Introduction
This is the Library's course assessment for:
FPA 308 (formerly FPA 388): West African History and Culture
FPA 309 (formerly FPA 329): African Dance and Music in Performance
FPA 408 (formerly FPA 389): Theory and Structure of Ghanaian Music and Dance
These courses will be offered as part of the Ghana Field School Program. While much of the time spent in these courses will be in Ghana, the offerings will likely spark interest in this subject area both before and after students attend. Therefore, based on the reading list that accompanied these proposals, there are gaps in our collection that need to be filled. The following titles are from the reading lists for these courses, and are currently not in our collection. Titles in red may not be available for purchase.
