HIS 453 - Francophone African Lives

Institution:

Centre College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the life histories of Africans in order to learn what day-to-day life is like for many members of Francophone African societies as well as Africans living in France. In addition to reading several life-histories and watching a few films focused on African lives, students participate in the interviewing of a Francophone African and write chapters of a life history themselves. This course thus serves as an introduction to the methodology of historical research and historiography based on oral interviews rather than written sources. Conducted in Strasbourg.
