This course introduces some of the most prominent social, political, historical and cultural narratives regarding the continent of Africa. The goal is to untangle what many politicians and policymakers see as the ‘dilemma’ of the African state. The class explores several overarching questions: what are the assumptions embedded in the notion of African thought and society? How do these assumptions shape the social, political and economic dynamics within and between the fifty-four plus African countries existing today? We will explore key ideas of thinkers such as Frantz Fanon, Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere and Leopold Senghor and investigate how their notions of ‘being African’ compare. We will consider the definition of ‘African state’ and consider how it fits into the international relations arena. Why has democratization been so difficult for many of the countries on the continent? Are notions such as famine, conflict and genocide accurate summations of the African state, or are these concepts empty frames that over-simplify the situation(s)? By the end of the course we might not have definitive answers for these questions, but we will have a more complex intellectual picture of African states and society.
