Friday, March 5, 2010, a book talk on “Bollywood Weddings” by Kavita Ramdya, please join us for a co-sponsored event by the New York University Asian / Pacific / American Institute, Symposium on “Decolonizing ‘America’s Pacific'”, from 9AM to 5:30PM, at NYU Silver Center, 100 Washington Sq. East, Hemmerdinger Hall, 1st Floor, Manhattan.
This symposium rethinks the conventional categories of U.S. history, and will be the first of a series of symposia exploring the multiple movements of people, practices, goods, and ideas in and through Oceania – what Fijian philosopher Epeli Hau’ofa has called “a sea of islands.”
This event is free and open to the public. To register, please visit www.apa.nyu.edu, email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu, or call 212-992-9653.
