I would say that most universities does a piss poor job in teaching African Study. I never liked the fact that it's "African Study." Why you might ask? I would say that AFrica is a huge continent. If you look at Asian Studies, most big universities divide them into different regions. Cornell has East Asia, South East Asia, South Asia and Middle East Concentration. Yet, they only have African Concentration. All the region are vastly different from each other. They all also have their own regional grouping. East Africa has ECOWAS. North Africa has the Maghreb Union. Southern Africa has SADC. I wish the universities would do a better job in specializing of African regions.
