Please cite in Chicago. The creative work requires that students utilize the techniques they have learned in analyzing primary sources and identifying patterns in the development of the historiography to demonstrating the extent of their historical imagination, research skills, and creativity. The job is to imagine that the writer is someone from a specific ethno-linguistic group and living in a particular town within the imperial domain of Ancient Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Write 5-7 pages (of narrative text in addition to the footnotes) in that persons voice, revealing that persons living conditions, occupation, status, perspectives, beliefs, values, etc.
What follows applies to the creative and the research paper options. The paper should be based on the course readings and the students own research, and it must include lengthy footnotes that reveal the primary and secondary sources consulted as well as the debates in the historiography that inform the account of this persons life. Somewhere in the footnotes, the paper should distill an understanding of the following categories of sources with respect to what they reveal about the experiences of West Africans during the medieval era: written primary sources, visual images, and the oral/ethnographic data. A bibliography should accompany the essay on the final page.
I am attaching an example paper from the professor; it is important to match the structure. The paper should be around 6 pages as noted, but I paid for more since the footnotes arent double spaced. It should follow the topic that I have chosen and am attaching as part of my outline. In my outline, I tried to outline what different questions I might ask are, so please follow those and add as needed when you are writing.
The main book we read in the class “African Dominion”, is also attached. You will want to use Chapter 6 specifically for the historical account. You are encouraged to pull from other reputable sources (preferably journals).
