This book is the first to examine the complex and contradictory
history of Classics in Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria. It
investigates how Classical Studies, as an integral part of colonial
education, enforced a notion of cultural inferiority on African
subjects, but conversely played an enabling role in nationalist
expression. The enquiry is structured around three main questions:
how Classics contributed to the formation of a new class of
Europeanising West Africans in the late 19th century; how Classics
was implicated in the ideological struggles of the early twentieth
century over the desirability of 'practical' or 'agricultural'
education; and how the uses of Classics changed in the years
leading up to independence.
