Dash and Gerima on What is an African American

  • Summary

  • A discussion of Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust and Haile Gerima's Sankofa, centered on the question "What is an African American?" I explore how Dash answers this question by filtering the memory of Africa through the "American" part of African American, but Gerima inverts this prerogative and understands the "American" to be a sign of alienation that is redeemed by "African."
