This is a two semester course; Fall and Spring. Fall is a historical overview from the 19th century up to 1963; the beginning of the OAU, decolonization and reunification. Spring will focus on Pan-Africanism, the different African Diaspora and the vision and goals of 'Africa 2063'. By the end of the course students will learn how Africans managed to resist efforts to eradicate control of Africa by Africans through the inhumane ideology espoused at the Berlin Conference, the Industrial Revolution and other historical periods that were the core of colonization. We will conclude with 'neocolonialism'; economic attempts to control Africa today, such as mining cobalt for EV car batteries.
