The first phase of this project, completed in 1999, consisted of rewriting the history of the African continent. Published in eight volumes, as well as in an abridged version, and translated into thirteen languages, the <i>General History of Africa</i> represents the efforts of some 350 African and world specialists over 35 years. The second phase of the project, on the pedagogical use of the General History of Africa, has been designed on the basis of recommendations from several meetings organized by UNESCO during and after the completion of Phase I. Its main objective is to revise history education n schools and universities  in Africa as a priority  through the promotion of African perspective that will contribute to the process of regional integration. Within the project, history textbooks, an historical atlas, a CD-ROM for use in African primary and secondary schools, and teachers guides will be elaborated, training for history teachers will be improved, and the teaching of the General History of Africa in higher education will be promoted across the region. <p><img src="images/cover-tali1.jpg" width="140" height="175"></a></em> <img src="images/cover-tali3.jpg" width="140" height="175"></a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=2106128205&searchurl=an%3Dmabeko-tali%26bi%3D0%26bx%3Doff%26ds%3D30%26recentlyadded%3Dall%26sortby%3D17%26sts%3Dt%26x%3D0%26y%3D0"> <img src="images/cover-tali2.jpg" width="140" height="175"></a></em> </em> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p></TD> <TD width="277" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <!--DWLayoutTable--> <tr> <td width="277" height="408" valign="top"><blockquote> <div align="left"> <p align="left"><img src="images/Photo_Taliweb.jpg" width="300" height="352"></p> <p><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jean-Michel Mabeko-Tali<br> Professor of History<br> Ph.D., University Paris VII-Denis Diderot, France<br> Telephone: 202-806 6815/9334<br> Fax: 202 806 4471</font><br> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Email:<a href="mailto:jmabeko-tali@howard.edu">jmabeko-tali@howard.edu</a> </font><br> </div> </blockquote></td> </tr> </table></TD> </TR> <TR background="images/bottum_bar.gif"> <TD height="27">&nbsp;</TD> <TD COLSPAN=4 valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <!--DWLayoutTable--> <tr> <td width="799" height="27" valign="middle" background="images/bottum_bar.gif"> <div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><a href="chair.html">CHAIR STATEMENT</a> |<a href="faculty.html"> FACULTY</a> | <a href="graduate.html">GRADUATE</a> | <a href="undergraduate.html">UNDERGRADUATE</a> | <a href="courses.htm">COURSES</a> | <a href="events.html">NEWS AND EVENTS</a> | <a href="Links.html">LINKS</a> |<a href="INDEX.HTML"> HOME</a> | <a href="HTTP://WWW.COAS.HOWARD.EDU">COAS</a> </strong></font></div></td> </tr> </table></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
