtually irreplaceable
Be it resolved that the African Studies Association expresses its outrage over this destruction of the holdings of INEP and appeals to the Senegalese and Guinea- Bissauan authorities to condemn the unfortunate assault on Guinea-Bissaus cultural history to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for these acts and to restore as much of the holdings of INEP as can be done

Jean Blackwell Hutson 1914-1998
David L Easterbrook Northwestern University
1997-98 Chair Africana Librarians Council
The Africana Librarians Council (ALC) remembers with great fondness Jean Blackwell Hutson a regular participant in the work of the ALC and member of the ASA for many years
Jean Hutson attended her first ALC meeting in 1959 and her participation in ALC activities continued until retirement In addition to her contributions to the ongoing work of the ALC Jean Huston is remembered by generations of researchers at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for the collections she built and the assistance she offered in their use
A graduate of Barnard College (1935) and Columbia University Graduate School of Library Service (1936) Jean Hutsons career was devoted to the New York City Public Library System From 1948 until 1980 she was first curator and then chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture She retired from the New York Public Library in 1984 During her tenure the collections at the Schomburg Center grew and its status as a major resource for research on Black history and culture became more widely known Her focus on providing an adequate facility for the collections resulted in the 1981 opening of a new building that included space not only for the Schomburg Centers collections but also for research exhibitions and programming Kwame Nkrumah who had met Jean Hutson when he used the resources of the Schomburg Center invited her to Ghana in 1964-65 to assist in the development of the African Collection at the University of Ghana She established collection policies at the Balme Library that included materials about the diaspora as well as African studies She remained professionally active during her retirement For example she served on the Task Force
on Library and Information Services to Cultural Minorities of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science in the 1980s
Publications during her retirement include a chapter on the Schomburg Center in Black Bibliophiles and Collectors Preservers of Black History (Washington Howard University Press 1990) The professional contributions of Jean Blackwell Hutson are discussed in detail in Glendora Johnson-Coopers African American Historical Continuity Jean Blackwell Hutson and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Reclaiming the American Library Past Writing the Women In edited by Suzanne Hildenbrand (Norwood Ablex 1996) 27-51
In her statement accompanying her portrait in Brian Lankers I Dream a World Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (New York Stewart Tabori and Chang 1989) Jean Hutson reflected on the Schomburg Center One of the main things the Schomburg does is supply the ammunition for change It is a part of the public library open to everybody everywhere You dont have to be registered at the university to have access to the materials The catalog is available all around the world That has been and continues to be the opportunity that the Schomburg offers

1999 ASA ELECTIONS
The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members
For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

Resolution on National Institution of Studies and Research of Guinea Bissau
Given recent reports indicating that the fighting which has erupted on June 7 1998 has caused considerable devastation including the deaths and displacement of large numbers of people and given further reports that the National Institute of Studies of Research of Guinea-Bissau (INEP) the largest and most active research institution has suffered extreme damage some of which has resulted from the transformation of the premises into barracks by Senegalese troops
and given that the effects of the fighting have included the destruction of much of the previous holdings of INEP including its archives and library photographs films all of which have recorded the history of Guinea-Bissau and which are virtually irreplaceable
Be it resolved that the African Studies Association expresses its outrage over this destruction of the holdings of INEP and appeals to the Senegalese and Guinea- Bissauan authorities to condemn the unfortunate assault on Guinea-Bissaus cultural history to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for these acts and to restore as much of the holdings of INEP as can be done

