    Dear students,

    Welcome to the course titles Africa, which will offer you a deep insight into Africa’s modern and contemporary history, politics, socio-economic issues, and future prospects and perspectives on development. Africa is not a country, but a huge continent with 54 countries and a population of more than 1,4 billion, and still growing. In thisa course, we will be exploring postcolonial and contemporary history and politics of the continent, woth special focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. That is because we divide Africa into two zones, North Africa which is also part of the so-called MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

    I do hope this course will be entertaining for you and would serve as an inspiration for your future studies or work.

    Let us explore Africa!
