| | Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Colonialism had a destabilizing effect on what had been a number of ethnic groups that is still being felt in African politics. | | | Democratic governments seem to be spreading, though are not yet the majority (National Geographic claims 13 African nations can be considered truly democratic). | | | Some areas of East Africa, particularly the island of Zanzibar and the Kenyan island of Lamu, received Arab and Asian Muslim settlers and merchants throughout the Middle Ages. |

| | African History |
| | African frustration was compounded by the inconsistency between, on the one hand, universalistic Christian ideals (for Christianity spread widely during the colonial period, as did Islam) and liberal political ideas which colonialism introduced into Africa, and, on the other hand, the discrimination and racism which marked colonialism everywhere. | | | Nevertheless, colonial government was profoundly undemocratic, for public policy was made entirely by European officials, and Africans enjoyed no political rights. | | | Few scholars would deny that Europeans bear major responsibility. |

| | African American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | During Reconstruction, African Americans in the South obtained the right to vote and to hold public office, as well as a number of other civil rights they previously had been denied. | | | However, when Reconstruction ended in 1877, southern, white landowners reinstituted a regime of disenfranchisement and racial segregation, and with it a wave of lynchings and other vigilante violence. | | | African Americans, also known as Afro-Americans, Black Americans, or simply blacks are an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to West and Central Africa. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: African Synods |
| | These Roman provinces lay between the Sahara and the Mediterranean and extended from Cyrenaica on the east to the Atlantic on the west, corresponding roughly to the part of the continent occupied by modern Tripoli, Algeria, and Morocco. | | | Cyprian strove to press the African views on Rome, but Pope Stephen menaced excommunication. | | | It was he who called and presided over the general synods, and early in the fifth century, it was his wont to sign the decrees in the name of all. |

| | African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. | | | The major faith found among the Yoruba people is called Ifa (it is also a name for God, known also as Olorun or Olodumare). | | | This syncretization is most noticeable in areas dominated by the Catholic faith and where the celebration of saints, votive offerings and other practices found parallels in ancient traditions. |

| | African Art |
| | It is also problematic to label as 'art' the productions of African craftspeople who frequently considered their work as an essential part of secular or religious life. | | | In many tribes, the artist had a high status, but the artist would not necessarily have been the equivalent of the western fine artist who relied on patronage or the marketplace to regulate his or her production. | | | The dark wood of the Ivory Coast was the basis for sculptural figurines of the Baule people, who produced classically naturalistic masks, and terracotta was the material used for heads produced by the Nok peoples of central and north Nigeria. |
