Course Description
A survey of key themes, trajectories, and trends in contemporary African politics. It analyzes political and economic development on the continent since the dawn of independence in the late 1950s. Although largely focused on Sub-Saharan Africa, the course will nevertheless touch upon linkages and connections with North Africa as well as diasporic influences and inspirations especially in the pan-African struggles for independence and the forging of new sovereign nation-states.
