African History Before 1870

HIST 217
Spring 2008 not offered

Adaptation, exchange, and mobility characterized African history before the era of formal European colonialism. This course examines these themes across all the regions of the continent including ancient Egypt, the West African sahel, the Swahili coast, and southern Africa. We also analyze how source materials shape our understanding of state-building, the slave trade, and the spread of Islam and Christianity.
