Through the lens of race, gender, and imperialism, this course explores the historical role of medicine in shaping Africa’s encounter with the world, from the Arab incursions of the 7th century to the trans-Atlantic and colonial encounters of the 15th to the 20th century. We reflect on medicine as an instrument of state formation, political domination and social control in Africa and the African diaspora in the United States.