Jean Blackwell Hutson 1914-1998
David L Easterbrook Northwestern University
1997-98 Chair Africana Librarians Council
The Africana Librarians Council (ALC) remembers with great fondness Jean Blackwell Hutson a regular participant in the work of the ALC and member of the ASA for many years
Jean Hutson attended her first ALC meeting in 1959 and her participation in ALC activities continued until retirement In addition to her contributions to the ongoing work of the ALC Jean Huston is remembered by generations of researchers at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for the collections she built and the assistance she offered in their use
A graduate of Barnard College (1935) and Columbia University Graduate School of Library Service (1936) Jean Hutsons career was devoted to the New York City Public Library System From 1948 until 1980 she was first curator and then chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture She retired from the New York Public Library in 1984 During her tenure the collections at the Schomburg Center grew and its status as a major resource for research on Black history and culture became more widely known Her focus on providing an adequate facility for the collections resulted in the 1981 opening of a new building that included space not only for the Schomburg Centers collections but also for research exhibitions and programming Kwame Nkrumah who had met Jean Hutson when he used the resources of the Schomburg Center invited her to Ghana in 1964-65 to assist in the development of the African Collection at the University of Ghana She established collection policies at the Balme Library that included materials about the diaspora as well as African studies She remained professionally active during her retirement For example she served on the Task Force
on Library and Information Services to Cultural Minorities of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science in the 1980s
Publications during her retirement include a chapter on the Schomburg Center in Black Bibliophiles and Collectors Preservers of Black History (Washington Howard University Press 1990) The professional contributions of Jean Blackwell Hutson are discussed in detail in Glendora Johnson-Coopers African American Historical Continuity Jean Blackwell Hutson and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Reclaiming the American Library Past Writing the Women In edited by Suzanne Hildenbrand (Norwood Ablex 1996) 27-51
In her statement accompanying her portrait in Brian Lankers I Dream a World Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (New York Stewart Tabori and Chang 1989) Jean Hutson reflected on the Schomburg Center One of the main things the Schomburg does is supply the ammunition for change It is a part of the public library open to everybody everywhere You dont have to be registered at the university to have access to the materials The catalog is available all around the world That has been and continues to be the opportunity that the Schomburg offers

1999 ASA ELECTIONS
The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members
For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

Jean Blackwell Hutson 1914-1998
David L Easterbrook Northwestern University
1997-98 Chair Africana Librarians Council
The Africana Librarians Council (ALC) remembers with great fondness Jean Blackwell Hutson a regular participant in the work of the ALC and member of the ASA for many years
Jean Hutson attended her first ALC meeting in 1959 and her participation in ALC activities continued until retirement In addition to her contributions to the ongoing work of the ALC Jean Huston is remembered by generations of researchers at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for the collections she built and the assistance she offered in their use
A graduate of Barnard College (1935) and Columbia University Graduate School of Library Service (1936) Jean Hutsons career was devoted to the New York City Public Library System From 1948 until 1980 she was first curator and then chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture She retired from the New York Public Library in 1984 During her tenure the collections at the Schomburg Center grew and its status as a major resource for research on Black history and culture became more widely known Her focus on providing an adequate facility for the collections resulted in the 1981 opening of a new building that included space not only for the Schomburg Centers collections but also for research exhibitions and programming Kwame Nkrumah who had met Jean Hutson when he used the resources of the Schomburg Center invited her to Ghana in 1964-65 to assist in the development of the African Collection at the University of Ghana She established collection policies at the Balme Library that included materials about the diaspora as well as African studies She remained professionally active during her retirement For example she served on the Task Force
on Library and Information Services to Cultural Minorities of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science in the 1980s
Publications during her retirement include a chapter on the Schomburg Center in Black Bibliophiles and Collectors Preservers of Black History (Washington Howard University Press 1990) The professional contributions of Jean Blackwell Hutson are discussed in detail in Glendora Johnson-Coopers African American Historical Continuity Jean Blackwell Hutson and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Reclaiming the American Library Past Writing the Women In edited by Suzanne Hildenbrand (Norwood Ablex 1996) 27-51
In her statement accompanying her portrait in Brian Lankers I Dream a World Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (New York Stewart Tabori and Chang 1989) Jean Hutson reflected on the Schomburg Center One of the main things the Schomburg does is supply the ammunition for change It is a part of the public library open to everybody everywhere You dont have to be registered at the university to have access to the materials The catalog is available all around the world That has been and continues to be the opportunity that the Schomburg offers

