Document Summary
Nowhere in africa did colonialism last for 100 years 1880s-1970"s: but made an impact on the continent. The imperial system stands out as one of the most powerful engines for cultural diffusion in africa. Its credit balance outweighs its debit account: had some positives and some negatives. Learn from mistakes: colonialism isolated and insulated africa from these changes. Introduced them to the world economy: transportation and communication was inadequate and uneven, delayed industrial and tech advancements in africa total neglect of how they did things. Ignored industrialization that could have allowed them to keep autonomy over production: pre-existing industries eradicated. In the interior: only a small percentage of inds actually got in, curricula had no relevance to the needs and aspirations fo african"s. First article shows that"s not the case: social impact new social classes, growing in complexity of social classes, military elite, churches remain.
