In this course, we will broaden our study of French to other areas of the world in which French is spoken: North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, Quebec and Indochina. In the fi rst part of the course, students will learn about the history of the imperial project that resulted in the preponderance of French in the world. We will then study each area of la Francophonie in turn, examining representative works of art, literature and fi lm that present the major themes of the colonization and post-colonization eras.
