This course explores the historical geography of sub-Saharan Africa during the colonial and postcolonial eras. We will examine how a variety of spaces and places on the continent were imagined, represented, and practiced over time, concentrating on five major themes: maps, the city, the countryside, transportation, and borders. Students will learn about political, economic, social, and cultural dynamics in modern Africa while engaging with diverse theories regarding the production of space.
