Horn of Africa (HSTAFM 288 / NEAR E 288): Home
This research guide lists resources and links to explore the history, cultures, and peoples of the Horn of Africa from prehistory to the present. It also serves as the class guide to the new course on the Horn of Africa, HSTAFM 288 / NEAR E 288.
The guide includes sections on each country within the region: Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Djibouti. These country sections include links to quick background information as well as lists of recommended books. Off-campus access to many of the online resources are restricted to current UW students, staff and faculty. In-library access is open to everyone.
Additional sections cover films and databases to use for more in-depth research.
