Mira Nair - Mississippi Masala

Thinking Points

• We'll finish watching the movie. Reviews are due on Thursday, Dec., 4.
• Please bring the drafts of your final essay to class on Thursday for a peer review session.
• As you watch the film, please take notes. Keep in mind that the review must focus on some of the key issues that were raised in the Bharati Mukherjee documentary and the discussions of the stories in The Middleman and Other Stories. Focus too on the politics of immigration and immigrant identity, race relations and perceptions of immigrants, foreignness, identity and immigrant perceptions of the American dream.
