Intermediaries, Interpreters, and Clerks: African Employees in the Making of Colonial Africa - Africa and the Diaspora: History, Politics, Culture
Benjamin N Lawrance
African civil servants in the colonial era--working as intermediaries among European colonial officials, African chiefs, and subject populations--were able to manipulate the intersections of power, authority, and knowledge at the center of colonial society. These essays explore the role of African civil servants in the construction, function, and legal apparatus of colonial states and offer new insights on hegemony, resistance, language, and education.
