Discusses the stereotype of Africans as “primitive” and “unintelligent,” exploring how this legacy has enforced contemporary educational and development discourses which view African societies as subordinated in a global geopolitical order, and how it continues to influence education policy in Sub-Sahara Africa today.

Westerners have long represented Africans as “backwards,” “primitive,” and “unintelligent,” distortions which have opened the door for American philanthropies to push their own education agendas in Africa. We Come as Members of the Superior Race discusses the origin and history of these dangerous stereotypes and western “infantilization” of African societies, exploring how their legacy continues to inform contemporary educational and development discourses. By viewing African societies as subordinated in a global geopolitical order, these problematic stereotypes continue to influence education policy and research in Sub-Sahara Africa today.
