Section Information for Fall 2011
This course is an introduction to the peoples and cultures of Sub-Sahara Africa from the dramatic discoveries of human origins, to the Portuguese presence on the Swahili coast. Its main themes are change and continuity. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, the student will be introduced to the great ancient African civilizations, traditional societies, and achievements of the African past. We shall explore the expanding world system, aspects of social change, and the African encounter with the greater world community. Of primary concern are questions which help us to understand Africa today and to view things from African perspectives.Tags:
