SUMMARY:Year of Global Africa: Eye on Africa: Ch. Didier Gondola, 
DESCRIPTION:
 In the early 1950s, young people in Kinshasa, 
 Belgian Congo, became infatuated with the figure 
 of Buffalo Bill as images of the famed plainsman 
 unreeled on the screens of their makeshift 
 movie parlors. This talk will explore the 
 grayish areas of the in-between zones where 
 culture meets crime, dream meets drama, and 
 resistance becomes a double-edge sword that 
 liberates as much as it oppresses. Speaker Ch. 
 Didier Gondola is a Professor of African History 
 and Africana Studies at IUPUI. \n
