Nkasa Yelengi

Good Afternoon...Welcome to my homepage.

Welcome to my homepage! You can learn a little bit about myself, my class syllabi, my research, and check out links that I either find interesting or relevant to my classes and/or research.

 

This semester (Spring 2012) I am teaching the following courses:

  • Hist 3615: Modern Africa
  • Hist 3616: Society and Culture in 20th century Africa

A native of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), ex-Zaire (Africa), Nkasa joined the department as a part-time faculty in winter 1995 and was hired as an assistant professor in 1996. He received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Minnesota in 1996. His area of specialization is African social and cultural history and his second field in history is Modern Europe. He is currently working on three major projects:

  1. "The Impact of the Construction and Operation of the Port Francqui-Bukama Railroad on the Population of Rural Katanga, Belgian Congo" and
  2. "Chief Kasongo Nyembo: A Villain or Hero?."
  3. "Peasant Rebellion in Kwango-Kwilu"

Dr. Yelengi teaches three African history courses: Pre-Colonial Africa to 1800, Modern Africa, and Society and Culture in 20th Century Africa, and two European history courses: Europe in the Modern Age and Modern France.
