This course demystifies the Sahara by considering its history from the deep past to the present, and by historicizing contemporary events in this increasingly geopoliticallyimportant area. The course familiarizes students with interdisciplinary methods through the reading of a wide array of primary and secondary sources from historical, anthropological, environmental studies, art historical, and other approaches.