1999 ASA ELECTIONS
The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members
For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order

For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

1999 ASA ELECTIONS
The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members
For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order

In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators

1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

1999 ASA ELECTIONS
The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members
For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

3 The ASA must find ways to increase cooperation with African scholarly organizations and research institutes such as he Council for he Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRlA) in Dakar he Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Souhern Africa (OSSREA) in Addis Ababa and he Souhern Africa Political Economy Series (SAPES) Trust in Harare Greater cooperation ought to be possible hrough joint conferences scholar and librarian exchange programs joint publications and joint campaigns to preserve and improve he conditions of libraries oral history projects museums and archives in Africa

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative and focus on US Black and African feminisms and Womens International Human rights My most recent publication Shades of Othering Reflections on Female CircumcisionGenital Mutilation appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~ Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions A Black Feminist Perspective in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol 1 1 1995 I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today After the Womens Decade The Task ahead for Africa Vol 37 1 1990 Finally I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled The Roots of African Civilization produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996
Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

For the Vice-Presidency
Tbomas A Hale Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent As an officer of the ASA I will focus the organizations considerable strength on meeting these five goals
1 Collaborate more closely with other organizations both domestic and foreign to raise awareness of Africa These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association TransAfrica the Summit on Africa the Societe des Africanistes UNESCO CODES RIA the West African Research Center in Dakar and UBUNTIJ 2000 The launching of joint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director hut must he an objective of the board and the officers Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies we share a long-term interest--Africa Together we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country
2 Teach to a wider audience We teach to our students to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings to our colleagues in other fields at home to the administrators who control our resources and on occasion to people in society who through their elected representatives control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges research and aid If we can lift our sighLlt from the immediate task of next weeks lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines provide outreach to schools and write for local publications we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out The Kennedy Centers outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences
3 Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa If the Weh and e-mail are no longer new we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute in a synergistic way to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences For example e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent Although technology cannot replace humans a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner
4 Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar It ha grown considerably in the laltt few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic
5 Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating At the same time we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers
To reach these goals I will draw on 30 years of experience a an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books headed two Africanist organizations the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites
Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy
Now a~ in tbe past tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing encouraging research and teaching on Africa gterving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators specialists and tbe general public In recent years tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans Africans and women We are larger and more diverse and we have an incfea~ing number of a~socialed groups At tbe same time our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America
We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent But increaltingly we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press government bodies NGOs business communities schools and colleges and tbe general public If elected alt Vice-President of tbe ASA I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Associations puhlications For example Issue A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJaltsroom use ali well a~ for policymakers journaIisl~ and development practitioners interested in Africa I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers Bureau In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media We dont have answers to all of Africas problems but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe paltl And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event in Africa
To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced Still leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat while seeking additional sources of funding
Ine ASA alt an altsociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting We can do more to improve communication among scholars alt universities move towards more global perspectives At tbe same time tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology
Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs and tbe book famine in libraries persists I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities It is crucial to support tbe ASAs efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges In tbis context tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe US government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe US for scholarly exchanges
African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years I walt Co-Convener of tbe ASA Womens Caucus and a Member of tbe Womens Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991 and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996 I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa This Geneva-balted organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda Burundi and ealttern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet
My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact

2 The ASA must become more assertive in reaching out to he general American puhlic he media and foreign policymakers The ASA could do his in at least hree important and related ways First he ASA could publish a short pamphlet briefly describing its activities and distribute it to media organizations puhlic and small academic libraries he US House of Representatives and he US Senate American and foreign emhassies and oher professional organizations in he United States Europe and Africa The ASA-spollsored organizations could be called upon to assist in it distribution Second and as soon a possible he ASA ought to publish an up-to-date directory of its own membership (in print andor on he Internet) and make a fmn commitment to revise and reissue 1l1is directory every two or hree years Third he ASA ought to commission more publications (in print and on he Internet) on major foreign policy issues relating to Africa for he general public perhaps in cooperation wih oher foreign policy organizations such as The Africa Policy Information Center (APIC) The Africa Fund TransAfrica Forum or The Council on Foreign Relations

