The Mediation of Global Blackness

Ousmane Sembene and Richard Wright

Sponsored by College of Letters, Arts, & Sciences, Francophone Resource Center and the Department of French and Italian

Fri, February 18, 2005 from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm

Admission: Free

Taper Hall of Humanities (THH)
University Park Campus

Dominic Thomas from the University of California at Los Angeles explores the mediation between the work of Senegalese novelist and filmmaker Ousmane Sembene and African-American writer Richard Wright, both of whom resided in France during the 1940s.

Thomas addresses the various ways in which both African and African American writers were engaged in a complex process of delineating the coordinates of a "global blackness."
