Animality and Colonial Subjecthood in Africa
Aderinto takes Nigeria's colonial history in a fresh direction, inspired by studies in animal history in Africa and elsewhere. The principal aim is to create more inclusive historical knowledge by seeing animals as agents of history, continuing the enrichment of a historical inquiry that followed the transformative incorporation of such concerns as gender, geography, or material culture. Ambitiously including multiple animal species, he promises …
A Fistful of Shells

Zachernuk Toby Green, A Fistful of Shells: West Africa from the Rise of the Slave Trade to the Age of Revolution (Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2019) Despite decades of effort by Africanist historians, Africa remains perennially misunderstood, falsely disconnected from the stream of history. Historians of the Atla…

Africa since 1940
Africa since 1940 is the flagship textbook in Cambridge University Press' New Approaches to African History series. Now revised to include the history and scholarship of Africa since the turn of the millennium, this important book continues to help students understand the process out of which Africa's position in the world has emerged. A history of decolonisation and independence, it allows readers to see just what political independence did and …
Literary Culture in Colonial Ghana
Critical Agents
As John Flint has pointed up more than once, historians’ models do not always match the facts revealed by carefully researched reconstruction. One of his articles on African decolonization showed convincingly that the nationalist drama presenting decolonization as heroic struggle was more mythical than real, while the dependency theorists’ suggestion of planned neocolonialism was contradicted by the archival record. 1 Both these models rest on a …

Colonial Subjects
West African intellectuals have a long history of engaging with European intrusion by reflecting on their status as colonial and postcolonial subjects. Against the tendency to view this engagement as a confrontation between the modern west and traditional Africa, Philip S. Zachernuk argues that the interaction is far more fluid and diverse. Challenging the frequent denigration of western-educated Africans as a culturally barren kleptocratic elite…

African history and imperial culture in colonial Nigerian schools
Evaluations of colonial education policy tend to treat it as a tool for applying imperial ideology, which-among other things-denied the Africans their past. This study of the debate about history education in southern Nigeria in the 1930s suggests the need to re-evaluate this assessment. While some imperial pronouncements did deny African history, colonial administration also required historical knowledge. Further, many colonial educators thought…

Confronting Historical Paradigms
Of Origins and Colonial Order
The professional Nigerian nationalist historiography which emerged in reaction against the imperialist Hamitic Hypothesis – the assertion that Africa's history had been made only by foreigners – is rooted in a complex West African tradition of critical dialogue with European ideas. From the mid-nineteenth century, western-educated Africans have re-worked European ideas into distinctive Hamitic Hypotheses suited to their colonial location. This ac…
