Course Title: (IST101) WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE WHERE NO TRIBES IN AFRICA?

This is an OLLI Digital Library recording and is available to view until December 31, 2025.

Don Wright will discuss the difficulties he, as a person from a Western culture, faced when initially studying the history of precolonial Africa, and then teaching it to students who carried the same Western notions about such things as borders, boundaries, and personal identity. And he will include, as he puts it, "some related stuff that I find interesting."
