LSHS-425 Contemporary Africa

LSHS-425 Contemporary Africa
Herbert Howe
"Comtemporary Africa" examines the political, economic and security concerns of contemporary sub-Saharan Africa. We will look at the major influences upon African politics: the colonial legacy, ethnicity's rallying and dividing ability, the contemporary calls for economic and political reform (structural adjustment and democratization), the specter of AIDS, and the desirability of Western military intervention. The class will have a central textbook and three novels (Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and Man of the People and Andre Brink's A Dry White Season). Most classes will have about one hundred pages of reading, not counting the novels.
