Reviewed Resources for Students and Teachers Africa, African Anthropology - General Resources By peoples A through K go to L through Z The peoples of Africa are often described in terms of their ethnic background or their languages. There are several thousand ethnic groups in Africa, ranging in physical stature from the short Pygmies to the tall Maasai, each with its own cultural traditions. Here are only a few of them. Akan Akuapem Akye Anyi Aowin Asante Babanki Baga Bali Bamana Bamileke Bamum Bangubangu Bangwa Baule Beembe Bembe Berber Bidyogo Bobo Bushoong Bwa Chokwe Dan Diamande Dogon Eket Fang Fante Fon Frafra Fulani Hausa Hemba Holoholo Ibibio Idoma Igbira Igbo Ijo Kabre Karagwe Kassena Katana Kom Kongo Kota Kuba Kusu Kwahu Kwere Please note: Some of the peoples and associations presented here are so closely related that more than one topic heading may apply. For example, The Akan people are given a page of their own, yet the Asante ( Ashanti ) are also an Akan people, as are the Akuapem. So, a full search for the 'Akan' may involve looking at pages dedicated to sub-groups as well. Some sub-group pages may contain only a link or two, but they are still part of a much larger picture. You will find a similar relationship among some of other peoples listed here. This is a case where a little advanced knowledge of the subject may be an advantage when using these pages. Bidyogo People __"Although not much is known about the origins of the Bidyogo, their language definitely connects them with the current occupants of the coastal mainland. It is known that at one time mainland peoples related to the Bidyogo extended far north along the coast into present day Mauritania and were gradually forced south as a result of southward Berber movement." You will find material related to history, religion, political structure and more. - From University of Iowa - http://www.uiowa.edu/~africart/toc/people/Bidyogo.html Linguistic Lineage for Bidyogo __ Trace the origins of the Bidyogo language. - from ethnologue.com - http://www.ethnologue.com/show_lang_family.asp?code=bjg Who Are the Bidyogo? - The civilization of the Bissagos Islands __ You will find a general overview of the Bidyogo people. - illustrated - From softpedia.com - http://news.softpedia.com/news/Who-Are-the-Bidyogo-79464.shtml
