This course provides a survey of the historical developments in the African continent from the eighteenth century to the present. The course covers the changes in indigenous African cultures and states, colonialism, and issues facing independent Africa. Because of the size and diversity of African cultures, we will not be able to discuss all regions in the continent in equal depth. Throughout the course, we will be considering the sources on which African history are based.
