Subject:

Description:

Africana Studies This course examines the British African colonies of the early 20th century and the everyday lives of their colonists. These "outsiders" are studiedthrough history, biography, fiction, and film, as well as through the responses of Africans. Various dichotomies-hypocrisy vs. idealism, brutality vs. bravery, racism vs. humanism-are considered as the course seeks to develop an ethnographic portrayal of the rulers and the cultures they created in these colonies; not British, not African, but something very much "other."
