Education and Development in Colonial and Postcolonial Africa
This open-access edited volume analyzes the intertwined histories of education and development in 20th-century Africa. Covering the late 19th century to the 1980s, it examines how diverse actors—colonial governments, international organizations, religious groups, and local communities—shaped educational paradigms and development agendas. Through case studies from both colonial and postcolonial settings, the book considers debates around the “educability” of African populations and traces the intended and unintended outcomes of educational interventions across policy, culture, and economics.
