The African diapora--a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade and Western colonialism--has generated a wide array of artistic achievements, from the "shotgun" houses of New Orleans to the urban graffiti of NYC. The course surveys several major cultural groups in West and Central Africa and their aesthetic impact on the arts, religions, and philosophies of peoples of African descent in South America, the Caribbean, and the United States.

American Colony: Architectural Evolution

The full description of the architectural evolution of the nineteenth century Palestinian house into the 5 star American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem can be read in the Journal of Post Medieval Archaeology, 2011. This Google-Sketchup reconstruction is the product of a workshop on digital technologies at Duke University in the summer of 2010. I am grateful to those acknowledged at the end of the animation.
