AFRICAST 139A: Forgotten Africa (ANTHRO 139A, ARCHLGY 139A)

This course provides a general, introductory survey of Africa's past from prehistoric times into the 19th-century. Through lectures, readings, discussions, museum visits, debates and film, we will explore Africa's rich and dynamic past, juxtaposing the material remains of empires, states and cities with historical constructs of Africa as timeless, isolated and underdeveloped. The course begins with a critical examination of how we view Africa and its past and how the very concept of `Africa' changes throughout time. The course critically questions the usefulness of the prehistory/history divide and problematizes how Africa has served as an ethnographic font for examples of tribal life. We will challenge Western depictions of Africa as a dark continent `without history' by highlighting the continent's vibrant cultures, sophisticated technologies, dynamic and complex political systems and participation in far-reaching commercial networks, all predating the arrival of modern Europeans. The course ends with the transoceanic slave trade and nascent European colonialism and illuminates the roles these histories played in the production of negative and inaccurate images of Africa in contemporary discourse.
