What are the effects of globalization, mass culture and other postmodern developments on the new African writers? These are some of the questions the writers will try to answer.
As part of the Chinua Achebe Fellowship in Global African Studies, the panel is funded by a grant from Ford Foundation.

Thursday, February 5, 2004
Directed by Raoul Peck (French/ Belgian/ German/ Haitian, 2000, 115 minutes) in French with subtitles. The scramble for Africa was over. The old colonial powers in Africa, Belgium, France, Germany, England, were exhausted by World War II, and the costs of policing their far-flung empires had become prohibitive. Then too, freedom's voice was being heard in a new generation of articulate, courageous leaders who were shaping nationalist movements across the continent. There was Jomo Kenyatta. There was Nelson Mandela. And there was Patrice Lumumba.

Sembene contextualizes his heroine's triumphs and anxieties culturally and politically - in a Dakar that has shantytowns as well as high-rises, streets crowded with cattle as well as Mercedes, and women's lives who have been shaped by Wolof society, Islam, and male prejudice as much as by their cutting edge aspirations.
