Response Paper 4 The Pursuit of Happiness, Bianca Williams.

Words: 249
Pages: 1
Subject: Uncategorized

For this response paper, students are to reflect on the Williams ethnographic
depiction of Black American tourists and the “pursuit of happiness.” In her
ethnography, Williams discusses the struggle of African American women to negotiate
citizenship and belonging in the United States. Due to ideas of transnationalism, they
seek belonging in the experiences as tourists in Jamaica. For this response, students
should analyze the relationship between race, citizenship, and space in the experiences
of African American women in the ethnography. Key questions are: what experiences of
belonging do Black women navigate in Jamaica and the United States, what makes these
women seek happiness in Jamaica, what ideas about race, gender, and sexuality do they
have to negotiate, how does Williams interpret these experiences, and what conclusions
can be drawn about anthropology as a method of researching these experiences.
Each response should be approximately 3 pages, double spaced, 12 pt font.
Students should include citations throughout the paper and a work-cited page at the
end.
