AFRICANA STUDIES 200: Ghettoscapes
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
More than ever, the ghetto has come to dominate the American imagination. Mainstream media has portrayed the inner city as a place of fear and to be feared. In reaction to this view, many African American and Latino writers and filmmakers have forged powerful images of community and effort. This course focuses on films and literary texts that take up the imagery of the ghetto and its role in modern American society. In addition, students consider the role of the inner city as the crucible for hip hop culture, including its international manifestations. (Jiménez, offered alternate years)

AFRICANA STUDIES 202: Women's Narratives in Post-Apartheid South Africa
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
This course makes students aware of the importance of people in any culture having a voice in the events that influence their lives and examines the contributions of South African women to their history and culture. In the post-apartheid period (since 1994) women's narratives, autobiographies, novels, stories and plays have emerged as a rich source of information about the hidden and silenced majority. These narratives navigate between history and literature reconfiguring women's roles in South African history and culture. The literary texts can in this way contribute to the restoration of women's places and rewriting their history and contributions. No prerequisites. (Pin to, Fall, offered alternate year
