Summary
After the Second World War, developed countries’ cultural organisations started to manifest an increasingly very important dynamism overseas to help gaining support for national policies respectively. The British Council was encouraged by its government to expand in British colonies This Council’s backed development was in tune with the harsh realities of post World War in which Britain’s glorious imperial image was seriously damaged. Britain was perceived to be an old-fashioned, outmoded power She had to promote a new image of herself as a dynamic, progressive democracy at the centre of a world-wide association of peoples, providing alternatives to communism and free-market capitalism. The Manchester Pan-Africanism Congress of 1945 called colonial and African peoples to oppose fervently imperial exploitation of their own resources They demanded equal and accelerated economic, cultural and social development of Africa ; a larger participation of Africans in the administration of their countries at different levels to prepare self government, a systematic planning and evolution especially in the interests of the Africans.[1]
