This book explores the world of Nigerian universities to offer an
innovative perspective on the history of development and
decolonisation from the 1930s to the 1960s. Using political,
cultural and spatial approaches, the book shows that Nigerians and
foreign donors alike saw the nation's new universities as vital
institutions: a means to educate future national leaders, drive
economic growth, and make a modern Nigeria. Universities were
vibrant places, centres of nightlife, dance, and the construction
of spectacular buildings, as well as teaching and research. At
universities, students, scholars, visionaries, and rebels
considered and contested colonialism, the global Cold War, and the
future of Nigeria. University life was shaped by, and formative to,
experiences of development and decolonisation. The book will be of
interest to historians of Africa, empire, education, architecture,
and the Cold War.
