<p>Oh come on you know you were as excited upon seeing it as I was :)</p>
<p>yeah, although there was nothing particularly exciting in it. It was kind of neat to get the summer reading stuff though, it looks interesting.</p>
<p>I was freaknig out about reading a book as I would in high school,
but these types of articles are always welcome.
:D</p>
<p>this summer reading is lame...we shouldn't have to do it.</p>
<p>can anyone mention the books and articles here?</p>
<p>They're not books, by all means. they are excerpts or chapters out of books..</p>
<p>here is the bibliographic info amherst provided</p>
<p>"darfur: a short history of a long war" by julie flint and Alex de Waal pp.36-41, pp.126-134</p>
<p>"we wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families" by Philip Gourevitch. pp. 15-20</p>
<p>"a problem from hell: america and the age of genocide" by Samantha Power pp.503-516</p>
<p>"Quantifying Genocide in Darfur, Part 1" An essay by Eric Reeves, professor of english language and literature, smith coll. Apr. 28, 2006</p>
<p>"convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the crime of Genocide"
(from United Nations)</p>
<p>that's all. in all, not to bad, they're by no means estoeric english readings that I had to do over the course of the years. yay.</p>
<p>Not to worry. As I recall, from what D told me about last year, during orientation, the frosh were divided into groups in order to meet more people, and the readings were used as a jumping off point to get people to start talking not just about themselves, but about their beliefs, etc..</p>
