CLS 130 - African Cultures
3 credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the modern history and culture of Africa and examines major themes relating to European conquest and imperialism, the development of the colonial economy, African responses to colonialism and the rise of nationalist movements that eventually achieved independence. Discussions about the post-colonial present, exploring recent socioeconomic transformations, continuities, as well as struggles over political authority, ethnic identity, gender, religion, media, popular culture, and access to resources, will be featured. The course will examine these themes by applying them to case studies of specific African nation-states.
