Postcards: March 2009
http://krooke.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
March 26, 2009. That was a really nice day. I read, I napped, I swam, I got a safe, protected tan in some places and angry red sunburns in others, and had a general good time. Wait, brainwave. It depends on what kind of customs form you put on the package. If it’s the little green one, it goes to Fann. If it’s the big white one, it goes to Colis Postaux. Perhaps there world is a logical place after all. Nothing bad happened, and as it turned out, my host mom, Anita, and Moussouba all voted! 8221; with bi...

Postcards: Spring Break
http://krooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-break.html
April 7, 2009. Photos from my spring break. Last week, during my spring break, I traveled to the southern region of Senegal, called Casamance. It’s known for its lush, green landscape, gorgeous sandy beaches, and the Diola people who live there who have carefully guarded many of their traditional cultural practices. Also, the violent separatist movement. Would operate much the same way as other modes of transportation in Senegal – stuff as many people in as possible. It would get dangerously ov...In 2002...

April 22, 2009. To start off with, here’s a brief history lesson about how Islam actually got to Senegal:. That’s how 95% of the Senegalese population came to be Muslim. The small percentage of Christians in Senegal are, for the most part, grouped in cities on the Atlantic coast that used to be important colonial cites (Dakar, Rufisque, St. Louis, etc). Even in these places, Muslims overwhelmingly outnumber Christians. 8221; (“Why not Kara? April 14, 2009. Pictures from Easter and my birthday. I went wit...

Postcards: Meet me in Saint-Louis
http://krooke.blogspot.com/2009/03/meet-me-in-saint-louis.html
March 17, 2009. Meet me in Saint-Louis. We left on Friday (which meant no class, yay) and drove all morning through barren Sahel landscape. Things we saw on the way that totally mystified me include:. People. Every now and then you’d look out and see people walking through the bush even though there was no sign of a settlement anywhere. What could they possibly be doing out there? How did they get food? What did they do all day? How could life possibly work here? The tour was a nice, leisurely river crui...

January 30, 2009. Hey all, no time for a long post before my class starts, but I wanted to update with my mailing address. It's the address of WARC, not my house. Awa gave me a letter that had safely arrived and I just took the address off of that, so hopefully this is right:. West African Research Center. C/o WARC/CROA BP 5456. There's no zip code. The really important part is the boîte postale. January 27, 2009. I have no idea why the students are going on strike or how long the strike will last. S...
