Abstract	An interdisciplinary focus on the teaching of African geography is presented in this module, arranged by three major topics. Topic I stresses the African view that water is the sustainer of life, presents a case study of the Nile River, and discusses the significance of rivers as natural boundaries that delineate political units. Topic II gives examples of the city as the symbol of modern life throughout Africa and presents information on East African coastal cities, "new" cities, colonial cities, capital cities, traditional cities, and rejuvenated cities. The challenges of urbanization and upgrading rural life are discussed. Topic III discusses economic and political independence. It presents information on how pre- and postcolonial Africa produced and distributed its goods and services. Also investigated is the economic potential of regional groupings. A bibliography, a list of institutions that deal with developing nations, and a map of Africa are included. (Author/DB)
