HIST 3440 - The Making of Modern Africa

4 Semester Hours
To help understand the hopes and impediments that affect the lives of Africans today, HITS-3440 focuses on the novels by Chinua Achebe and Buchi Emecheta, gifted writers and outspoken critics of the problems facing their own country, Nigeria. The issues they raise are the focus of this historical investigation: the legacy of colonialism, the clash of cultures, nation-building, political instability, and individual responsibility and accountability.
