HIS 31A African History to 1900
Introduces students to African History, from the very beginning of Homo sapiens to the dawn of European colonialism across the continent. In this long journey, we are guided by the contributions brought by Africanist historiography to history as a field of knowledge and to the public debate. Course considers the way we think of history, how it impacts non-Western societies, and how learning about the African past enables us to better understand the historical roots of our time. To achieve this, course looks attentively at African societies from within.
