    When I see their slippers, I feel that they are unsystematic. This is where we begin sharing knowledge with them.

    Lining the Slippers: Making a Difference (2)

    I just ask them “does it look good when you see your slippers messy?”

    They said “No”.

    Then, I ask them “how will you solve this problem?”

    They said that they will place their slippers systematically.

    I understand that they can be changed easily if they have good guidelines. I feel that I can change some parts of their life.

    Lining the Slippers: Making a Difference (3)

    When I see this, I feel that they are not that unaware children. We can encourage them, we can teach them and we can cultivate them. But it is funny that every time when I go there I have to remind them to place their slippers systematically.

    But I hope one day this will be become tnatural. Now, most of them have got to the point where they place their slippers systematically. So, I feel that I can do it. I can improve some parts of their life.

    Brainstorming the Impact of Urban Life: Classroom Discussions

    In the class, I asked my students that “how does the increasing degree of urbanization change the next generation’s view on localized cultural identity? And how should we as anthropologists collaborate with the community?”

    In the class, I discussed on the concept of urban life and then I asked the students to think about the ways in which they all could engage with Taungthaman Village to understand the impact of urban life.

    Naga Women's Freedom (1)

    Field of Baby's Breath

    I wish I could wear 
    a pretty Pale Pink
    ankle-length Calico dress
    with frills, flounces and lace,
    break out of the mould
    abandon the stereotypes
    and get into my working clothes

    Our brothers are a war
    Our land is awash with blood
    Our rice fields need tending
    Our children caring
    Our sick healing
    Our streets cleaning
    Our enterprises running
    Our home fires burning

    Street Food in Dakar & Suburbs (2): Makeshift Eating Squares

    “It seemed that the whole city had turned into a huge market.”

    On every street corner various food outlets compete for customers with other types of businesses. Most places have very rudimentary facilities.

    "Some have simple tables set out in the open, others stay in the sun while others, like breakfast sellers, join sheets together to make a sort of voting booth in a corner of the street"

    On every street corner, too, various street food outlets compete for customers with other types of businesses. These places are either "canteens" or garages of houses transformed into catering spaces with a large table and wooden benches around for customers, or metal or wooden kiosks glued to a wall or by the roadside.

    The materials used are numerous: stainless steel or plastic or glass containers, spoons, dishes, a gas bottle or coal furnace, plastic basins for laundry, a few 20-litre oil cans recycled into water reserves and a stack of newspaper used as packaging.

    Disappearing Rice Varieties

    The rice in the photo is known as "Namar catsa" or " Caca". It looks strange from its name to its colour. According to the farmers, the rice used to be eaten by the Kings and the senior citizens because it is nutritious. The interviewee shared, "it made up complete balanced nutrition for the sick or weak. But now most of our people don't have much knowledge concerning with that kind of paddy ( including me). Today that kind of rice is not grown widely".

    Identity of Food and the Vendor

    Bruno to vendor: Are you a Moor?

    Vendor: “I am a Pulaar (ethnic group from Senegal) sir, and I am from Lao Air. You can't read? It's nevertheless well written on my beautiful stove! - - aere lao cité baratal fouta toro.  ... I know this way of preparing meat better than the Moors. It is a job, like any other, that does not belong to any ethnic group."
