AMERICA AND ITS OTHERS

Friday, December 13
New York University
Surdna North, Tisch Hall, 3d floor
40 West Fourth St (corner of Greene Street)

9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

America has always defined itself against its "Others," who have taken new shapes in the context of the media revolution we are living through. Recent events sharply pose the question: what and where is America vis-a-vis the others it distinguishes itself from? On Dec 13, NYU will host a conference, "America and Its Others," on cultural and political histories of America as act and idea.

PLEASE RSVP to Elena McCalla (elena.mccalla@nyu.edu) or to Arvind Rajagopal (ar67@nyu.edu) to reserve a seat. Limited availability of seats.
