CSUN Introduction to African History Research Paper
Topic: Partition of Africa
looking at the question of the partition of Africa would be a great topic! You could look at a couple foundational approaches from the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s (by historians like CW Newbury, GN Sanderson, AG Hopkins, Robin Law and others), and compare these articles with a more recent publication.
Present the topic / debate / question ; give short summary of each of the three articles ; tease out contrasts and connections among the different articles (how do their argument differ and converge? Which types of sources, methods, concepts are they using? ); draw short conclusion on state of research on the topic (what are the blind spots of existing research?)
