USA Africa Dialogue Series - Black Migration

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

 

I'm teaching an undergraduate course this Spring semester (2013) on contemporary international and transnational "B/black im/migration" ("B/black" understood broadly and as contingent). Visual material—in particular film (commercial feature and documentary)—on people's lived experiences will be integral to the course in addition to short stories, art, and music. I would be grateful for any film and internet clip recommendations in English and/or subtitled in English that focus on questions of incorporation, identity politics, "Black" diversity, race and racism, and especially tensions between "Black natives" and "Black im/migrants" (categories recognized as constructed, inhabited, and contested) in Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. This material is also of interest for an upcoming, collaborative research project on "Black im/migration." Once complied, I would be happy to share this list and circulate it. Please feel free to contact me directly at [t.keaton@vanderbilt.edu].

 

Very best,

Trica
