Africa and the media: changing aspects of communication (a working bibliography)
African Studies Center Working Paper No. 17INTRODUCTION:
Each year the annual meeting of the African Studies Association has
a general theme, on which a major portion of the panels are presented. The
Bibliography Sub-committee of the Archives-Libraries Committee of ASA has
unqertaken the project of preparing a working bibliography on the theme
of each year's annual meeting.
The theme of the 1979 meeting, "Africa and the Media: Changing Aspects
of Communication", is broad in its scope, challenging and exciting in its
impact, and particularly well-suited for a survey of the literature.
There is a great deal written about communication and media in and about
Africa, in a variety of sources. This bibliography will attempt to pull
some of the available sources together, to indicate continuing sources of
information, and to mention projects which are in progress or in planning
stages.
A working paper presents, in a preliminary format, ideas and information
for comment and criticism. It is a starting point for a more finished and
polished piece of work. A working bibliography is essentially the same kind
of preliminary production, a starting point for further work on the part of
individual scholars. Obviously it is not an exhaustive survey of the state
of the art.
The bibliography will address two aspects of the theme: (1) Africa
in United States and World Media and (2) Media in Africa. Types of media
to be covered are the press, broadcasting, theatre, cinema, publishing
and educational media. The approximate cutoff date was set at 1970. Most
citations were noted at Boston University, Library of Congress, Northwestern
University, Univensity of Illinois and Yale University. The coordinating
editor will attempt to supply location information for interlibrary loan
or consultation. Since some citations have been obtained from indexing
services, locations in the United States cannet necessarily be guaranteed

And the Youth Shall See Visions: The Jewish Experience in Champaign-Urbana and the Founding of Hillel
Throughout American history, America\u27s Jews lived in a mixed environment, one that both offered them the possibility of acceptance and demanded a certain level of conformity as its price. While antisemitism in America neither reached the level of virulence nor enjoyed the official sanction that it did in other parts of the world, it nonetheless has almost always been a part of the American Jewish experience, especially during the first half of the twentieth century. Much of American antisemitism was expressed through various forms of social discrimination (that was not always strictly social), justified by the image of Jewish undesirability, which punished American Jews for both clannishness and trying too hard to become part of the American mainstream. This type of discrimination was particularly evident in the lives of Jewish college and university students.
During this era, the most common Jewish response to anti-Jewish prejudice was one of accommodation and assimilation, downplaying ones\u27 Jewish identity in an effort to fit into mainstream American society, a strategy especially common among Jewish college and university students. The combination of a social environment that demanded conformity, and just as significantly, scant access to Jewish religious or cultural activities, gave the average Jewish-American college student little incentive to identify as a Jew. The B\u27nai B\u27rith Hillel Foundations, the brainchild of Rabbi Benjamin Frankel and Edward Chauncy Baldwin, a non-Jewish English professor, filled this Jewish void beginning in 1923 at the University of Illinois. Hillel provided Jewish students across the United States with a source of positive Jewish identification, which in turn helped to reduce anti-Jewish prejudice both on campuses and in the larger American community.
This thesis, therefore, includes not only the early history of the University of Illinois Hillel itself, but of the surrounding Jewish community in Champaign and Urbana, Illinois, as well as a contextual overview of the American Jewish experience before, during, and after Hillel\u27s founding. The sources range from previously published histories of the Hillel foundation movement to manuscript collections and oral histories, as well as more general works concerning the American Jewish experience and the history of college life
