This web-site is intended as an introduction to Kenya and
Tanzania and their political history for undergraduate students heading to East
Africa for a study-travel program
from Lewis and Clark College in Portland,
Oregon. It consists of a collection of resources, notes for a lecture, suggestions
for summer reading, mentions of films of interest, links for further information
on East Africa, other links for the study of the Swahili language, and even a
small selection of Swahili recipes. I hope you find it useful, but you should
be aware that it is in no sense intended to be a definitive treatment of any of
its topics. If you discover broken links and would be willing to inform
me of them, I would much appreciate it. A click-through at the bottom of
each page is available for sending a message to me by email.
