Section Info:
Description: This course explores some of the major trends in African history and historiography. It will survey the different phases of the "discipline", from the production of knowledge on Africa in Europe before the colonial period, to multiple shifts in colonial and post colonial historiography up to the early 21st century. The course will focus on methods and sources of African history, tackling issues related to archeological, oral, and written sources. Finally, the last section will concentrate on the thematic issue represented by "race and slavery in Islamic Africa". Although the course spans on different areas of the African continent, West African will appear dominantly in the readings.
