Teaching About Africa
Ronald S. Byrnes and Peter W. Downing, with Carol Vogler
CTIR
$34.95
The
nations of Africa remain a mystery to many teachers and students
alike. Africa though, is a powerful force in the international system.
The end of apartheid in South Africa; the tragedy of Rwanda; the
struggles in Ethiopia and Sudan; the expansion of the Sahara; the
conflict between traditions and modernization; the spread of AIDS.
these issues require a closer look. This revised version of CTIR's
popular book explores the tremendous diversity of Africa's peoples,
cultures, geography, and contemporary issues. Updated activities
include: "What's in a Myth: The Case of the Asante," "But
They Told Me So: Africa in the Press," and "The African
Connection." New activities include: "This Land is Your
Land," "The New South Africa," and "Who's Who
in Africa: Yesterday and Today."
