This course examines China-Africa relations from the premodern era to the 21st century. Themes include the modes and implications of foreign aid, diverse experiences of travel and resettlement between China and Africa, and the role of race in past and present constructions of China-Africa relations. Students work in pairs to create or edit a page that contributes to our understanding of China-Africa relations, with an eye towards how history shapes connections in the contemporary moment. The topics students work on may be an individual who has been important to China-Africa relations in some way, or a country-specific case (for example, "China-Tanzania relations").
