Title: Legacies of Colonialism and Liberation in Modern Africa
Subtitle:
Description: This class explores the impact of European colonialism on Sub-Saharan Africa (1800-1970s). The course themes examine indigenous resistance and adaptation to white rule, the rise of anti-colonial nationalism, and African human rights campaigns that changed global politics. We also study how scholars interpret African history in the wake of the Atlantic slave trade.
