  6. African History Analyzing Africa using the Course Themes

  7. Theme #1 - Demographics • The Bantu migrated over 1500 years from West Africa throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. • Given the slow nature of their migration, what effect would this have on Sub-Saharan Africa? • Yams, taro, chicken, and bananas were introduced from Southeast Asia by Indian Ocean merchants. • How would this impact Africa’s population density?

  8. Theme #2 – Cultural Interactions • Traditional Religions Mostly monotheistic, with a male creator who was omniscient and omnipotent. Believed in lesser gods associated with natural features. Very practical (versus theological), with rituals playing a major role. Diviners played a vital role in consulting oracles or prescribing medicines. • How would followers of these traditional beliefs respond to the introduction of Islam and Christianity? • In both cases, converts continued to accommodate their traditional culture in terms of dress, gender relations, and ancestor rituals. • Griots, artistic production (masks), music and dance all served a vital role in passing on African history in the absence of written languages. • How have these traditions both hindered and benefitted African society today?

  9. Theme #3 – Political Structures • Stateless Societies Governed through patriarchal kinship groups with a chief. • What allowed this system to last for hundreds of years in Africa? • Centralized Kingdoms  Population pressures led to strained land resources and the development of distinct militaries and governments under kings (later with bureaucracies). • Why might governments struggle to retain their control in Africa (especially compared to other regions)?

  10. Theme #4 – Economic Development • Trans-Saharan Trade Made possible by the introduction of the camel and useful saddle. Main products: Salt and Gold. (Ghana, Mali, Songhai) • Who were they trading with? What allowed them to expand this trade? • Indian Ocean Trade Swahili culture emerged blending Bantu and Arabic. Main products: Ivory, slaves, and exotics. (Kilwa, Zanzibar, Mombasa) • How would this exchange impact the culture and even social structure of East Africa?

  11. Theme #5 – Social Structures • Age Groupings Age sets performed tasks appropriate to their development and formed tight circles of friends. • Along with kinship and gender groupings, what is the advantage of using age sets as a means of social organization? • Slavery  From Prisoners of War and debtors used as agricultural or construction laborers to slave raiding. • What would cause such a change? What other reasons might slavery be so deep seeded in Africa?

  12. A Traveler’s Life – Analyzing Ibn Battuta • You have the next 30 minutes of class to pick up where you left off on yesterday’s web-based assignment on Ibn Battuta. • Use the link on the class wiki to access the site on Battuta’s writings.
