PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
The YouTube videos that are showcased in this five part pancocojams series focus on some hair styles that are worn or were worn by Black females in an African nation or among females in the African Diaspora. In selecting African nations, I've limited my focus to countries in West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and South Africa. I didn't include North Africa because of the difficulty finding YouTube videos of females who didn't have their hair covered. I apologize if this series doesn't focus on your country.

The videos in each post in this series are given in alphabetical order, except for Video #1. The geographical continent and region for each nation is given in parenthesis after that nation's name.

I had a few criteria for the videos that I selected for this blog series. I searched YouTube for videos of a particular nation and selected one for this series that featured girls and were of reasonably good visual and audio quality. I was interested in showcasing videos from 2019 on, but couldn't find videos from that period of time for a few of the nations that are featured in this series. I particularly favored videos for this series that featured Black female students in schools. Watching those videos show how similar and different schools are throughout the world.

None of these YouTube videos have "hair styles" as their theme. However, I'm using these videos to document hair styles that some Black girls wore/wear in those countries when those videos were produced.

In addition to documenting certain female hairstyles within a specific nation during the time periods noted in this post, these videos can serve as an introduction to certain nations. The content of these videos can also be viewed for aesthetic purposes (particularly those videos that showcases the singing, music, and/or the movement routines of the choirs/school student assemblies).

These videos aren't meant to suggest that the way/s that any population wear their hair should be an issue of concern or was/is one of the most important issues of concern for that population or for other people regarding that population. 

These YouTube videos in this pancocojams series weren't meant to document all of the hair styles that have been worn by Black high school females in these nations during the time period noted in this post. However, I believe that these videos are representative of a number of the hair styles that population wore/wear during those periods of time.

C
lick the "Black hair styles throughout the world" tag that is given below and/or the other tags that are found below for more pancocojams posts on the subject of Black people's hair styles.

Find out more about a strong community on the edge of the world, with this film by World Nomads’ Brian Rapsey. Descended from African slaves, who escaped from gold mines around 150 years ago, the people of Coqui, on the remote Pacific coast of Colombia, live on the very fringes of the global economy. Bartering mostly with fish, bananas and other produce, they have little communication or interaction with the outside world, and yet they take visitors in without pretension, and as if they were family.

Education in Democratic Republic of Congo


UNICEF UK, Sep 8, 2009

DRC is currently facing a national disaster. Half of all children do not go to school, and most of those who do are boys.

The Government budget for education is not enough to pay operational costs or teacher salaries, therefore parents are forced to pay high school fees.

Parents' main concern is feeding their children, so with limited money, education becomes secondary.
