Geographies of International Development in Africa
Critically examines the major approaches to "Development" in colonial and postcolonial eras, with a focus on a range of African resources: from water to wildlife, forests to farms, airways to rangelands, and including a consideration of African bodies themselves as sites of development and resistance. African and African Diaspora Studies 340M and Geography 330F may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
