Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: Our knowledge of Africa's past is shaped by ideas which are fiercely debated in academic circles. The seminar will explore a range of recent discussions which may include a selection from the following: the impact of the Atlantic slave trade on African politics; agency and colonial rule; reasons for Africa's "underdevelopment"; the modernity of witchcraft; explanations for corruption; extraversion; and the postcolonial state.
