103.151 Literacy in the Aegean Bronze Age.
This paper discusses the Aegean Bronze Age. Anthropologists and archaeologists call certain societies "iron age" or "bronze age." In doing this they recognize that the properties of the main metal used by a society's technology greatly affect both its use and through this the nature of that society. For instance, bronze unlike iron is too soft to be used for ploughing; it is an alloy. Bronze can be smelted at lower temperatures than iron, which need specialized supplies of charcoal. All these facts affect societies, which use bronze and iron. For example, since bronze cannot be used for ploughing these societies cannot produce in many regions the large agriculture surplus iron societies can; since bronze requires tin bronze age societies had to trade, etc. (Claiborne, 1974) I believe the same parallel exists between the different characteristics of different writing systems and its use as a communication technology in a society.

Elechi Amadi's novel "The Concubine" and Maryse Conde's novel "Segu" both present us with views of African religion. But while Amadi's novel focuses on a misty past in which the traditinal religion and traditional ways seem to be eternal, Conde's world of slavers and Islamic armies helps us to understand the ways in which religious faith is changed by history.
