HIST-414 Resistance and rebellion in Africa
Spring only
This course will use literature, historical sources, film, and academic writing to examine African resistance to European conquest and colonial rule in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Case studies will examine military rebellions, religious and cultural resistance, and women's movements. The use of these anti-colonial struggles to build a nationalist history will be critically examined in an attempt to reassess the nature of African nationalism more generally. More recent conflicts will also be of central concern, as we examine the historical roots of new ethnic and regional political and military alliances. Among the areas we will consider are South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda, Sudan, and Congo/Zaire/DRC.
