Course Outline and Method

In this course, we will read a text of anthropology studies, "Europe and the People without History". The book challenges the notion of uncivilised world, by exploring the history of the societies classified in that notion.
Students will read the designated book and make a presentation of their assigned part of the book. After the presentation, there will be a question and answer session, in which students are asked to engage actively. To that end, all students are asked to read thoroughly the relevant part of the book each week.
