The Changing Landscape of Colonial Education in Africa offers a
detailed and nuanced perspective of colonial history, based on
fifteen years of research, that throws fresh light on the
complexities of African history and the colonial world of the first
half of the twentieth century. It provides an analytical background
to history of education in the colonial context by balancing
contributions by missionary agencies, colonial government,
humanitarian agencies, and scientific experts. The book offers a
foundation for the analysis of modern educational policy for the
post-colonial state. It attempts to move beyond cliches about
colonial education to an understanding of the complexities of how
educational policy was developed in different places at different
times while giving credence to arguments which see schooling as a
form of social control in the colonial environment. The book will
be essential reading for academics, researchers and policy makers
looking to better understand colonial education and contextualise
modern developments related to the decolonising African education.
It is intended to provide an essential background for policy makers
by demonstrating the significance of a historical perspective for
an understanding of contemporary educational challenges in Africa
and elsewhere.
