Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the long history of the demand for the establishment of universities in colonial Africa, a demand to which the British colonial authorities finally agreed, after the Second World War. Addresses the political motivation behind this concept, and tells the story of how, by 1943, the idea was taken up by the Colonial Office as a means of "managing" African nationalism. The creation of university colleges, as part of an "empire" of London University, became a reality in 1948, and one of the most important of the colonial reforms which led to decolonization.
