Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: Our knowledge of Africa's past consists largely of ideas which are fiercely debated in academic circles. The seminar will deal with recent discussions concerning Afrocentrism, the number of persons affected by the Atlantic slave trade, the history of begging, the Mfecane, the political economy of the Kalahari Desert, reasons for Africa's "underdevelopment", the significance of the occult, the weakness of precolonial states, human sacrifice, and world systems / globalization.
