I’ve attached the Quiz below please answer each question thoroughly. I’ve attached some reading materials and the quiz prompt.
You have to site sources
Also general, good answers are about two paragraphs long. Citation of the readings (give the source and page in the Sociological inline citation (Author Date-of-publication: page), i.e. (DuBois 1987: 154). If it is an assigned reading, you do not have to enter the source in a bibliographic Reference list. Only give the references which would otherwise be unknown to your professor in a list of References at the end.
Use Davison and the black mans burden to answer question 8.
1. Based on either Farrar’s discussion of the Akan Ohemma and the Pabir Maigira, or the
Brochure by myself and Umar Mohammed, explain the key features of the system of the Nana
Ohemma which make it among the strongest “dual-sex governance” institutions.
2. Discuss 10 key features cited by Cheikh Anta Diop to bolster his analytical paradigm of the
existence of Two Cradles.
3. How does Diop refute the theory of Engels and Marx that matriarchy can be understood as
just a phase that societies went through, with patriarchy as the developmentally higher state?
4. Chapter Five of Diop’s work deals with the broader picture of the coming of awareness of
morality by the people of the northern cradle, particularly with respect to their system of
gender, patriarchy. How does he use this history to assert that the genre of tragedy is unique to
the indigenous culture of the northern cradle?
5. Could it be as Diop proposes that matriarchy or matrism (woman-friendly society) has a
particular connection to African and southern societies? Thinking about everything you have
been taught in school and all the political expressions to Africa and to Black people, what can
you suggest Pan-Africanists seeking to bring about unification do differently, specifically, in light
of this exposé about African people’s most unifying trait?
6. Describe one of the migrations that occur in Segu. Why did people move? Look up the main
locations and comment on how far these movements went. If you have finished this novel,
comment on it, or comment on it to the furthest pages you reached.
7. The purpose of the question above is to have you think about how migrations figure in
African people’s history (our history) and to open up an area of Africa to suggest that Black
history can become known as a series of historical flows rather than an unknown “black box”
across an ocean. But somehow, our education curriculum seems to be failing most of our
graduates today. Would you say this is true, or has it not been true for you? Why?
8. Select any other assigned reading (that I have not given you questions on), summarize its key
pointcixs, and comment on them
