In 1980, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the opening
of the Musée d'art et d'archéologie, Université
de Madagascar, an exhibition of material gathered at the
1979 celebration of the Sambatra
festival in Manajary was mounted. Held once every seven
years inthe southeastern region of Madagascarnear Manakara
and Manajary among theAntanbahoaka people, although today
an occasion for general social, cultural, and political
interaction, the traditional and continuing purpose of the
weeklong Sambatra is for the mothers or the paternal aunts
of male children born since the last Sambatra to bring them
forward to be circumcised and presented to the community.
Using the same image as the poster on its cover -- an adult
woman leading a small boy by the hand -- the exhibition
guide (found in the Library's General Collections) explains
day by day each ceremony and event in both Malagasy and
French.

As part of the celebration of the first decade (1974-84)
of the "revolutionary transformation" of Ethiopia from empire
to communist state, a number of events and related materials
were produced. This colorful poster announcing the National
Sports Festival sponsored by the Workers' Party of Ethiopia
is one of several publications in the Library's collection
produced by the Party's Propaganda and Culture Committee
for the tenth anniversary. The image of runners is appropriate
from a country whose long-distance runners enjoy worldwide
reputations, often participating successfully in marathons
such as those in Boston and New York as well as in Olympic
events. The date of 1976 appearing on the poster refers
to the Ethiopian calendar.
