[edit] AGENCY AND ACTION IN COLONIAL AFRICA

The coming of colonialism to Sub-saharan Africa generated many forces that historians often describe in abstract terms. Such terms often hide or overwhelm individual experiences. 'Agency and action in colonial Africa' attempts to capture the role of these 'agents' of empire.

The coming of colonialism to Subsaharan Africa generated many forces that historians often describe in abstract terms: peasantization, leadership, nationalism and even colonialism. Such terms often hide or overwhelm the individual experiences of those who, in some way, contributed to the development and demise of colonial Africa. These 'agents' of empire - intellectuals and peasants, chiefs and ex-slaves, nationalists and colonial officials - symbolise the ambiguities of and limitations on colonial power. Agency and Action in Colonial Africa attempts to capture their role.
