Odhiambo
instructs
students
by Leslie Raneri
The history department added
visiting associate professor Atieno
Odhiambo this semester.
A native of Kenya, Odhiambo will
teach courses in African and East
African history during the 1988-89
academic year.
The courses detail African cul-
tural and historical experiences by
focusing on Africa's political and
social changes as well as develop-
ment in areas such as art and oral
literature, Odhiambo said.
A common feature of Africa's
history is the struggle of man at-
tempting to control his environment
and create a livable society, Odhi-
ambo said.
"Africa's history attests to the
incompleteness of this struggle, and
that is why we can simultaneously
speak of Africa's achievements as
well as its failures, both in the past
and the present In the same vein,
that is why we can look forward to
Africa's future in hope," Odhiambo
said.
African progress is inconsistent,
Odhiambo said. He said throughout
the twentieth century, both positive
and negative changes have affected
the continent.
Progress in the African education
system, improvements in the acces-
sibility of medicine and antibiotics;
and greater control of human and
animal epidemics have been coun-
tered by a "careless decline in re-
spect for human rights, in both the
colonial and independent regimes of
Africa;" and new man-made disas-
ters, such as soil erosion, destruc-
tion of the environment, poaching,
and wars, Odhiambo said.
"Taken together, the society is
moving, but not in one direction. The
success studies are as many as the
failure studies," Odhiambo said.
Odhiambo said he wants to teach
American students that although
Atieno Odhiambo
there is a specific African history, it is
not unique in relation to the rest of
mankind.
Chairman of the Department of
History Albert Van Helden said,
Rice's history department was
searching for someone specifying in
intercultural contact in the areas of
African, Afro-American, or Carib-
bean history.
One of the department's continu-
ing priorities is to cover more of the
world, especially in the study of non-
Western cultures, Van Helden said.
"Rice is a well-organized institu-
tion with very high quality faculty
and very well defined purposes and
intention, and an enabling environ-
ment which allows students and fac-
ulty to study, research, publish, and
make friends," Odhiambo said.
Odhiambo enjoys Rice students
because they are exciting, interested
in theirwork, and ask inspiring ques-
tions.
Odhiambo was born in Kenya and
received his undergraduate degree
in history from Makerere University
(Uganda) in 1970.
He received his doctorate from
the University of Nairobi (Kenya) in
1973.
He has taught at the University of
Nairobi and as a visiting professor at
Stanford University (1979-80) and
John Hopkins University (1984-85).
His wife and four children will
come to the United States in Decem-
ber. Odhiambo plans to teach at Rice
for only one year.
Spanish professor directs play
by Leslie Raneri
Angel Gutierrez, a visiting direc-
tor from the Chamber Theater of
Madrid, is directing the Spanish
play, "Blood Wedding (Bodas de
Sangre)."
Gutierrez was hired by the Span-
ish Department in conjunction with
the General Consulate of Spain, the
Institute of Hispanic Culture, the
Spanish Theater Workshop, and
Casa Argentina of Houston, to direct
a play at Rice, Hector Urrutibeity,
chairman of the Department of Span-
ish, Portuguese, and Classics, said.
Gutierrez was born in Spain.
During the Spanish Civil War, he
was one of the many children taken
to Russia. Separated from his family
and country for forty years, he was
raised in Russia and married a Rus-
sian wife.
When he left Russia, because of
the lack of artistic and personal free-
dom, he had to leave his wife in
Russia. She rejoined him three years
later.
Gutierrez graduated with honors
from the Lunacharski National Insti-
tute of Dramatic Arts in Moscow in
1953.
He studied movie directing and
script writing at the Institute of Cine-
matography in Moscow from 1962-
1964.