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process

I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa and the politics of genocide In The Cohesion of Oppression Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding economic changes and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process
Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over womens labor with a reduction in womens autonomy my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals In the course of these studies I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program the Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University the National Endowment for the Humanities the Institute for Advanced Study and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies among others Given changing priorities the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa
After two years at Dalhousie University I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIAshyfunded linkage program with the Womens Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative
Within the SSRC I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T Robinson and Mamadou Diouf J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994) and together Robinson Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa the resulLlt of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events I have participated in numerous workshops conferences consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters and briefings for policy makers and the general public in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha Bamako Montreal and Bujumbura as well a~ very frequently in the US Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact
For the Board
Joseph S Caruso Biographical Information
I am currently the African Studies Librarian at Columbia University in New York I received my PhD degree in African history from Columbia in early 1993 My doctoral dissertation Politics in colonial Kenya 1929-1963 a history of Kilifi District is an exploration of the social and economic origins of Mijikenda politics in coastal Kenya
Columbia University Libraries has a internationally-recognized research collection on Sub-Saharan Africa with over 100000 books and over 1700 serial tiLles My principal responsibility as African Studies Librarian is to build and preserve materials on Africa for the library in active consultation with the African studies research community in and around the university Every day I strive to make the Africana collection and information about Africa as accessible as possible for studenLlt faculty and visiting scholars
Since 1994 I have been an active member of the Africana Librarians Council (ALC) a sponsored organization of the African Studies Association I served as Vice-Chair of the ALC in 1995-96 and ali Chair in 1996-97 I am the institutional representative for Columbia in the activities of the Cooperative Africana Microform Project (CAMP) at the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago Illinois Between 1995 and 1998 I served on the CAMP Executive Also since 1994 I have served as the librarian for Columbias Institute of African Studies a Title VI National Resource Center for African Studies Beginning in 1995 I became the coordinator of what has become a successful cooperative microfilming project involving the National Archives of Senegal in Dakar the Center for Research Libraries and Title VI African studies centers
My commiunent to public service extends onto he global Internet as well I am he sole editor and writer of Columhias annotated guide for African studies research on he World Wide Web African Studies Internet Resources lthupwwwcolumhiaeducUlibrariesindivareaAfrica gt which includes he International Directory of African Studies Scholars lthttpwww columhiaeducullihrariesindiv area Africadirectory htmlgt
In addition I am a supponing memher of he Association of Concerned Africa Scholars and of he Electronic Technology Group
Statement of Candidacy
If elected to he ASA Board I will dedicate my efforts over he nexthree years to working wih oher board members to pursue he following initiatives
1 The ASA should take a more active role in promoting the dissemination of knowledge about Africa beyond he campuses of American universities and coUeges As a librarian and a historian of Africa I would like to work wih oher interested ASA members who wish to expand and diversify high-quality African studies texts hibliographic reference and image collections (in print andor digital formalraquo for American high school and undergraduate college classrooms and libraries I have had some experience in developing supplementary course materials at Columbia in association wih faculty and he Title VI teacher outreach program
2 The ASA must become more assertive in reaching out to he general American puhlic he media and foreign policymakers The ASA could do his in at least hree important and related ways First he ASA could publish a short pamphlet briefly describing its activities and distribute it to media organizations puhlic and small academic libraries he US House of Representatives and he US Senate American and foreign emhassies and oher professional organizations in he United States Europe and Africa The ASA-spollsored organizations could be called upon to assist in it distribution Second and as soon a possible he ASA ought to publish an up-to-date directory of its own membership (in print andor on he Internet) and make a fmn commitment to revise and reissue 1l1is directory every two or hree years Third he ASA ought to commission more publications (in print and on he Internet) on major foreign policy issues relating to Africa for he general public perhaps in cooperation wih oher foreign policy organizations such as The Africa Policy Information Center (APIC) The Africa Fund TransAfrica Forum or The Council on Foreign Relations
3 The ASA must find ways to increase cooperation with African scholarly organizations and research institutes such as he Council for he Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRlA) in Dakar he Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Souhern Africa (OSSREA) in Addis Ababa and he Souhern Africa Political Economy Series (SAPES) Trust in Harare Greater cooperation ought to be possible hrough joint conferences scholar and librarian exchange programs joint publications and joint campaigns to preserve and improve he conditions of libraries oral history projects museums and archives in Africa

Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative and focus on US Black and African feminisms and Womens International Human rights My most recent publication Shades of Othering Reflections on Female CircumcisionGenital Mutilation appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~ Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions A Black Feminist Perspective in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol 1 1 1995 I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today After the Womens Decade The Task ahead for Africa Vol 37 1 1990 Finally I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled The Roots of African Civilization produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996
Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

My publications include a book titled The Culture of Politics in Modem Kenya (Cambridge University Press 1995) and a forthcoming volume on CouwlOdities and Globalization- Anthropological Perspectives (coedited) A volume in prepardtion based on my research in Kenya during the pait two decades addresses epistemological and theoretical issues in longitudinal research on wealth and poverty Some of my other publications include The Disappearing Local Rethinking GlobalLocal Connections in Ali Mirsepagtsi and Fred Weaver eds Revisioning the Area Studies Debates (forthcoming) A Comment on Method and Theory in the Study of Contemporary African Politics in Mamadou Diouf Catharine Newbury and Pearl T Robinson eds Transitions in Africa Expanding Political Space (forthcoming) and a number of articles and chapters on land tenure and agrarian change in Kenya and Rwanda In 1997 I edited a special issue of the journal Africa Today on The Future of Regional Studies (vol 44 no 2) to which I contributed an introductory overview of challenges and opportunities facing African Studies
I have served on the executive boards of the Association for Political and Legal Anthropology (1997-2000) and the Society for Economic Anthropology (1992-1995) and on the program committee of the American Anthropological Association These positions have allowed me to help support Africa scholarship within my disciplines major professional organization I have organized and chaired a numocr of panels focused on Africa scholarship at annual meetings of the African Studies Association Uld American Anthropological Association
Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies

I have MA and PhD degrees from the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at the University of Denver with concentrations in Comparative Politics Human Rights and Africa I also have an MA from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London where my concentrations included British Colonial West African History Religions of Sub Sahara Africa and Social Change in Sub Sahara Africa My BA was in Sociology and History at Spelman College
My involvement with ASA began when as a graduate student I coordinated the scheduling of panels for the annual mecting in Denver in 1987 I have also served as co-convenor of the ASA Womens Caucus 1993-94 1994-95 Since then I continue to serve on the caucus stecring committee
My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative and focus on US Black and African feminisms and Womens International Human rights My most recent publication Shades of Othering Reflections on Female CircumcisionGenital Mutilation appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~ Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions A Black Feminist Perspective in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol 1 1 1995 I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today After the Womens Decade The Task ahead for Africa Vol 37 1 1990 Finally I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled The Roots of African Civilization produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996
Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

