Description: "Political independence in Africa during the early 1960s and mid-1970s inspired Africans to fight for independence in other spheres of life, including education. In East Africa, the development of higher education, which reached its apogee in 1963 with the establishment of the Federal University of East Africa, happened within the broader political context of the time."-- Back cover.
