The essays and other written work featured in African Histories @ Wake Forest reflect students’ understandings of African pasts, but it also reflects their critical engagement with the discipline of history. Instead of approaching history as an objective or straightforward assemblage of facts, we approach it as a subjective, conversational terrain about source materials, methods of inquiry, and modes of communication. As we read, evaluate, and write about African histories, our class considers the strengths and weakness of different historical approaches.
