Download or read book To Independence and Beyond written by Peter Snelson and published by . This book was released on 1993-04-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of education and training in developing countries is central to Peter Snelson's memoirs. After Cambridge, RAF service and teaching in Britain, in 1954 he went to Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia), where he worked as a teacher and education officer, later becoming Director of Planning at the Ministry of Education. He experienced at first hand the effects of the intense, sometimes violent, political activity of the years leading up to Zambia's independence, and knew many of the leading actors in the drama. After independence, he stayed on to assist with the integration of African and non-African education and the huge expansion of education that followed. In 1968, Mr Snelson returned to Britain and joined the Commonwealth Secretariat, where he was responsible for developing the Fellowships and Training Programme of the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation. Among the special assignments he undertook for the Secretary-General was support for the Commonwealth Group which observed Zimbabwe's pre-independence elections. He writes with sympathy, informed understanding and humour of a turbulent period in Africa's recent history, and of the development of the modern Commonwealth.

Download or read book Yesterday s Rulers written by Robert Heussler and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1963-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over thirty years, the man chiefly responsible for the selection of men to rule the British colonies was R. D. Furse. He found the qualities needed—courage, firmness, dignity, sympathy, and physical and moral stamina—in members of the British ruling classes, prepared by tradition and by education at Public Schools and at Oxford and Cambridge. In this lively study of recruitment for the administrative branch of the British colonial service under Furse, the author writes: “Colonial officials of the interwar years were a mixed lot. . . . But in the judgment of those who selected them they had in common that passion for ruling which Santayana and other acute observers of the English scene have identified as a distinctively British national trait.” It is Heussler’s thesis that the men in the colonies, rather than official policy, made British colonialism what it was; and Furse’s selection of those men was governed by moral rather than scientific requirements. The book traces the colonial administrative service from the time when Africa was “the white man’s grave” to the years after World War II when the need for special, formal training had become urgent and recommendations for reform were put into effect. By the time cadets trained in the “new spirit” arrived in their posts, however, Kwame Nkrumah had already raised the banner of independence, and the effect of the old spirit—elitist, paternalistic, authoritarian—was put to the test in a disturbed sociopolitical atmosphere.
Download or read book Intermediaries Interpreters and Clerks written by Benjamin N. Lawrance and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-09-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young man in South Africa, Nelson Mandela aspired to be an interpreter or clerk, noting in his autobiography that “a career as a civil servant was a glittering prize for an African.” Africans in the lower echelons of colonial bureaucracy often held positions of little official authority, but in practice these positions were lynchpins of colonial rule. As the primary intermediaries among European colonial officials, African chiefs, and subject populations, these civil servants could manipulate the intersections of power, authority, and knowledge at the center of colonial society. By uncovering the role of such men (and a few women) in the construction, function, and legal apparatus of colonial states, the essays in this volume highlight a new perspective. They offer important insights on hegemony, collaboration, and resistance, structures and changes in colonial rule, the role of language and education, the production of knowledge and expertise in colonial settings, and the impact of colonization in dividing African societies by gender, race, status, and class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Civil Service: Home, Colonial, Indian, and Diplomatic A personal experience Of forty-two years inside the British Civil Service, and the practical handling as a journalistic leader-writer of a considerable number of Civil Service questions arising from time to time for discussion in the public press, may, perhaps, be deemed sufficient warrant to me for writing this book. I venture to think I shall be doing a public service by its issue. My aim throughout it has been to show, by stimulating examples afforded of men who have succeeded in reaching high positions and honours, what, by perseverance and indomitable energy, can be accomplished in the finest administrative service in the world employing something like a quarter of a million of persons.
