In his critique of how education research in Africa is dictated by foreign aid and external agendas, Joel Samoff examines how the interconnected institutions that generate knowledge about the continent are more concerned with reproducing the national political economy than changing it and generally prioritise conservative social engineering over social justice.

Joel Samoff is affiliated with the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, USA, and retired Adjunct Professor of African Studies in the School of Humanities and Sciences.
