    ********************
    New H-Net Network:
    H-AfrTeach
    ********************
    We are pleased to announce the official launch of H-AfrTeach,
    a new H-Net network considering the possibilities and problems
    involved in teaching about Africa.

    With the help of our subscribers' advice and contributions,
    H-AfrTeach will build a website for teachers at all levels of
    education. We plan to provide grade-appropriate resources and
    information about Africa, as well as support for innovative
    teaching about the entire continent.

    The H-AfrTeach webpage may be found at:

    http://h-net.msu.edu/~afrteach

    We invite you to visit the site and send us your reactions,
    suggestions, and contributions at <mwalimu@h-net2.msu.edu>.

    Because H-AfrTeach editors believe teaching about Africa often
    involves similar issues and questions, no matter the level of
    our students--from elementary to university--we also sponsor a
    moderated discussion list to explore teaching about the entire
    continent.

    Subscription to the H-AfrTeach discussion list is free, and we
    welcome subscribers with diverse interests and backgrounds. To
    subscribe, you may complete the interactive membership survey
    on our webpage, found at:

    http://h-net.msu.edu/~afrteach/discussion.html

    Or you may request a survey by e-mail. Send a message to:

    listserv@h-net.msu.edu

    with only this message:

    sub h-afrteach

    You will receive the membership survey by return e-mail. When
    you have completed it, please return it to us at:

    afreach@h-net2.msu.edu

    H-AfrTeach is made possible by H-Net, Humanities & Social
    Sciences OnLine, and is an outreach service supported by the
    African Studies Centers at Michigan State University, Boston
    University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

    H-AfrTeach has a staff of volunteer editors and an editorial
    board, each representing a broad range of interests and
    backgrounds, including teachers, professors and students.

    The founding editors are:

    Mel Page, East Tennessee State University
