Historiographic Reconsideration of Colonial Education in Africa: Domestic Forces in the Early Expansion of English Schooling in Northern Igboland, 1890–1930
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
Mainstream historiography often turns to Europe's era of empire building to explain the expansion of Western formal education in Africa. Popular accounts suggest that in Africa (1) colonial involvement in education was late and short lived, spanning the early decades of the twentieth century, (2) missionaries were largely responsible for early educational expansion, and (3) education expansion resulted from interdenominational rivalries among missionaries. However, these popular narratives inadequately account for Africans' own responses to colonial education. This study examines social and cultural shifts in northern Igboland in southeastern Nigeria between 1890 and 1930. It uses colonial archives and oral sources to demonstrate that beyond missionary rivalry, domestic contests converged with the fledgling colonial process to promote English education in northern Igboland. To accomplish this task, the article reviews methodological assumptions responsible for marginal attention to the agency of the colonized in the historiography of Western education in former colonies.

4 Seminal African historiographic works by the Ibadan School of History, which emphasized African reactions to European explorers, often produced generalized accounts of communities that vary geographically, politically, culturally, and economically.

6 Europeans encountered today's amalgam Nigeria as disparate societies, so any generalized colonial history must build on localized accounts of how particular native peoples encountered, resisted, and ultimately yielded to imperial forces.Google Scholar
7 The notion that Africa was a historical void was used by Western historians to justify their unfamiliarity with and unwillingness to explore the rich histories of Africa. For instance, after several uninformed comments about “Negroes” in the introduction to his Philosophy of History, Hegel decided to exclude Africa from his subsequent commentaries because “it is no historical part of the World; it has no movement or development to exhibit.” Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Philosophy of History (New York: American Home Library Company, 1902), 157. Regius, Famed Professor of History at Oxford Hugh Trevor-Roper reignited the controversy when he argued in 1963 that Africa had no history prior to the arrival of Europeans other than the “unedifying gyrations of barbarous tribes in picturesque but irrelevant corners of the globe.” See Trevor-Roper, H. R., “The Rise of Christian Europe,” Listener 70, no. 1809 (Nov. 1963).Google Scholar
