The Changing Face of Colonial Education in Africa
Inside African Anthropology
Inside African Anthropology offers an incisive biography of the life and work of South Africa's foremost social anthropologist, Monica Hunter Wilson. By exploring her main fieldwork and intellectual projects in southern Africa between the 1920s and 1960s, the book offers insights into her personal and intellectual life. Beginning with her origins in the remote Eastern Cape, the authors follow Wilson to the University of Cambridge and back into th…

Academic freedom, institutional autonomy and the corporatised university in contemporary South Africa1
This article examines threats from the state, institutional bureaucrats and academics themselves to academic freedom and to the institutional autonomy of universities in South Africa, and argues that the situation is more complex than is often perceived. The generally disappointing post-independence history of academic freedom and autonomy in Sub-Saharan Africa is drawn upon to illustrate the perils that may accompany too eager an embrace of the …

Shaping in dull, dead earth their dreams of riches and beauty
Approaching Hogsback from the small university town of Alice, travellers face a wall of forested mountainside. At the base is the sprawling village of e-Hala, or Auckland, easy to ignore in the haste to climb the spectacular road to the mountain resort. Particularly at weekends, travellers are certain to encounter boys and young men along the road frantically trying to gain attention. If they stop, they will find that these youths are selling sma…
The Records of the University of Fort Hare
Historians, not just of South Africa, but of any part of what was once British Africa up to and including Kenya, will be familiar with the significance of the University of Fort Hare at Alice, in South Africa's Eastern Cape province. The university is built on the site and retains the name of a British fort that was a major base for one of the first and most bitterly-fought, and certainly the longest, of the nineteenth-century southern African wa…
Dakawa Development Centre
The records of the African National Congress (ANC) in exile are being deposited in the Liberation Archives at the University of Fort Hare. Using these documents, it is now possible to aspire to a more subtle and realistic picture of exile as a factor in the modern history of South Africa. The article uses these records, and oral sources, to depict life at the Dakawa Development Centre, an ANC settlement in Tanzania from 1982 to 1992. The origins …
The Struggle against Underdevelopment in Zambia since Independence
White-Collar or Hoe Handle
Academe and Empire
The things they have made will live forever
Recent changes have given particular significance to portrayals of African cultures in South African museums, and to the relationship between collectors and those from whom they collect. This article examines the history of a collection of artefacts, mainly from the Eastern Cape in South Africa, gathered from the 1880s to the 1940s by Estelle Hamilton‐Welsh and her mother, and now housed in the F.S. Malan Museum, University of Fort Hare. The coll…

To Independence and beyond
The importance of education and training in developing countries is central to Peter Snelson's memoirs. After Cambridge, RAF service and teaching in Britain, in 1954 he went to Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia), where he worked as a teacher and education officer, later becoming Director of Planning at the Ministry of Education. He experienced at first hand the effects of the intense, sometimes violent, political activity of the years leading up to …

"ON THE SIDE OF THE ROBBED" : R. J. B. MOORE, MISSIONARY ON THE COPPERBELT, 1933-1941 BY SEAN MORROW (University of Malawi, Zomba, Malawi) Though many studies exist of missionaries in rural Africa, few concentrate on mission activity in urban areas. Also, though the role of missionaries as an element in the colonial power-structure has often been emphasised, less stress has been laid on those who, from a specifically Christian point of view, deve…
