HIST-417 Gender and Generation in Twentieth-Century Africa
Fall only
This course will look at changes in relations between men and women, and between old and young people, in African societies in the colonial and post-colonial eras. Many scholars of Africa have argued that the concepts of gender and generation are key to understanding Africa's political, legal and economic history. Using case studies from around the continent, we will consider how ideologies of gender and generation have been created in Africa and how they have been challenged or perpetuated in the colonial and post-colonial periods. We will examine the distribution of economic resources and political power, as well as institutions such as legal systems, religion, marriage, kinship and inheritance.
