2 This is an introductory, inter-disciplinary course on the peoples and cultures of Africa, designed for students with a limited background in African studies as well as those who want to improve their understanding of this huge continent. The course is divided into two parts, one on a survey history and the other on aspects of culture. The subjects cover the long historical era known as the precolonial, which terminated at the turn of the twentieth century when Africa came under European rule. Among the main themes are: early history, kingdoms, interactions with external agencies, and various institutions and customs of society. Readings are drawn from two textbooks, two monographs. The books deal with essential outline histories and dense interpretive literature on a few issues. Films provide visual illustrations and additional perspectives. Goals i.) To use a combination of films, lectures and reading materials to introduce students to a number of themes in African history and cultures. ii.) To enable students to reflect on a number of issues in order to reach independent conclusions. iii.) To provide an adequate background that will prepare students for other courses on Africa. iv.) To improve the writing and analytical skills of students, by introducing them to the craft of history writing. Required Materials Toyin Falola, ed., Africa, Vol. 1, African History Before 1885 (Carolina Academic Press, 2000). Toyin Falola, ed., Africa, Vol. 2, African Cultures and Societies Before 1885 (Carolina Academic Press, 2000). *** Books are available at Co-op.

Reviews should be no less than 3 pp. and no more than 5 pp., typed and double spaced. 2. Film reviews should be analytical, and not just a retelling of the narrative. The best way to do this is by synthesizing the narrative in your own mind and then critically examining such things as the historical content, style and the overall impression the film or documentary had on you. You will probably want to assess how the book fits in with particular topics or themes we are developing in the course. Feel free to express your own opinion, but do so clearly. Organize and develop the main points you wish to make and re-emphasize them in a conclusion. 3. To keep in mind: Give your opinion of the film. What are your overall impressions? Likes and dislikes? Make sure to provide impartial details that support your assessments of the film. Understand that you are writing to an academic audience. Facts and specifics are mandatory, as is objective prose. Saying something sucks or 7

8 stinks is unacceptable unless you can back up your opinions with facts. Give an outline of the film without excessive details. Too much detail will result in summarization, which you want to avoid. Make sure to analyze documentary representations of history. How is the film s structure? Does the narrative flow? Are there continuity gaps? How does the film use music? How does the music add or distract from the story and your connection with the film? Remember that this is a history class and that readings go along with the films. How does the film bring to light aspects in the readings, or vice versa? 4. Proofread your review before submitting it. 5. Turn your review in on time (that means at the beginning of class in the assigned day), because late reviews will be penalized. Style of footnotes and bibliography Please, follow this style carefully for all the papers, reviews, reports, etc. Failure to do so will mean points deducted from your grade. Footnotes Historical style only; numbered sequentially, at bottom of the page. First citation: full reference. Book: author (first name first), title (place: Publisher, date), pp. Toyin Falola, Violence in Nigeria: The Crisis of Religious Politics and Secular Ideologies (Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 1998), pp Article in Journal: author (first name first), title, journal Vol., issue no. (date): pp. Toyin Falola, "The Yoruba Toll System," Journal of African History 30, no. 1 (1989): pp Article in Book: author (first name first), title, in name/names of editor(s), ed(s), title (place: Publisher, date), pp. Toyin Falola, "The Imperial Experience: Africa," in P.

9 Book: last name of author, short title, pp. Article: last name of author, short title, pp. If the same source is cited in the next following footnote, use Ibid., pp. Bibliography-- Historical style, alphabetically, as follows: Book: author (last name first). title.

Article in Book: author (last name first), title, in name/names of editors (first names first), ed(s), title, pp. page range of article. Place: publisher, date.

If you copy a map, table, graph, etc., for inclusion with your paper, you must give a full citation. 9
