Dear Colleagues,

Some of my students are doing a research project on the depiction of
Africans in Russian literature and film, as well as their treatment by
society (I realize the enormous nature of this task, but I am hoping they
will begin to scratch the surface of it and perhaps remain interested in
minority depictions and treatment in Russia after the class).  I have given
them a few places to begin, but I was wondering if any of you knew off the
top of your head some good sources.  I have already pointed them to
*Circus* and
Pushkin, as well as many works of Socialist Realism, but are there any
others that you know of that would be good sources?  I am thinking in
particular of a documentary about Pushkin and Jim Patterson, but I can't
remember the name of it.  Thanks for any help you can give!

Sincerely,
John Lyles
