Subject: Need help with intro to lit class


I am working on my Fall 2004 syllabus on introduction to literary studies which I would like to focus on the story of Othello. I plan to start with Shakespeare's play. And then go onto a novel that retells the Othello story in the context of 20th century Senegal. 
-- Would anyone know of the name of the novelist and the title of the novel? 
-- Would the writer be Ousmane Sembene? 
-- If I am mistaken can anyone suggest another novel that has reworked this story?  
-- Also, can anyone suggest any poetry written in 19th century US on themes of race that could fit in with the Othello story?
Thanks in advance,
Nandita
