This examination of Maraka long-distance trade has underlined a commercial strategy involving both exchange and production. Most of the goods the Maraka traded were either locally produced or re-exports from the desert-side trade. Once the desert-side dimension of Maraka trade was interrupted, as it was following the Umarian conquest of 1861, the linkages holding together Sinsani's economy collapsed.Maraka long-distance trade was characterized by small exclusively male caravans which maximized time constraints in bypassing numerous local markets along the route. The Maraka usually engaged in wholesale transactions, preferring smaller profit margins per unit and a rapid turnaround of goods. The Maraka traded in such a manner because involvement in commodity production at home absorbed much of their time. Profits from Maraka trade were invested in a plantation sector which fed cotton cloth and grain to the desert-side trade and to Maraka long-distance trade southward to the land of kola and down the Niger to Timbuktu.

The eight introductory psychology textbooks most widely used in English-speaking Canadian universities were assessed by one to three raters each for sex bias in language, illustrations, and written content. Overall sex bias ratings were fairly low and consistent across raters; differences were too small to justify any ranking of texts. Other results, which contrast with findings five years ago, indicated that sexist language is rarely found in the textbooks, that all include at least some discussion of sex roles and stereotypes as well as sex differences, and that most include discussion of sex-role development. Raters' different perspectives and expectations were noted and thus discussion focused on two sources of sex bias: errors of commission (e.g., use of sexist language) and errors of omission (e.g., the relative invisibility of women as psychologists). Except for some criticisms of stereotypic illustrations, there were few errors of commission cited; however, many reviewers noted omissions. Suggestions for future textbook assessments are included.This project was partially funded by the Canadian Psychological Association Committee on the Status of Women.I wish to acknowledge and thank the following people who served as reviewers of the texts:
