FREN 249 - The French-Speaking World In the 21st Century


An interdisciplinary analysis of the problematic role of French language and the culture it represents in various parts of the world, emphasizing French-speaking Africa, the Maghreb, and the Antilles. Through literature, social texts, and film we explore such issues as tradition and modernity; the negritude movements; the Algerian war; women and Islam; conflicts between indigenous and French social codes.
