\nDISCUSSION BOARD ASSIGNMENT #1\u00a0 (TOTAL: 500 words minimum)
\nIn 250 words, please respond to both\u00a0of the following questions.
\n1) Please explain in your own words what Ferguson means by the following statement: \u201cBut as the contemporary African material shows so vividly, the \u2018global\u2019 does not \u2018flow,\u2019 thereby connecting and watering contiguous spaces; it hops instead, efficiently connecting the enclaved points in the network while excluding (with equal efficiency) the spaces that lie between the points.\u201d Why is this relevant to the social life of people in Africa?
\n2) In your opinion, do you think that Sassen would attribute some of Covid\u2019s disproportionate impact on people of color to globalization? Explain why or why not. Please see the data here for reference: https:\/\/data.newamericaneconomy.org\/en\/immigrant-workers-at-risk-coronavirus\/\u00a0(Links to an external site.)
\nIn an additional 250 words, please respond to both\u00a0of the following.
\n1) Why does Farish Noor compare historical records that might appear contradictory in the way that they acknowledge, or erase, colonial violence in Southeast Asia?
\n2) Mann mentions that a \u201cdomestic racism\u201d and an \u201cinternational racism\u201d are connected. What does this mean? In her eyes, are these also connected to domestic and overseas expansion?
