Title: Cultural Fusion and Hybridity in American Cuisine: A Historical Analysis

Presentation Prompt
Analyze a cultural practice or representation from the U.S. culture that illustrates cultural fusion and hybridity.
Instructions
Topics include food, dance, music, art, literature, architecture, YouTube/internet, film and television, language, festivals, fashion, or sports (you can also do a topic not on this list related to culture.)
Your analysis should be historical. You want to trace the evolution of cultural hybridity over time.
This is an in-class presentation only.
For your presentation, each student will want to have a central argument about how your topic illustrates cultural fusion, and provide examples from your research to support your argument.
There are several formats you can use. You can create a PowerPoint slide show, in which each member contributes slides, or you can create a video using the “Studio” link on the left-hand side navigation bar.
Find an article, book, or website about how your topic illustrates cultural fusion and hybridity using the LACC library databasesor websites with .org or .edu extensions. For example, if you are in the music group, you could research how rock music is influenced by different cultures, like blues and country music. Or if you are in the sports group, you might want to look at how the NBA is influenced by the recruitment of players from other cultures than the United States. Break your topic down into separate examples, with each group member focusing on one example.
Each student should have at least 4 slides, and if you are submitting an online presentation; please label your contribution to the presentation with your name.
