Dear All, Yesterday on BBC4 Television in the UK there was a program broadcast called THE GREAT HIP-HOP HOAX, about a duo posing as Californian artistes who were actually from Dundee, Scotland. The program offered a fascinating insight into how "American" stereotypes are assumed and offer a passport to success that perhaps are denied to members of other nations. I'd like to commission a review of the program for the JOURNAL OF AMERICAN STUDIES IN TURKEY (www.asat-jast.org), a biannual journal devoted to cutting-edge material in American and comparative studies. I'd offer 750-1000 words with a December 21 deadline. The program can be accessed via the BBC IPlayer until next Wednesday at 23.30 via the following link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03cxf8y/Storyville_20132014_The_Great_Hip_Hop_Hoax/ To find out more about the journal, go to www.asat-jast.org, log in using the name L_Raw, password 12345, and then go to Jast/Issues. The link will not work using Internet Explorer but will work with all other browsers. Laurence Laurence Raw, Baskent University. Department of English, Ankara, Turkey.
