Bookreader Item Preview
xii, 624 pages ; 24 cm
This book surveys the history of higher education--principally universities--in Africa. Its geographical coverage encompasses the entire continent, from Afro-Arab Islamic Africa in the north to the former apartheid South Africa in the south, and the historical time span ranges from the Egyptian civilization to the present. Since little has been written on this topic, particularly its historical component, the work fills an important gap in the literature. The book delineates the broad contours of the history of higher education in Africa in exceptional historical breadth, voluminously documenting its subject in the text, detailed footnotes, and lengthy appendices
Includes bibliographical references (pages 545-602) and index
Introduction -- Pre-modern Africa -- Afro-Arab Islamic Africa -- Anglophone Africa-I -- Anglophone Africa-II: Ethiopia, Liberia, and South Africa -- Europhone Africa -- Thematic perspective : the role of foreign aid -- Conclusion : the colonial legacy and beyond
