HIS 272 African History from 1885
The period from the European Partition of Africa in 1885 to
Postindependence was one of the most significant and drastic eras of
change for Africans. Their relationship with the Western world
fundamentally altered African lifeways, drawing them into a global wage
labor economy, and seeing them interact in new ways with migration, the
World at War, and the Colonial Endeavor. This course will explore these
changes through the use of video, primary and secondary source materials,
CD-ROMs, art and material culture, and music. Expanding general geographic
knowledge will be highly encouraged. This course is offered some spring
semesters.
