| The objective of the course is to
give the student an introduction
to African history through three historical epochs: a)
from 1700 - 1870; the pre-colonial era, b)1870 - 1960;
Africa under European administration, c) 1960-2000; Africa
after independence. There will be a particular focus on social changes as a result of
both internal and
external forces, and the problems of development Africa
has faced.
Norwegian contact with Africa in form of the missions in
South Africa and development aid will be examined.
Both ordinary and e-learning lessons
will be given in "History of Africa" during the autumn of
2004. As an e-learning student you will be given access to

called It's:Learning. You are also expected to attend 2

join discussion groups on the Internet. There are 2
compulsory assignments during the semester.
