Cross-listed: Anthropology, EUS, SRE The image and idea of Sub-Saharan Africa
will be explored from the period of first contact in the 15th
century, through colonialism and into the post colonial present. Explorer and
traveler accounts, fiction, memoirs and ethnographies written by Europeans,
Arabs and Africans will constitute the core readings for the course. The goal
of the course is to understand how outsiders saw Africa, defined Africa and
shaped the idea of Africa, and how Africans responded, resisted and reshaped
these ideas. A series of films will be shown in conjunction with our readings.

This course focuses on the confrontation of early-modern African and
European political thought and practices of captivity, especially, abduction,
wartime hostage-taking, slavery, and other forms of internment. Captivity in
the early modern world engages questions of war and ransom as much as labor,
religion, and race. It involves contracts, written or not, for renting,
selling, buying, and freeing people. As such, captivity figures prominently in
the so-called laws of war and peace. The language of the law, here, indicates
varying degrees of legitimacy and becomes a touchstone for the changing
morality of societies--with profound consequences for understandings of gender
and power. Students will write an Africa-centered paper based on primary
research.
