Ann Reed to give talk on Ghanian tourism Sept. 28
The Department of English announces that Ann Reed, visiting assistant professor of anthropology, will present "'We Are Not Tourists!': In-Between Spaces in African American Travel to Ghana," Thursday, Sept. 28, at 4 p.m. in 300 Merrifield Hall. Reed's presentation illustrates how mixed messages of connection and alienation are caught up in the heritage travel of African Americans to Ghana. The in-between spaces occupied by Ghanaians and African Americans in these circumstances complicate earlier anthropological notions of “hosts” and “guests.”
