FREEDOM AND STRUGGLE IN MODERN AFRICA

Description

Description: This course explores how slavery, anti-colonial, anti-imperial, anti-racism, and anti-capitalist struggles had a profound impact on Africa and the world. These seismic conflicts resulted in significant psychological, spiritual, and physical traumas that are still keenly felt in Africa today. In this course, students will get a sample of some of these traumas that Africans encountered and the ideological painkillers they concocted to address them. Thus, students will become familiar with systems, ideologies, and terms such as slavery, apartheid, socialism and communism in Africa, Pan-Africanism, Black Consciousness, female suicide bombers, neo-colonialism, and the psychological encounter between the colonized and colonizer.
