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.
