This resource is an example of decolonising the curriculum with a specific focus on West Africa. This resource seeks to challenge the conventional wisdom that development has only occurred in West Africa since the advent of colonialism in the nineteenth century.
Decolonising a topic, such as West African empires, means identifying that we are learning a story. This is a resource on the powerful indigenous empires of West Africa between 750AD to 1902AD, pre-European colonialism.
