Cultures of Africa - D2, SB

This course provides an introduction to the ethnography of postcolonial cultures in sub-Saharan Africa. We will examine cultural, historical, political, and socio-economic factors that shape life in several countries, specifically exploring the complexity and diversity of everyday life in urban areas. The course will be centered upon a series of ethnographic readings, films, and case studies meant to introduce students to the diversity of social worlds and experiences across this broad region. We will focus on a series of core concepts and topics across the semester, including post-coloniality, development and economics, globalization, migration and mobility, activism and politics, informality, and urban space
