Produktbeschreibung
The Continent of Africa: Providing a Conceptual Foundation for Instruction and Learning helps students recognize and discard common generalizations related to African history and culture. The text actively challenges stereotypes and prepares students to authentically learn about Africa, its people, its history, and its place in contemporary society. The readings in this anthology work to dispel the stereotypical notion of the African as a solely primeval being. The selections replace outdated perceptions with a more accurate and thoughtful introduction to African history and culture. The book covers topics including African philosophy, apartheid, colonization, Egyptology, nationalism in the Maghreb, and Microsoft's 4Afrika Initiative. Intended for undergraduate audiences, The Continent of Africa helps students break the generalization mold by challenging common ideas of otherness. The book is well suited for courses in African history or culture, cultural anthropology, folklore, international relations, and global public policy. Dr. Tadé Ayeni earned his bachelor's degree in Africana studies and English literature from Rutgers University, his M.A. in English literature from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Ed.D. in higher education leadership from Saint Joseph's University. He is an academic advisor in the Center for Academic Advising and Retention and a quarterly faculty member in the Africana Studies department at Eastern Washington University.
