Power, Politics, and History: Africa and the African Diaspora
Overview
This presentation emphasizes demonstrating history’s relevance to the present day and providing students with the tools to critically apply historical thinking. Pivotal to thinking critically about history is understanding the ways that historiographical debates, theoretical frameworks and methodological issues create a historical legacy. This presentation also considers who has the power to shape historical narratives and uses British colonial policy in Africa to think about this question.
