HST-1070 - History of Africa (3)


Prerequisite: ENG 0900  RDG 0800 ;

Students survey the history of sub-Saharan Africa with particular emphasis on its modern era, a period of profound social, economic, cultural, and political transformation. Importantly, students will gain exposure to the African perspective while examining key historical developments that shaped, and continue to shape, the continent. Notable historical benchmarks covered in the class include the following: ancient African civilizations, the arrival and spread of Islam and Christianity, the development of the global slave system, European colonization, the rise of African nationalism, decolonization, the emergence of independent African states, globalization and the failure of nationalism, and human rights issues, including apartheid, genocide, and the spread of AIDS, to cite a few.
