The
Institute for the African Child
The children of Africa are the interdisciplinary focus of the Institute
for the African Child at Ohio University. We seek to promote research,
teaching, and service that consider children in the process of the
African continent’s socio-economic development. Children are Africa’s
most marginalized population group and a resource in need of the
world’s attention. http://www.ohio.edu/afrchild/islam_conf/index.htm

ACCESS REVIEWS: Annotations and Critiques of Children's Materials
on Africa This online database contains reviews and annotations
of over 900 materials on Africa. These critiques and descriptions
were written by university professors, librarians, and teachers
most of whom have lived in Africa and have graduate degrees in African
Studies. Africa Access Review is a collective response to the critical
need for authoritative information about children's materials on
Africa. Studies have repeatedly shown that U.S. libraries that serve
children contain biased and stereotypical materials on Africa. We
hope educators will use the information provided here to build accurate,
balanced collections on Africa. http://filemaker.mcps.k12.md.us/aad/
