Although this course ranges across Sub-Saharan Africa, certain areas will be visited multiple times, including several ‘global’ perspectives, building up our regional knowledge in order to better appreciate certain key works. Course readings also feature the range of methodological tools employed by historians of Africa, who borrow liberally from social anthropology, historical linguistics, and Marxist and Weberian sociology. Students are expected to have done all of the week’s required reading by the time we meet. Those students who will be presenting on a given week are also expected to delve deeply into the week’s recommended readings, and others are encouraged to do so, as individual interests direct and time permits. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