ecology and reconceptualizations of globallocal connections This work hai been funded by grants from the Social Science Research Council Rockefeller Foundation Yale University Northwestern University and the National Science Foundation
My publications include a book titled The Culture of Politics in Modem Kenya (Cambridge University Press 1995) and a forthcoming volume on CouwlOdities and Globalization- Anthropological Perspectives (coedited) A volume in prepardtion based on my research in Kenya during the pait two decades addresses epistemological and theoretical issues in longitudinal research on wealth and poverty Some of my other publications include The Disappearing Local Rethinking GlobalLocal Connections in Ali Mirsepagtsi and Fred Weaver eds Revisioning the Area Studies Debates (forthcoming) A Comment on Method and Theory in the Study of Contemporary African Politics in Mamadou Diouf Catharine Newbury and Pearl T Robinson eds Transitions in Africa Expanding Political Space (forthcoming) and a number of articles and chapters on land tenure and agrarian change in Kenya and Rwanda In 1997 I edited a special issue of the journal Africa Today on The Future of Regional Studies (vol 44 no 2) to which I contributed an introductory overview of challenges and opportunities facing African Studies
I have served on the executive boards of the Association for Political and Legal Anthropology (1997-2000) and the Society for Economic Anthropology (1992-1995) and on the program committee of the American Anthropological Association These positions have allowed me to help support Africa scholarship within my disciplines major professional organization I have organized and chaired a numocr of panels focused on Africa scholarship at annual meetings of the African Studies Association Uld American Anthropological Association
Statement of Candidacy
The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa If elected to the ASA Executive Board my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities widen access to outside funding sources and build enduring linkages between African and North AmriGID universities and research centers Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we cm take to assist scholars in Africa As outgoing editor of Africa Today I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobis Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disaltsembled following the joumal move to Indiana University) I would also work toward imreaing the participation of Africans ltmd AfriccmshyAmericans in defining research agendas and priorities in US universities and in the ASA This includes attention to fostering collaboration between historically black colleges and universities tllat pioneered African Studies in the United States and those universities that historically have been predominantly white and have had better access to resources for African Studies
In this time of exciting new expressions of interest in Africa in the United States we need to work toward deeper engagement between the scholarly community and nonacademic organizations that make up Africas constituency in the United States (such a the Constitueney for Africa and the Corporate Council on Africa) Such constituencies crucially shape the terms on which Africa and the United States participate in the global economy The ASA can support and encourage critical analysis of globalization processes including growing private sector initiatives on Africa
As African Studies face funding challenges as institutional capabilities and priorities ill US higher education shifl and as international and area studies programs are reconfigured to address global and comparative issues we must not compromise the depth of regional knowledge that has been the great strength of African Studies Funding fad and fashions need not threaten the place of Africa scholarship in a globalizing world Rather scholars of Africa must actively propose debate and create programs and policies that meet the needs and interestgt of our multiple constituencies Our challenge is to understand globaVlocal connections better and to rethink research method and curricula accordingly
Also included among my priorities would be attention to ASA collaboration with other organizations to help reverse the decline in US asistance to Africa to increaC informed media coverage of continent to incorporate African materials into precollegiate curricula a well a into mainstream disciplinary courses in colleges and universities and to keep funding of scholarly research separate from national security and intelligence agencies
Stanlie M James Biographical Information
I am an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a joint appointment in the Afro-American Studies Department and the Womens Studies Program I am also affiliated with the African Studies Program where I currently serve on the Planning Committec Additionally I am completing a threc year term as director of the Womens Studies Research Center
I have MA and PhD degrees from the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at the University of Denver with concentrations in Comparative Politics Human Rights and Africa I also have an MA from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London where my concentrations included British Colonial West African History Religions of Sub Sahara Africa and Social Change in Sub Sahara Africa My BA was in Sociology and History at Spelman College
My involvement with ASA began when as a graduate student I coordinated the scheduling of panels for the annual mecting in Denver in 1987 I have also served as co-convenor of the ASA Womens Caucus 1993-94 1994-95 Since then I continue to serve on the caucus stecring committee
My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative and focus on US Black and African feminisms and Womens International Human rights My most recent publication Shades of Othering Reflections on Female CircumcisionGenital Mutilation appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~ Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions A Black Feminist Perspective in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol 1 1 1995 I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today After the Womens Decade The Task ahead for Africa Vol 37 1 1990 Finally I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled The Roots of African Civilization produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996
Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

