He addressed a plenary session of the Quinquennial Congress of the Association of Universities of the Commonwealth in London later that year. He was elected President of the West African Science Association at its biennial conference in April. University Status The session was a very significant one for the College in many ways. It saw, for instance, the first firm move towards University status when Council in March, 1963 unanimously decided that the College should become autonomous within the next triennium, that is between 1964 and 1967, and set up a committee to go into the iegal and constitutional changes necessary towards this end.

  • Pan-African History: Political Figures from Africa and The
    Pan-African History Pan-Africanism, the perception by people of African origins and descent that they have interests in common, has been an important by-product of colonialism and the enslavement of African peoples by Europeans. Though it has taken a variety of forms over the two centuries of its fight for equality and against economic exploitation, commonality has been a unifying theme for many Black people, resulting for example in the Back-to-Africa movement in the United States but also in nationalist beliefs such as an African ‘supra-nation’. Pan-African History brings together Pan-Africanist thinkers and activists from the Anglophone and Francophone worlds of the past two hundred years. Included are well-known figures such as Malcolm X, W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, Kwame Nkrumah, and Martin Delany, and the authors’ original research on lesser-known figures such as Constance Cummings-John and Dusé Mohamed Ali reveals exciting new aspects of Pan-Africanism. Hakim Adi is Senior Lecturer in African and Black British History at Middlesex University, London. He is a founder member and currently Chair of the Black and Asian Studies Association and is the author of West Africans in Britain 1900–1960: Nationalism, Pan-Africanism and Communism (1998) and (with M. Sherwood) The 1945 Manchester Pan-African Congress Revisited (1995). Marika Sherwood is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London. She is a founder member and Secretary of the Black and Asian Studies Association; her most recent books are Claudia Jones: A Life in Exile (2000) and Kwame Nkrumah: The Years Abroad 1935–1947 (1996).

    Copyright 2014 Zachary Daniel Poppel FROM THE SOIL UP: SIERRA LEONE AND THE RURAL UNIVERSITY IN THE WAKE OF EMPIRE BY ZACHARY DANIEL POPPEL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Antoinette Burton, Chair Assistant Professor Tariq Ali Associate Professor Teresa Barnes Associate Professor James Brennan Professor Kristin Hoganson ABSTRACT After the formal end of empire, African academics, students and campus laborers worked to upend enduring British authority over urban and rural higher education in Africa. In Sierra Leone, British professors and their families remained on the campuses after independence in 1961 and maintained a high level of residential and administrative privileges. To translate persistent inequalities into new forms of African autonomy, Sierra Leoneans sustained an everyday campaign to protest the racialized division of resources, and at the same time recruited American personnel in order to dislodge British academics and delink African universities from British universities. Amidst these conditions, challenges to the uneven distribution of scarce campus resources—from housing to piped water—aided wider campaigns to level the material conditions of international development. And the local agendas of campus workers, from their dislike of British food to their preference for ginger farming, impeded some of the agendas of a postcolonial state and its Anglo-American partners. The widespread effort to reclaim local control of African universities ultimately changed institutions in Britain and the United States, and yielded new forms of African influence on American expansion in the wake of British decline.

  • The Athens of West Africa: International Education at Fourah Bay College, 1814-2002
    Southeastern Regional Seminar in African Studies (SERSAS) Spring 2002 SERSAS Conference 22 - 23 March 2002 Georgia State Univers ity The Athens of West Africa: International Education at Fourah Bay College, 1814-2002 Danial J. Paracka, Jr., Assistant Director The International Center of Kennesaw State Uni versity Kennesaw, Georgia, USA [email protected] Copyright © 2001 by SERSAS and Dan Paracka All Rights Reserved Fourah Bay pioneered the modern concept in which universities were not only seats of learning for a particular country but were instruments for fostering friendship and understanding among the peoples of the world.[1] This paper is about Fourah Bay College (FBC) and its role as an institution of higher learning in both its African and international context. The study traces the College's development through periods of missionary education (1816-1876), colonial education (1876-1938), and development education (1938-2001). This work distinguishes the individual accomplishments of FBC students, faculty, and alumni from the constraints of a rather narrow curriculum and chronically under-funded institution. FBC was known as the "Athens of West Africa" due to a strong focus within its curriculum on learning Greek and Latin and because of the success of its graduates at home and abroad.[2] The text most often employed for the study of Greek was the Greek New Testament. Founded by the Anglican Church, FBC was not a secular college. Students studied to become priests and catechists and helped spread Christianity throughout West Africa. It is the oldest Western- styled College in Africa.[3] FBC was a European institution transported and situated in West Africa valued for its traditional Western academic focus and Christian character.
