Africa as a Living Laboratory by Helen Tilley
Tropical Africa was one of the last regions of the world to experience formal European colonialism, a process that coincided with the advent of a range of scientific specialties and research methods. This title studies the thorny relationship between imperialism and the role of scientific expertise in the colonization of British Africa.
"This is an ingenious book that will establish Helen Tilley as a considerable authority in the fieldTilley's unusually rich and sensitive exploration of primary materials and firm grounding in the existing literature will help students and scholars reorient their understanding of the crucial roles scientific agencies played both in imperial administration and economic development." (Simon Schaffer, University of Cambridge)"
