Planned timetable:
This module will offer students the opportunity to examine past and present theoretical debates on colonial and postcolonial transformations in Africa. It will look at the ways in which major social, political and economic shifts at local and global level have contributed to the making and re-making of colonial and postcolonial youthful subjectivities. The module will focus specifically on a series of interconnected debates on the role of youth in colonial and postcolonial Africa. This is intended to increase students' awareness of the role played by African youth in wider political, social, and economic transformations on the continent, and for current anthropological debates on agency and personhood, on gender and intimacy, on subjectivity and identity.