Stanlie M James Biographical Information
I am an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a joint appointment in the Afro-American Studies Department and the Womens Studies Program I am also affiliated with the African Studies Program where I currently serve on the Planning Committec Additionally I am completing a threc year term as director of the Womens Studies Research Center
I have MA and PhD degrees from the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at the University of Denver with concentrations in Comparative Politics Human Rights and Africa I also have an MA from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London where my concentrations included British Colonial West African History Religions of Sub Sahara Africa and Social Change in Sub Sahara Africa My BA was in Sociology and History at Spelman College
My involvement with ASA began when as a graduate student I coordinated the scheduling of panels for the annual mecting in Denver in 1987 I have also served as co-convenor of the ASA Womens Caucus 1993-94 1994-95 Since then I continue to serve on the caucus stecring committee
My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative and focus on US Black and African feminisms and Womens International Human rights My most recent publication Shades of Othering Reflections on Female CircumcisionGenital Mutilation appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~ Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions A Black Feminist Perspective in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol 1 1 1995 I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today After the Womens Decade The Task ahead for Africa Vol 37 1 1990 Finally I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled The Roots of African Civilization produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996
Candidacy Statement
I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the US State Department and the UN) I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent If elected I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills organizational skills a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds and an ability to facilitate consensus building process
William G Martin Biographical Information
I received my BA from the University of Michigan my MA and PhD from SUNY Binghamton taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999 and as of Fall 1999 am Professor of Sociology and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center Binghamton University
My research and teaching have focused upon Africas and particularly southern Africas role in the world-economy Africas relationship with Europe and North America US foreign policy towards Africa and the historical construction of African and area studies My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global RaceAfrica or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa) I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASAsISSllli (with Michael West) Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) My most recent publications include Out of One ManY Afrieas Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West University of Illinois Press 1999) Constructive Engagement II or Catching the Fourth Wave IDapoundk ~ (forthcoming 1999) and Waiting for Oprah and the New US Constituency for Africa Review of African political Economy (1998) I have had among others a Fulbright grant and been a primary
investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of AfricaAfrican-American studies)
Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

Statement of Candidacy
My agenda if elected may be simplystated I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies much less attention to the continent and itgt people in part this arises from protestgt by those who feel excluded or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa
In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled often painfully over issues of inclusion race and power among Africanists and within the Association I have tried in small ways to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below) And these discussions need to continue But we also need to be more open and proactive if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa
What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years Four types come eaiily to mind I am sure there are more One we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr HOPE bill or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans including North Africans to the development of the US and Europe Two we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives ai in movemenLi for an African holocaust monument in Washington or reparations for enslavement and colonialism Three we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa both at home and abroad Could we not imagine ASA assessments as is done by other national associations of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines as is often done by national academic organizations covering such issues ali CIA funding relationships with African informants and researchers or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing survey research etc Finally we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress or meetings on the continent itself with African collaborators etc
Whatever list one generates the critical point is quite straightforward can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront and not alt is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America If we are to flourish in the new millennium such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order
Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information
In late July 1972 I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities the University of Dar es Salaam Makerere University Chancellor College (Malawi) the University of Swaziland and universities in Ghana and South Africa Thus I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars administrators and studenL that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities
My administrative research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities I received my BA and PhD in Geography from Cambridge University finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru baltin Kenya Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St Lawrence University in Canton New York where I have taught since 1991 These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa At Kenyatta
University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators

1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support

University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals 4 book chapters numerous articles in popular journals and childrens magazines 5 elementary and high school textbooks and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano
My eight years at St Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education of African Studies Combined Majors with History Economics Anthropology and Government I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study
For five years I taught at the St Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators
Statement of candidacy
1 The American Africanist community led by the ASA must continue to maintain strong links with African universities involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners If elected I would work to strengthen such links One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the brain drain of talented scholars to American institutions While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions that provide access to recently published books and journals subsidized e-mail links and short study tours
2 We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls and womens educational careers believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars in Africa and in America Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent If elected I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Womens Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals
3 The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa management of the continents wildlife and Africas vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries toxic waste
4 I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies In the current era of globalization Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs and I would work to build cooperation along these lines
5 The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa we need to share experiences and resources The ASA should facilitate this and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US which I strongly support
