- This book is the first full-length history of African universities’ role in decolonisation and national development. It offers a multi-layered analysis of Nigerian universities in relation to late-colonial and postcolonial politics, architecture, quotidian culture, and the global Cold War. The book is rooted in eight years of research. It uses materials from eighteen archives in Nigeria, the US, and the UK, including the records of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria’s first university, which are not publicly accessible. The book also draws on dozens of contemporary newspapers and magazines, and new oral history interviews conducted in Nigeria and the UK.
