Historian John Henrik Clarke on Islam and other religions in Africa
Call Number: AFR 057Format: Cass A & BProducers: WBAIProgram: WBAI Special Premium: Spirits of the Passage with John Henrik ClarkeCollection: Africa- General Resources
Historian John Henrik Clarke speaks on spirituality and the history of Islam in Africa. He speaks about how organized religion has spread at the hand of conquerors, and Muslim Africans have been blinded to the wrongs done to their fellow Africans in the name of Islam. He talks about how East and West Africa have been Islamized by Arabs and Islamized Africans, and that nothing good for Africa comes out of outside influences. Quote: “Everything that touches your life must be converted into an instrument for your liberation, or thrown into the ash can of history.” Clarke proceeds to give a history of the Muslims, Islam, and Christianity in Africa. Taking a negative view on the Islamic religion, he also asserts that Europeans took control of Christianity and other religions. Quote: “Europeans don’t know fractions even to this day. One fourth, one half - they want it all.”

Walter Turner on Somalia
Call Number: JG/ 085AFormat: Cass AProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
1993 Interview on current U.S. actions in Somalia with Walter Turner, Producer of Africa Press Review on KPFA, History Professor at UC Berkeley, President of Global Exchange. Turner illuminates the role of U.S. intervention in Somalia over the past several decades. He notes the Cold War implications of U.S. African policy, a "football," particularly noting the switch of U.S. alliance from Somalia to Ethiopia during the war between those nations in the late 1970's. He also describes the ethnic make-up of Somalia and how the colonial legacy of ethnic division fosters current power struggles. He raises doubts about the "humanitarian" nature of U.S. intervention in Somalia because it appears by all counts to be a military intervention. He sees U.S. policies as the root cause of the crisis, both in the provision of weapons and cruel international development policies. He calls for U.N. negotiations on Somalia.
