This course offers a historical survey of sub-Saharan
Africa from 1800 to the present. Because the scope of the course is
so broad and because African history is such a vast and complex subject, we
will inevitably leave a great deal unexplored.
However, a primary aim of the course is to provide you with a foundation
of knowledge upon which you can continue to build long after the semester has
ended. To this end, the course has been designed to introduce the outlines of
African history and to cultivate an appreciation of Africa, its peoples,
cultures, expressions, and experiences.
Major themes include slavery in Africa; the decline of the
trans-Atlantic slave trade; trade; African state formation; the Islamic
revolutions of the 19th century; Mfecane: colonial rule; nationalism; and
contemporary issues in Africa. Within the context of each of these themes, we
will consider the importance of factoring gender into historical analysis.
