“Development” played various and at times contradicting roles in the discursive and non-discursive practices of late colonialism. It both served to legitimize European control and to underpin African endeavours for social and political emancipation.
This workshop aims at exploring discourses of development during the period when development first came to play a central role in shaping the relations between Africa and Europe, that is between the end of World War I and decolonization (1918-ca. 1960).
