This class explores the impact of European colonialism on Sub-Saharan Africa (1800-1970s). The course themes examine the formation and decline of African states; indigenous resistance and adaptation to white rule, including Western imperialisms; the emergence of anti-colonial nationalism; and African human rights campaigns that changed global politics. We also study how scholars interpret African history following the abolition of New World slavery and the rise of evangelical Christianity.
