Mfum - Mensah Obed - We Come As Members Of The Superior Race Distortions And Education Policy Discourse In Sub - Saharan Africa - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Westerners have long represented Africans as backwards primitive and unintelligent distortions which have opened the door for American philanthropies to push their own education agendas in Africa. We Come as Members of the Superior Race discusses the origin and history of these dangerous stereotypes and western infantilization of African societies exploring how their legacy continues to inform contemporary educational and development discourses. By viewing African societies as subordinated in a global geopolitical order these problematic stereotypes continue to influence education policy and research in Sub - Sahara Africa today.
