This course will survey the history of Africa in its modern period. We will study the advent and establishment of European imperial systems on the continent, the impacts of colonial rule and how Africans responded to it, and complicate our ideas about complicity and resistance.

For independent Africa, we will examine issues of nation building, development, and social issues. Distribution area: alternative voices.
