Kommentar
In the era of globalisation, it has become important for scholars to have at the minimum, basic understanding not only of global trends, but also of how individual world regions have come to fit into the international system. Africa has been one of the regions often missing from attempts to develop a global understanding of history and politics. This course, to be delivered in English, will help to introduce participants to Africa. It is an undergraduate course designed as a general introduction to African history and politics. It introduces participants to the main themes and ideas in the history and contemporary politics of the continent. Major themes covered include precolonial African societies, African encounters with outsiders, and the position of the continent in world politics. The course is subdivided in three parts so that themes can be discussed within the context of global historical and political moments. As an introductory course, participants do not require prior knowledge of the continent. However, they are expected to show key interest in all activities related to the course. At the end of the course, participants are expected to be familiar with the main themes discussed, and should be able to identify and briefly explain the importance of each topic to the making of contemporary Africa.
