2 In this course we take a historical perspective on a range of issues affecting sub- Saharan Africa today. We ll begin by examining the nature of political power in precolonial Africa and its relationship with demography, environment,the impact of the slave trade and its abolition. We ll then move on to address a range of topics including: -the role of colonialism in transforming African economies and societies - artistic production and historical knowledge -the impact of the world religions -currents in African political thought in the twentieth century -aid and development, wealth and poverty -population, environment and climate change - gender and sexualities - the new scramble for African resources Throughout the course we ll critically examine questions of the production of knowledge about Africa and ask what a longer-term historical perspective has to offer for analyses of critical contemporary issues. General background reading: Kwame Anthony Appiah, In My Father s House: African in the philosophy of culture, London 1992 Frederick Cooper, Africa in the World: Capitalism, Empire, Nation-State, Harvard 2014 Frederick Cooper, Africa since 1940: the past of the present, Cambridge 2002 John Parker and Richard Rathbone, African History: a very short introduction, Oxford, 2007 John Iliffe, Africans: the history of a continent, Second edition, Cambridge Richard J.

3 Week 1 : September 3 For this first class we will all read Frederick Cooper s latest book, which began life as a set of lectures at Harvard University. In it, Cooper examines both major themes in the modern history of Africa, including, crucially, its intellectual history. Please read the whole book: Frederick Cooper, Africa in the World: Capitalism, Empire and Nation-State, Harvard Also read: Stephen Ellis, Writing Histories of Contemporary Africa, Journal of African History, 43 (2002), 1-26 In this class we will also make arrangements for the rest of the course. Week 2: September 10: Africa in the longue durée: themes and methodologies This class focuses on the deeper history of the African continent and the methodologies used to uncover that history. We ll ask whether the study of the African continent is blinded by presentism, and we ll examine debates in archaeology, on the uses of historical linguistics and of oral testimony. The reading for the class includes recent studies by historians of pre-colonial Africa on such topics as violence, motherhood and healing. R. Reid, Past and Presentism: the precolonial and the foreshortening of African history, Journal of African History, 52 (2011), David Schoenbrun, Conjuring the modern in Africa: durability and rupture in histories of public healing between the Great Lakes of Central Africa, American Historical Review, 111 (2006), David Schoenbrun, Mixing, Moving, Making, Meaning: Possible Futures for the Distant Past, African Archaeological Review, 29, 1 (2012), Rhiannon Stephens, A History of African Motherhood: The case of Uganda , Cambridge, 2013, Chapter 1: Writing Precolonial African History (pp17-38) A.B.

We will discuss the influential argument that sub-saharan Africa was characterised by labour scarcity and that its societies were therefore organised to maximise wealth in people. We ll discuss regional variation in resource endowments and in political cultures and examine the effects of the international slave trade.

Colonial rule was relatively short-lived in most parts of the continent. Does this mean that its effects were superficial? Has the impact of colonialism been over-stated? In this class we focus on the political economy of colonial rule, comparing peasant based economies of West Africa and Tanganyika with colonies of white settlement and mine-based industrialisation.

Week 6: October 15 th : Colonialism (2) In this class we focus on modes of governance in colonial Africa, comparing French and British rule. We will analyse indirect methods of rule and examine debates around coercion. How far were colonial regimes dependent on the active participation of sections of African society? Did this collaboration contribute to the ethnicisation of African politics? (see general reading for week 6) PLUS:

Fred Cooper (amongst others) has recently emphasised that not all Africans imagined the future in terms of the nation state for some a reconstituted and reformed empire seemed the way forward. In this class we ll examine those debates, as well the histories of African socialist, nationalist and pan-africanist thinking.

Development interventions in Africa have been widely critiqued, from both the right and the left. In this class we examine the debates around international aid, NGOS, and the role of the state in African economic development. We ll examine the effects of structural adjustment policies on Africa and the arguments of those who argue that African development is best left to the market.

Week 9: November 5: Religion in colonial and postcolonial Africa In this class we examine the importance of religious organisations and belief systems to the social and political history of modern Africa.

11 NO CLASS ON 19 th NOVEMBER Week 11: 26 November: Poverty, wealth and the new scramble for Africa Africa is a continent widely associated with the problem of poverty, yet in the last decade or more many parts of the continent have been experiencing high growth rates. In this class we examine the historical patterns of poverty and wealth creation on the continent and ask whether the new scramble for African resources will produce sustainably higher living standards for the continent s growing population.
