Leadership in Colonial Africa

Taken together, the chapters in this book represent a tapestry of leadership frameworks and cultures in colonial Africa. Scholars across disciplines explore the nature and evolution of leadership born of the colonial encounter between white colonialists and native Africans as well as the leadership that ultimately led to independence. The styles of nationalist leaders, Apartheid-era South African leaders like John Vorster, and pan-Africanist leaders like W. E. B. DuBois are examined and discussed. This critical analysis offers an overview of the leadership practice during colonization and lays the groundwork for the discussion of future leadership in Africa.--Provided by publisher.
