changes to syllabus for week of 3/24-26

Due to the technical difficulties that I had with the cartoons on Monday, I have made the following changes to the syllabus

for Wed, 3/12
--we will watch the cartoons originally scheduled for Mon, 3/10
--reaction paper #5 is now due on Mon, March 24
--disregard readings on syllabus for Wed 3/12

for Mon, 3/24
--reaction paper #5 on the cartoons due (see previous blog post for specific assignment)
--readings: Lauren Sklaroff article, "Constructing G.I. Joe Louis: Cultural Solutions to the 'Negro Problem' during World War II," Journal of American History (Dec 2002), pp.958-983. Available on Jstor.
--NOTE: I know there are times where I assign readings more for your reflection in reaction papers and we don't discuss them in class, and I also know that some of you aren't doing them as a result. Fair warning...we WILL talk about this article on Monday and I expect you to come to class prepared to do so.

for Wed, 3/26
--film: The Negro Soldier
--
readings: Thomas Cripps and David Culbert article "The Negro Soldier (1944): Film Propaganda in Black and White," American Quarterly (Winter, 1979), pp. 616-640. Available on Jstor.


for Fri, 3/28
--email research paper progress report/rough draft by 5:00pm. Please do so as attachment.
