Official course description: African economic history is going through a unique period of resurgence and renewal. This seminar explores new topics and debates in the economic history of Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 1800-2000. Engaging with the new literature in an exploratory and critical manner, the seminar intends to help students realize the relevance and application of history for contemporary development challenges and opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa. Methodologically, the course invites students to critically assess both qualitative and quantitive empirical contributions to the “new economic history of Africa.” Additionally, the seminar seeks to demonstrate and discuss the multitude of new data sources in African history.
