Palaver (custom)
In Africa, the palaver is a custom of meeting, and of creating or maintaining social links. It is an egalitarian institution in which all or part of a village community participates. This custom also makes it possible to settle a dispute without violence. In many cases, a village has a traditional house or other place dedicated to the palaver ("palaver hut", "palaver tree", etc.). Dedicated places Depending on the region, the palaver can be held under the palaver tree, generally a baobab tree, or in a special building reserved for this purpose. This is the case of the Toguna (variable spelling: togouna, to'guna), in Dogon Country, Mali, a low-roofed structure reserved for men, built that way so that no one can stand up and try to take the upper hand in a fight. In his autobiography, Nelson Mandela, who was born in Transkei to a Xhosa family, cites the tribal meetings that were held regularly at the Great Mansion. With the Baoulé, depending on the circumstances, meetings may ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plot The film portrays conflicts between a British District Officer and a local tin miner which lead to war. Criticism Later commentators have classified ''Palaver'' amongst other colonial films which claimed the "beneficent influence of the white man in Africa."Geoffrey Barkas (director, producer and scriptwriter) himself, in interviews about his work, referred to his casting from "cannibal pagan tribes" and spoke of their "blind savagery." Nigerian ''Pulse'' magazine in 2017 described the film as "proudly racist", and noted: "Even though it was produced in Nigeria, Palaver was made for the British audience.

Palaver sauce or palava sauce or plasas is a type of stew widely eaten in West Africa, including Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The word '' palaver'' comes from the Portuguese language and means a talk, lengthy debate or quarrel. It is unclear how this led to the name of the stew. One theory is that the spices used in the stew mingle together like raised voices in an argument. It has been thought of as having the power to calm tensions, or to cause them. Other names for the dish include ''kontonmire'', ''kentumere'', ''nkontommire'' and ''pla'sas''. It has regional variations and can contain beef, fish, shrimp, pepitas, cassava, taro (cocoyam) leaves, and palm oil. It is served with boiled rice, potatoes, garri, fufu or yams. Outside of Africa, spinach is often used as a substitute for other greens. The leaves used to make this soup in Liberia are called molokhia or mulukhiyah leaves.
