FREN 291 - Maryse Conde: I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem Credit Hours 1.5 I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem is Condé’s invention of a life story for the historical figure Tituba, the mixed-race daughter of a slave raped by an English sailor, who was the first of the formally accused witches in the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692. Condé uses legal and historical records as the basis of her fictional story, with an insistence on the symmetry between historical writing and the writing of fiction. Condé depicts in meticulous detail historical truths about Puritanism and seventeenth-century New England to evoke the drama and hysteria that ensue when the English Puritans’ beliefs collide with the religious practices of people from Africa and the Caribbean. Condé’s play, “In the Time of Revolution,” shows the impact of decisions made in Paris in the disorder following the Revolution of 1789, prior to the establishment of the Third Republic, on the people of Guadeloupe. The two literary pieces bear witness to the experiences of people whose stories are not recorded and evoke neither fiction nor history, but human truth.

FREN 292 - Tahar Ben Jelloun: French Hospitality Credit Hours 1.5 In Sand Child, Ben Jelloun recounts a Muslim father’s efforts to raise his eighth daughter as a male in order to evade Islam’s patriarchal inheritance laws. In the voice of a professional storyteller in a Marrakesh market in the 1950s, Ben Jelloun plumbs the rich Arabic oral tradition to recount the coming of age of Mohammed Ahmed. The young female man’s letters tell another story, that of Zahra, who enjoys men’s privileges, but yearns for a child. The polemical French Hospitality: Racism and North African Immigrants is no less provocative. Today, it speaks to the estimated 272 million international migrants abandoning their homes in search of work opportunities or simply to escape conflict, violence, and climate change. Ben Jelloun confronts his own Otherness in France and analyzes the relationship between the formerly colonized to their onetime colonizers, the cohabitation of Muslims amidst the Judeo-Christian majority, and the status of non-European minorities in Europe today. Both novel and essay illuminate, at intimate as well as societal levels, Ben Jelloun’s wager on the benefic power of opening of oneself to another.

HIST 154 - South Pacific World Credit Hours 3 This course offers an overview of a roughly 200 year period (1700-1900) in the history of the South Pacific.

In other words, our guiding question is, “How did the Pacific world change from its own pace of historically unfolding contexts to one that involved European colonialism and ultimately imperialism across approximately two centuries?” Our deeper purpose is two-fold: to examine how Europeans’ motives for sailing the Pacific Ocean underwent change as society itself changed back home in Europe, as well as to study broader processes of inter-cultural contact.
