HIST 265 - INTRODUCTION TO AFRICAN HISTORY

Hours: 5
Students will sample the history of human societies across the vast African continent. Topics that we will explore include: early hominids, Ancient Egypt, Meroe, and Axum, the trans-Saharan trade, the Bantu Migrations, the arrival of Islam, the medieval empires, European incursions and colonization, and the era of independence. Along the way we will listen to some music, view images of artwork, and touch on some religious and social values.
