Historically, scientists and experts have played a prominent role in shaping the relationship between Europe and Africa. Starting with missionary intellectuals in the seventeenth century, European savants have engaged in the study of nature and society in Africa. This book poses questions about the changing role of European science and expert knowledge from early colonial times to post-colonial times. How did science shape understanding of Africa in Europe and how was scientific knowledge shaped, adapted and redefined in African contexts?
