It centres on The African Institute of Colwyn Bay, or 'Congo House', at which almost 90 children and young adults from Africa and its diaspora were enrolled to train as missionaries between 1889 and 1911. Burroughs finds that, though their encounters in Britain were shaped by the racism and paternalism of the late-nineteenth-century civilising mission, the students were not simply the objects of British charity. They were also agents in a culture of evangelical humanitarianism. Some were fully absorbed in the civilising mission, becoming leading missionaries. Others adapted their experiences to new ends, participating in networks of pan-Africanism that questioned race prejudice and colonialism. In their negotiations of the challenges and opportunities at the heart of the empire, the students of Congo House reveal how the global currents of black history shaped the localised cultures of Victorian philanthropy. From racism to pan-Africanism, this study sheds new light on key issues in black British history. 606 $aBlack people$zGreat Britain$xPolitics and government 610 00$ablack history 610 00$astudents 610 00$aAfrica 610 00$aimperialism 610 00$ahumanitarianism 610 00$awales 610 00$ablack 615 0$aBlack people$xPolitics and government. 676 $a305.89604100904 700 $aBurroughs$b Robert$01273349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595092603321 996 $aBlack Students in Imperial Britain$93000698 997 $aUNINA
