Cultural traditions assignment

An Annotated Bibliography helps a researcher keep track of sources that are possible for use within the writing. Your sources should be on a topic of your choosing that you pull from the Banana book. The topic you choose for your Annotated Bibliography will be the topic for your Multimodal project and Final Research paper. This Annotated Bibliography will be a stepping stone helping you find the resources for your final projects in this course. The Annotated Bibliography includes all possible sources…..not just the sources actually used for your final paper. For example your Annotated Bibliography may have 15 sources on it but you may decide to only use 10 of the sources for your writing because once you thoroughly investigated the sources you found out the others weren’t as connected to your topic as you had originally thought. Elements of an Annotated Bibliography DO NOT copy/paste an abstract from a source. This is not appropriate for many reasons but mainly because doing so means 1) You are cheating/plagiarizing by using someone else’s words for your work and 2) you are not fulfilling the purpose of the assignment which is to note how a source could be helpful for your research. DO think outside the box when considering sources for your topic (i.e. journal articles videos interviews etc.)

DO include between 10-15 sources on your Annotated Bibliography. Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry (note: The entry should be double spaced and have a hanging indent. Moodle will not let me show this on a file page.)

Bhabha Homi K. The Location of Culture. New York: Routledge 2004. Print. An interesting understanding of how we produce culture through the principle of cultural hybridity. Bhabha provides examples and definitions of the concepts of mimicry interstice hybridity and liminality. All of his ideas are under the umbrella of postcolonial theory. Since I am writing about asThe Man to Send Rain Clouds” I am particularly interested in Bhabha’s ideas about hybridity because the Native Americans are struggling to keep their cultural traditions while constantly intersecting with the Preacher and his cultural traditions.
