In this course we suggest that the idea of Africa was fabricated in classical antiquity by non-African peoples. We shall study this idea of Africa as it relates to
questions of identity, race, and ethnicity, both ancient and present. Readings are selected from ancient and modern texts,
and include Herodotus, Aristotle, Tacitus, Appiah, Said, Isaac, and Obama.
