Kallaway and Swartz’s collection grows out of a desire to stimulate interest in the history of colonial education, as well as their strong international links with historians of education who were drawn to a workshop at the University of Cape Town in 2013 to share new work. While Swartz’s work has focused on the nineteenth century, Kallaway’s recent work has concentrated on the inter-war years. The authors represented in this valuable collection traverse both periods. While the majority of chapters focus on British colonial Africa and just over half on South Africa, the geographical reach of the book spans British, French and German colonies.

彼得·卡拉威（Peter Kallaway）和丽贝卡·斯沃兹（Rebecca Swartz）编辑

Kallaway和Swartz的收藏源于激发对殖民主义教育历史的兴趣，以及与教育历史学家之间的紧密国际联系，他们于2013年被邀请到开普敦大学的一个研讨会上分享新作品。尽管Swartz的工作集中在19世纪，但Kallaway的最新工作却集中在两次战争之间。在这个有价值的收藏中代表作者的经历了两个时期。虽然大多数章节都集中在英国殖民地非洲，而一半以上则集中在南非，但该书的地理范围涵盖英国，法国和德国殖民地。
