Of all the aspects of British 'cultural imperialism' the one which
Africans found most seductive was formal western education. They
were quick to realise that University education opened up prospects
for economic advancement and would ultimately provide the keys to
political power and self government. Using a wide range of papers
from the British Colonial Office and colonial governments in
Africa, the archives of several libraries and the writings of
African nationalists, Dr Nwauwa examines the surprisingly long
history of the demand for the establishment of universities in
Colonial Africa, a demand to which the authorities finally agreed
after the Second World War.
Educated Africans first put forward requests for a university in
South West Africa in the 1860's, but from the 1880's through to the
1930's British colonial regimes constantly shunned such
aspirations. But starting in 1939 colonial reformers in Britain
began to advocate the creation of universities in Africa and by
1943 the idea was taken up by the Colonial Office as a means of
'managing' African nationalism. The creation of university colleges
became a reality in 1948, they were one of the most important
colonial reforms which led to decolonisation.
