African-American History Month
Black Suburbia – The American
Dream come true?
Lecture/discussion with Sam Fulwood III
During African-American History month we present a program on
the historical developments as well as the current status of
the American Black Middle Class. Sam Fulwood III, author of
“Waking from the Dream. My Life in the Black Middle Class”,
was an integration baby. He came of age during the postcivil
rights era, a time when middle-class black Americans embraced
a belief in the unlimited possibilities available to the new
generation. He excelled at integrated schools and believed in
the promise of a color-blind America. That goal has yet to be
realized and Fulwood questions whether it ever will –
or should. Sam Fulwood III is Senior Fellow at the Center for
American Progress.
In cooperation with the U.S. Embassy Berlin.
Entrance fee: € 5 / 3 (DAZ-members)

African-American History Month
White Suburbia – The American
Dream come true?
Lecture/discussion with Dr. Carsten Schinko
From the 1950s until today, commentators either celebrate the
suburbs as the realization of the American dream or condemn
them as the source of the worst pathologies and cultural degenerations.
How does literature and movies draw on the debates, how do they
depict suburbia? With a focus on Richard Yates (Revolutionary
Road) and Richard Ford‘s The Sportswriter, the talk will
chart the main tendencies of an aesthetics of suburbia. –
Carsten Schinko is Professor of American Literature at the Universität
Stuttgart.

The Economic Crisis and the U.S. Labor
Market
Lecture/Discussion with Howard Rosen
The deepest post-war recession has created record unemployment
in America. Even as the economy recovers, most observers expect
only a slow change in the share of people finding work again.
This means the U.S. government has to act for economic as well
as political reasons. But what possibilities does President
Obama have? Is the German Kurzarbeit scheme an option? What
alternatives are there to encourage American firms to create
more jobs? And what are the consequences for German exports?
– Howard Rosen is an economist with the Peterson Institute
for International Economics in Washington, D.C.
In cooperation with the U.S. Embassy Berlin
and the IHK Region Stuttgart.
Tuesday,
February 23, 4.30 p.m.
