The Politics of Educational Borrowing: Reopening the Case of Achimota in British Ghana.
Steiner-Khamsi, Gita; Quist, Hubert O.
Comparative Education Review, v44 n3 p272-99 Aug 2000
Modeled on Hampton Institute (Virginia) and Tuskegee Institute (Alabama), Achimota College in colonial Gold Coast (later Ghana) provided Black students with "adapted education" in agriculture and industrial arts, suitable for a life of manual labor. This case of international educational transfer is analyzed from the perspective of the politics of "borrowing" as a means to legitimize contested educational reforms. (SV)
