Peter Nazareth (born 27 April 1940) is a Ugandan-born critic and writer of fiction and drama.〔Simawe, Saadi A. ("Creating a Nation: Peter Nazareth as Literary Critic" ), ''Asiatic'' 3.1 (2009): 1. Accessed 13 December 2010.〕 ==Life== Peter Nazareth was born in Uganda of Goan and Malaysian ancestry, and was educated at Makerere University (Kampala, Uganda) and at the universities of London and Leeds in England. While residing in Africa, he simultaneously served as senior finance officer in Idi Amin's finance ministry until 1973, when he accepted a fellowship at Yale University (United States) and emigrated from Uganda. He is currently professor of English and African-American World Studies at the University of Iowa (United States), where he is also a consultant to the International Writing Program. Nazareth attracted major media attention for teaching that university's popular course "Elvis as Anthology," which explores the deep mythological roots of Elvis Presley's roles in popular culture. His literary criticisms have been enriched by his trenchant observations of the fate of diverse global economic and academic migrants, spanning the Asian, African and black American cultural histories. This includes specifically, the Goan diaspora settled in Western countries, the post-Idi Amin Asian emigration from Eastern Africa and of the cultural superstitions of the pre-Obama presidency of American politics. He has been married to Mary Nazareth for more than 50 years. They have two daughters, Kathleen, a software engineer, and Monique, a former producer of ''The Diane Rehm Show'', ''Fresh Air with Terry Gross'' and Monitor Radio, who currently works for "Knowledge@Wharton" on SiriusXM's business channel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Nazareth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
