Section 002 – Race, Racism, And Ethnicity In The Francophone World.
Prerequisites & Distribution: Open to Honors students. (3). (HU).
Credits: (3).
Course Homepage: No homepage submitted.
This Honors seminar will begin with discussions of colonization as a crucial historical point in order to contextualize questions of race, racism, ethnicity, gender, and class intolerance which result in instances of inequality in what is now called the Francophone world. Texts and films selected (all in English translation) will deal, on the one hand, with issues of race, racism, and ethnicity with special reference to the context of French speaking countries in Europe and their former colonies; and, on the other, with cultural diversity and its productions. An attempt will be made to compare issues involving race, racism, ethnicity, gender, and class in different parts of the French speaking world. Lectures and discussions will emphasize issues of religion (e.g., Muslims in Francophone countries) of gender and of social class within specific ethnic communities as well as between ethnic groups (e.g., North Africans versus West Africans; Asians versus Africans; European ethnic groups versus other ethnic groups) and the hegemonic societies involved e.g., France, Belgium, Switzerland and Quebec, (Canada).
Taught in English. All reading material and films are in translation.
