The northern Mandara Mountains of Cameroon have been a focus of slave raiding for the past five centuries, according to historical sources. Some captives from the area were enslaved locally, primarily in Wandala and Fulbe communities, while others were exported to Sahelian polities or further abroad. This chapter examines ethnohistorical and archaeological data on nineteenth- and twentieth-century slave raiding, derived from research in montagnard communities along the north-eastern Mandara Mountains of Cameroon. Enslavement and slave raiding existed within larger structures of day-to-day practice in the region, and were closely tied to ideas about sociality, social proximity and violence. Through the mid-1980s at least, enslavement in the region was understood as a still-relevant political and economic process, with its chief material consequence the intensely domesticated Mandara landscape.

With Turkic and Tajik peoples to the north, Tajiks and Pashtuns in the west, ethnic Hazaras in the central highlands and the Pashtuns to the south and east, Afghanistan’s diversity stems from its history as a regional crossroads. Christianity began in Afghanistan in the fourth century and was later revived by missionaries in the frontier areas, but there was little concerted effort to spread the faith until after 1945, when the Pashtun monarchy sought to modernise Afghanistan. However, the Soviet invasion prompted fighters to repel the forces under the banner of Islam. Amidst a civil war, Christian NGO’s continued until expelled by the Taliban in 2001. The new government allowed Christian NGO’s to expand into new areas of the country. For the sake of believers’ security the most visible fellowships have been limited to foreigners. Most find it difficult to sustain everyday life in the country while openly professing Christianity due to ostracism from society. While Islam has been linked with Afghan identity, worldview has begun to change. Unfortunately, there has been an exodus of Afghan believers, usually after social and legal ostracism. Nevertheless, due to sacrifices by Afghan believers, the church is growing in numbers despite all the challenges.

Ethnographic Approach

In this article we explore creativity in everyday literacies. We arguethat much creativity can be found in the seemingly mundane and repetitiveacts of text production and text use that are part of everyday life and work.Such creativity can only be identified, however, if we look beyond the textsthemselves and examine the practices of making and engaging with texts.Once we leave aside conventional text-based notions of creativity, whichfocus on aesthetic features of language, we can understand creativity as a‘popular’ and ‘ubiquitous’ event. To support our argument, we giveexamples from two different contexts: research on literacy in a parishcommunity in the North-West of England and a study of literacy in relationto community-based tourism in Namibia.

Introduction: in historical science, along with others, the concept of ‘everyday life’ is actively developed. Recently it found application in foreign and Russian historiography of the history of childhood and youth, including in relation to the period of the World War II and the Great Patriotic War. Objective: characteristics of the everyday life of directorship, teachers and students of the Khanty-Mansiysk National Pedagogical College as a system of socio-cultural relations. Research materials: documentation of the Khanty-Mansiysk Pedagogical College and higher institutions of public education, as well as students’ memories. Results and novelty of the research: for the population of the country, the North, Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug, the war has become an insurmountable, exhausting, destructive and at the same time, inspiring and stimulating force. The everyday life of the Khanty-Mansiysk National Pedagogical College was characterized by professional problems of heads and teachers associated with school reforms of 1941–1944s, everyday disorder of evacuated teachers and students, hard physical work, diseases, difficulties of cultural adaptation in the College, especially for Khanty and Mansi students. Scientific novelty of the research is: 1) for the first time the characteristic of military everyday life of the Khanty-Mansiysk National Pedagogical College is given; 2) the theme of everyday life is mainly covered not on ego sources, but on office documentation; 3) everyday life is shown not only as a daily life, but also as relationships that binds together directorship, teachers and students.

French Tradition

Abstract Selected passages from twelve English translations of Molière’s Tartuffe are studied. The passages are chosen because of questions they raise about the language of everyday life and of religion in seventeenth-century France. The translators choose the extent to which they will keep the structures and references of the original text, or adapt them for easier access by a contemporary audience. They also choose between the French tradition of a dark, menacing interpretation, and the North American one of seeking the maximum of laughs.
