Using political, cultural and spatial approaches, the book shows that Nigerians and foreign donors alike saw the nation’s new universities as vital institutions: a means to educate future national leaders, drive economic growth, and make a modern Nigeria. Universities were vibrant places, centres of nightlife, dance, and the construction of spectacular buildings, as well as teaching and research. At universities, students, scholars, visionaries, and rebels considered and contested colonialism, the global Cold War, and the future of Nigeria. University life was shaped by, and formative to, experiences of development and decolonisation. The book will be of interest to historians of Africa, empire, education, architecture, and the Cold War. . | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | education; higher education; university; Cold War; Decolonisation; Development; USA; Africa | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-56505-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-56505-1Series ISSN 2635-1633 Series E-ISSN 2635-1641 | issn_series | 2635-1633 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
