ILRIC 4357
Labor, Professions, and Migration in Sub-Saharan Africa

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2019-2020.

This course deals with the many forms of work in Sub-Saharan Africa and assesses the impact migration has had on the development and maintenance of labor markets and employment therein. Some of the core questions addressed during this course are: What forms of labor existed before (and continue to exist after) European Colonialism? How did European Colonialism change economic systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and to what extent? What role have trade unions and labor organizing played in the political development of post-colonial African societies? Does an expanding professional class in Sub-Saharan African societies help or hinder internal development? What role does migration play in the spread of labor markets and the professions? 

When Offered Spring.
