This open access edited volume offers an analysis of the entangled
histories of education and development in twentieth-century Africa.
It deals with the plurality of actors that competed and
collaborated to formulate educational and developmental paradigms
and projects: debating their utility and purpose, pondering their
necessity and risk, and evaluating their intended and unintended
consequences in colonial and postcolonial moments. Since the late
nineteenth century, the "educability" of the native was the subject
of several debates and experiments: numerous voices, arguments, and
agendas emerged, involving multiple institutions and experts,
governmental and non-governmental, religious and laic, operating
from the corridors of international organizations to the towns and
rural villages of Africa. This plurality of expressions of
political, social, cultural, and economic imagination of education
and development is at the core of this collective work.
