- The
Institute for the African Child
The children of Africa are the interdisciplinary focus of the Institute
for the African Child at Ohio University. We seek to promote research,
teaching, and service that consider children in the process of the
African continent's socio-economic development. Children are Africa's
most marginalized population group and a resource in need of the
world's attention. http://www.ohio.edu/afrchild/islam_conf/index.htm
- The
practice of Islam as well as indigeneous religions of Africa among
the early slave population in the United States is explored in the
PBS documentary "This
Far by Faith" which posts an informative web page at http://www.pbs.org/thisfarbyfaith/

- AFRICA ACCESS REVIEWS:
Annotations and Critiques of Children's Materials on Africa This
online database contains reviews and annotations of over 900 materials
on Africa. These critiques and descriptions were written by university
professors, librarians, and teachers most of whom have lived in
Africa and have graduate degrees in African Studies. Africa Access
Review is a collective response to the critical need for authoritative
information about children's materials on Africa. Studies have repeatedly
shown that U.S. libraries that serve children contain biased and
stereotypical materials on Africa. We hope educators will use the
information provided here to build accurate, balanced collections
on Africa. http://filemaker.mcps.k12.md.us/aad/
