Class Guide: Non-Western Humanities (Smith-Irowa)

Eastern Hemisphere.


This guide is a starting point for finding materials for Professor Smith-Irowa's research paper.

You will need to choose a country in South/Central America, Africa, the Middle East, or Asia. You cannot choose India, Japan, or China.

You will need to research

  • the 20th century history of your country, especially indicating how your country was formed
  • modern artists in your country
  • modern musicians in your country
  • modern literature in your country
  • the current political structure. Who is the leader of your country? When were elections last held? When will they be held again? What is the capital of your country?

For a more complete description of the research project consult your instructor's handout.

Feel free to contact the Reference Desk or the Humanities Librarian for help.
