Abstract
Falzetti discusses teaching a women's studies class that uses the video of spoken-word artists Yellow Rage performing on Def Poetry Jam, paired with Uma Narayan's article entitled "Essence of Culture and a Sense of History: A Feminist Critique of Cultural Essentialism." This approach encourages students to take on Narayan's rhetoric themselves since they generally lack another framework through which to discuss the message of Yellow Rage.
