Paperback. Condition: New. In what measure could education be an agent of African freedom? Combining histories of race, economics, and education, Elisa Prosperetti examines this question in two West African contexts, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, from the 1890s to the 1980s. She argues that a Black Atlantic perspective changes how we see decolonization and development in West Africa, by revealing schooling's essential role in aspirations of African emancipation. Rejecting colonial exploitation of the African body, proponents of anticolonial development instead claimed the mind as the site of economic productivity for African people. An Anticolonial Development shows how, in the middle of the twentieth century, Africans proposed an original understanding of development that fused antiracism to economic theory, and human dignity to material productivity.

In what measure could education be an agent of African freedom? Combining histories of race, economics, and education, this study offers a fresh approach to the study of development and decolonization in West Africa. Elisa Prosperetti demonstrates that freedom from colonial rule was inseparable from the freedom to go to school. This item is printed on demand.
