DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2020-4-83-90
The methodological features of the course “Modern History of the Countries of Asia and Africa”, which the author reads for historian students at TSPU, are examined, relying on a brief comparative analysis of textbooks on relevant issues. The chronological framework of the course, based on the oriental approach, is substantiated: manifestations of a systemic or structural crisis in the countries, that took place in the 17th – first half of the 18th centuries are selected as the starting line, for the most part, revolutionary events or important milestones of the national liberation struggle – for the finite. The author’s version of the course structure is proposed, based on the “call-and-answer” concept of A. J. Toynbee: the material is divided into three parts – “internal challenge” (crises of the beginning of the Modern Time), “external challenge” (forms and consequences of Western powers colonial policy in the East), “response” (reaction of the population of Asian and African countries to internal and external challenges). The theoretical basis of the course is described, which has a comprehensive character and includes a civilizational approach, elements of a Marxist theory and a theory of modernization, the first being responsible for structuring micro-level material, the second and third provide macro-level generalization.
