Achebe's Work, Postcoloniality, And Human Rights, Eric Sipyinyu Njeng
Achebe's Work, Postcoloniality, And Human Rights, Eric Sipyinyu Njeng
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Achebe's Work, Postcoloniality, and Human Rights" Eric Sipyinyu Njeng argues that Chinua Achebe exposes failings in the fabric of African society and engages with violations of human rights.

Deslanting The Lens, Lui Amador
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Deslanting the Lens examines the historical and sociological implications of how Asian men have been represented in popular American film. From the early days of “yellowface” to caricatures like Long Duck Dong, Asian men have been relegated to perpetual foreigner status in American cinema. This paper will explore why the portrayal of Asian men has been limited to very specific ideas about Asian and Asian Americans are in society. This analysis will also include how socio/political events have shaped and influence popular perceptions about Asians, that inform how Asian men continue to be depicted in film.
