FREN 425 - Islamic Cultures in French-Speaking

Credits: (3)
This course focuses on the often over-looked francophone countries of Mauretania, Chad and Djibouti which possess a common cultural heritage as bilingual nations using Arabic as their second official language alongside French. While considering the commonality of the cultural experiences of these countries, the course also examines the differences that geography and ethnography have produced in these Islamic francophone countries. Prerequisite(s): FREN 102 Beginning French II (3) or equivalent.
