This reading course will start with a critical overview of the
development of African Studies, its positioning and current role.
Following this, in the main body of the course we will introduce in
historical and contemporary perspective an exemplary selection of
important topics, debates and authors relevant for the field of African
Studies. We will approach the literature from the perspective of Five
General Questions about Africa. We will critically examine the topics
and perspectives implied in these questions, and the diverse answers
provided by authors working in various disciplines within African
Studies.
