Africatown and The Alabama-Benin Trade Forum | AWARE! | WSRE
Host Dee Dee Sharp and her guests discuss the relationship between Alabama and the African nation of Benin, and how the relationship began with the establishment of Africatown, a community of former slaves. Also known as Africatown USA and Plateau, it is a historic settlement located north of Mobile, Alabama. It was formed by West Africans who were among the last known illegal shipment of slaves to the U.S. from Africa in 1860, after the Atlantic slave trade had been banned. Creating their own community, these people retained their West African language and customs for many years following the end of the Civil War. The panel includes Elder Makinde A. Gbolahan and Henry Haseeb with the Alabama-Benin Trade Forum, and, via telephone, Dr. Sharon Ingram, CEO and Chairman of the Alabama-Benin Trade Forum. In addition to the historical overview, the panelists also discuss the opportunities that exist for trade and cultural exchange with Benin and West Africa.
Symposium of Architectural History The Whiteness of 19th Century American Architecture
This symposium examines the racial discourses that subtended American Architecture movements during the long nineteenth century. Explore this site to learn more about the specific themes, case studies and speakers that will be featured at this event. The Whiteness of American Architecture is organized by Charles Davis II, UB assistant professor of architecture.
About the symposium
“The Whiteness of 19th Century American Architecture” is a one-day symposium in architectural history organized by the School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo. This symposium is an outgrowth of the Race + Modern Architecture Project, an interdisciplinary workshop on the racial discourses of western architectural history from the Enlightenment to the present.
Participants
- Professor Mabel O. Wilson, Columbia GSAPP
- Dianne Harris, senior program officer at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
- Joanna Merwood-Salisbury, architectural historian
- Kathryn ‘Kate’ Holliday, architectural historian
- Charles Davis, assistant professor of architectural history and criticism at the University at Buffalo
Race + Modern Architecture Project
Race + Modern Architecture logo
The “Whiteness & American Architecture” symposium continues the research that began with the Race + Modern Architecture Project, a workshop conducted at Columbia University in 2013. The forthcoming co-edited volume, Race and Modern Architecture presents a collection of seventeen groundbreaking essays by distinguished scholars writing on the critical role of racial theory in shaping architectural discourse, from the Enlightenment to the present. The book, which grows out of a collaborative, interdisciplinary, multi-year research project, redresses longstanding neglect of racial discourses among architectural scholars. With individual essays exploring topics ranging from the role of race in eighteenth-century, Anglo-American neoclassical architecture, to 1970s radical design, the book reveals how the racial has been deployed to organize and conceptualize the spaces of modernity, from the individual building to the city to the nation to the planet.

Purpose and Themes
Our symposium will outline a critical history of the white cultural nationalisms that have proliferated under the rubric of American Architecture during the long nineteenth century. This theme will be explored chronologically from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century and regionally from representative avant-garde movements on the East Coast to the regionalist architectural styles of the Midwest and West Coast. Such movements included the neoclassical revivals of the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, the Chicago School of Architecture and the Prairie Style, the East Bay Style on the West Coast, the Arts & Crafts movement across the continent, and various interwar movements that claimed to find unique historical origins for an autochthonous American style of building.
The five architectural historians in attendance have been charged with providing some preliminary answers to the central question of these proceedings:
What definitions of American identity have historically influenced the most celebrated national architectural movements of the long nineteenth century, and how was this influence been manifested in the labor relations, ideological commitments and material dimensions of innovative architectural forms?

Hotel Turismo - Ethnic documentary on Formosa, Argentina (Multi-Sub)
Hotel Turismo is a lighthearted documentary, filmed in Argentina, about life in the past and expectations for the future of the native tribes of Formosa.
Formosa is the northest province in Argentina, on the border with Paraguay. Formosa is also the name of its capital. It is the center of industry and has always been a tourist resort for Argentinians.
After the devaluation of Peso, in 2002, investments have been made in order to turn the city and its province into an international paradise for tourists. Anyway, if you travel just a few miles from the Capital, you can realize how poor the remaining of the territory is.
The local community is made by natives, who have lived, so far, almost totally separated from the rest of the world.
Today they are at a turning point: on the one side, preserve their traditions and protect their life style; on the other, accept the price of development and adapt to the changes caused by the promotion of tourism.

Cherokee
The Cherokee are a Native American people historically settled in the Southeastern United States . They speak an Iroquoian language. In the 19th century, historians and ethnographers recorded their oral tradition that told of the tribe having migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples were. They began to have contact with European traders in the 18th century. American colonist, Henry Timberlake, described the Cherokee nation as he saw it in 1761:
