Chapter 8 notes that education has been a major arena for transatlantic contact, and that it has also had political implications: seeking educations abroad offered some students a way to challenge racism and segregation. It takes three cases of such transatlantic educations—Alexander Crummell, Yolande Du Bois, and John Dube—and suggests ways in which their experiences show educational theories crossing and converging in Britain and South Africa. Dube’s example itself led to claimant fictions, by John Buchan and George Heaton Nicholls: the chapter shows how these drew on the imperial romances of H. Rider Haggard, reimagined in these novels with the conventions of claimant fiction. |
