HIST 1500 - African History to 1800

Hours: 4
The course explores the history of human societies across the African continent to 1800. This survey introduces themes of political, economic, and social change in Africa and familiarizes students with Africa’s long history of connection to other world regions. Topics include: migration and agricultural change; trade and trans-regional interactions; state-building; and religious movements. Students will explore the diversity of sources that historians use to access the African past—from oral traditions, traveler’s tales, and official documents to archeological evidence and material culture.
