EMPIRE AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA KARTONIERT (TB)

Empire and Education in Africa brings together a rich body of scholarship on the history of
education in colonial Africa. It provides a unique contribution to the historiography of
education in different African countries and a useful point of entry for scholars new to the
field of African colonial education. The collection includes case studies from South Africa 
Ethiopia  Madagascar  French West Africa (Afrique Occidentale Française) and Tanzania (then
Tanganyika). It will therefore prove invaluable for scholars in the histories of French 
British and German colonialism in Africa. The book examines similarities and differences in
approaches to education across a broad geographical and chronological framework  with chapters
focusing on the period between 1830 and 1950. The chapters highlight some central concerns in
writing histories of education that transcend geographic or imperial boundaries. The text
addresses the relationship between voluntary societies' role in education provision and state
education. The book also deals with 'adapted' education: what kind of education was appropriate
to African people or African contexts  and how did this differ across and between colonial
contexts? Finally  many of the chapters deal with issues of gender in colonial education 
showing how issues of gender were central to education provision in Africa.
