AFS 536 - Africa and Globalization


This seminar will discuss the interconnection between this enduring crisis of the modern African state and the impact of globalization, especially after thecallpase of communism in Eastern Europe. We will critically explore the implications of these complex regional and global political and economic forces for emerging African social formation, the viability of African states and societies, new migration patterns, transnationalism, and diasporic connections especially since the decolonization process in the 1950’s.
