2 Unit 1 Overview Content Area: Social Studies Unit Title: Kingdoms and Trading States of Africa Target Course/Grade Level: World History /Grade 9 Duration: 1-2 Weeks Description Many civilizations rose and flourished in Africa, despite geographical barriers. Bantu migrations and contacts with Egypt, Rome, Christianity, and Islam contributed to diversity. A succession of powerful West African kingdoms controlled the Saharan trade routes between 800 and Along the coast of East Africa, Indian Ocean trade routes led to the growth of prosperous city states. Art and oral literature fostered common values. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Climate Zones Desertification Bantu Migrations Gold Salt Trade Triangular Trade Network (East Africa, Middle East/ Asia, Europe) Triangular Trade Network (West Africa, Europe, Americas) Cultural Diffusion Lineage (matrilineal, patrilineal) Bondage Slavery Colonization Exploitation Under-development Understandings The methods of and motivations for exploration and conquest resulted in increased global interactions, differing patterns of trade, colonization, and conflict among nations. Colonization was inspired by the desire to have access to resources and markets, often at the expense of the indigenous culture, population, and environment. Climate zones and the geography of Africa influenced the development of its peoples cultures, economies and interactions with other parts of the world. The triangular trade networks of East and West African states influenced African economies as well as, through cultural diffusion, contributed to cultural/religious diversity of these regions. The slave trade negatively impacted African societies and, in part, was responsible for European exploitation of the region. It also led to the loss of native traditions for the enslaved peoples. West Africa s use of oral tradition as means of passing down history contributed to both the disappearance and survival of African traditions among enslaved Africans. The exploitation of Africa s resources by European powers led to colonization of the area, and consequently, negatively impacted the region s ability for self-reliance and economic and political stability in the post-colonial period. Most of Africa remains under-developed and plagued by conflict at present.
