But in spite of their importance in administering such vast imperial territories, the attitudes of officials who served between the end of the nineteenth century and the Second World War, as well as what shaped such attitudes, have yet to be examined in any systematic way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this original and revisionist work, now available in paperback, Prior draws upon an enormous array of private and official papers to address some key questions about the colonial services. How did officials' education and training affect the ways that they engaged with Africa? How did officials relate to one another? How did officials seek to understand Africa and Africans? How did they respond to infrastructural change? How did they deal with anti-colonial nationalism? This work will be of value to students and lecturers alike interested in British, imperial and African history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Prior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719099293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719099298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Christopher Prior","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443637793023,"sku":"9780719099298","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfc0f733-2e89-4b2b-b2ba-a396feb9b4be.jpg?v=1777206800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exporting-empire-christopher-prior-9780719099298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
