Duke Bryant offers an overview of the history of colonial education in Africa‚ discussing the early period of missionary education, the growing interest of the colonial state in the late nineteenth century, the predominance of ‘adapted’ education in the interwar period, the expansion and reform of the postwar era, and postcolonial legacies. She focuses in particular on African responses to and experiences of colonial education, relying on her original research on Senegal and on published accounts from across the continent. She views this history through the lens of African agency and ambivalence, arguing that although Africans shaped colonial education and the uses to which it could be put, its complicated legacies led colonial education to occupy an ambivalent position in African history
