Abstract:Tarzan and Terrs (terrorists, the white Rhodesian contraction for liberation movement soldiers) are what students see. The teacher's challenge is to assist students in understanding Africa in spite of and through those images. The author, professor at the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan, comments on the goals and problems of using films on Africa in the classroom, by reviewing briefly different teaching strategies for using films and then commenting on specific films he uses and the challenges they present. App., notes.
