In addition to a detailed syllabus, course plan, and list of assignments, this site offers: a literary map of Africa; synopses of African films with annotated references to resources in both print and electronic formats; a section dedicated to African storytelling; pages devoted to the work of authors Chinua Achebe and Tsitsi Dangarembga; and an annotated list of African Studies links divided into subject areas. The richest resource at this site is the African Timelines section, which consists of five narrative chronologies with embedded links documenting the history of African 'orature,' literature, and film."

I submitted a proposal [based on my COCC HUM 211 course & web materials] to Prof. Gaurav Desai (Tulane Univ.) for MLA (Modern Language Association) volume on Teaching the African Novel; and Prof. Desai has included an edited abstract of my proposal, currently entitled "African Novels in a General Education Course," in a prospectus package submitted to MLA Publication Committee for review in Jan. 2005 [per email from Prof. Desai - gaurav@tulane.edu - dated 20 Jan. 2005].
Abstract [proposed for consideration] -  "African Novels in a General Education Course":
"This chapter describes the author’s efforts in teaching African Novels in a lower division writing-intensive course for community college students. The course itself includes a study of a variety of literary genre, of which the novel is only one, and includes a formidable web-archive of materials related to African history, culture, literature and philosophy. The chapter focuses both on the substance of the material covered in the class as well as on the possibilities of using web based materials in enhancing the teaching of the
African Novel in an undergraduate classroom.
