Coffee Coloured Children (review)
Coffee Coloured Children, part of the "Lights on African Program" curated by Mahen Bonetti for the "Africa: The Arts of a Continent" exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, evokes for American audiences the aesthetic tremors and cultural aftershocks of what within the exhibition remains primarily a continental affair. At the center of director Ngozi Onwurah's short semi-autobiographical film is the familiar "color line", a term coined by W.E.B Dubois in his 1904 treatise on African/European relations in America, The Souls of Black Folk.
