Public Lecture by Fred Cooper – Professor of History, New York University
How does one write about Africa in the context of capitalism and colonization without reducing Africa to the victim of historical processes determined elsewhere? This talk will chart scholarly perspectives and sketch some of the multiple ways in which the history of capitalism unfolded outside the European ‘core.’
