The British Intellectual Engagement With Africa in the Twentieth Century

The founding of the African Society in 1901 marked the emergence of scholarly British interests in Africa. This book traces the subsequent evolution of a British Africanist community, particularly but not only in the universities of both the UK and Africa. The story of this intellectual engagement over the century is then told by leading Africanists from the standpoints of history, political science, social anthropology, physical geography, literature, and economic thought.Rimmer, Douglas is the author of 'The British Intellectual Engagement With Africa in the Twentieth Century', published 2000 under ISBN 9780312229504 and ISBN 031222950X.
