ANTH 3200 - African Ethnography

Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This course explores contemporary ethnographic research in Sub-Saharan Africa. Though often essentialized in western media, Africa is a large and diverse continent, encompassing a variety of cultural, political, economic, historical, and ecological circumstances. While not minimizing the challenges Africa faces, this course will move beyond the stereotypes to look through an anthropological lens at some of the complex and dynamic experiences of modern Africa. Ethnographic reading for the course will explore the themes of identity, gender, intimacy, violence, witchcraft, urbanization, development, corruption, health, and globalization.
