This course examines not only the military, economic, and political significance of Africa in the Second World War, but also the harsh realities of oppressive living conditions in “Free France,” the limitations of the Atlantic Charter, and the experiences of black soldiers in German internment camps. Ultimately, this course seeks to reinterpret the Second World War by exploring lived experiences, social movements, cultural expression, and political activism in Africa. (Not offered 2024-25).
