HIST

Cross-listed:  History   This course provides an overview of the history of sub-Saharan Africa during the pre-colonial and colonial periods, with an emphasis on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We will organize our study by focusing on several major themes: the relationship between Africa’s linkages to the world and local historical dynamics on the continent; changing political structures and popular agency within them; slavery, empire, and economic transformations; gender and social change; shifting constructions of race, ethnicity, and identity; and the stakes of conceptualizing African history in the present. To ground our analysis we will pay particular attention to a number of case studies from across the sub-Saharan African continent, and draw upon a range of materials including secondary historical literature, primary sources, novels, and visual arts.
