Subject: [SEELANGS] Africans in Russian literature and film

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
