My secondary school history book had a map just like this.
Perhaps my experience was different, but I am pretty sure my high school world history course textbook had a map almost exactly like this one. Last time I taught an early modern Europe survey, I showed a map much like this (but global and only to 1815, where the course stopped).https://twitter.com/ClaudiaWebbe/status/1379154026286227463 …

Pretty sure mine too. Maybe UK textbooks are different, but would be weird if we talked more about Race for Africa in the States than they do in the UK.

I don't think so - British history courses have 1000+ years to "explore", most pupils only study history until they're 14 and I my experience of learning about colonialism was much more focused on the Atlantic Slave Trade

I feel like it would be more revolutionary to have a series of maps of Africa that was a time lapse of ethnic groups/cultural groups/nations/empires over time to really break up that image of Africa as an culturally homogenous and also featureless landmass.
-
Maybe with notable locations like the University of Timbuktu, noteworthy people of a given era, languages, religions, migrations, cultural splits and mergers... It's good to show what colonialism did to Africa but it doesn't mean anything if Africa is just an unpeopled mass.

Framing aside, this is very interesting, and something I've not thought of in ages. Thanks for rting it

I feel like "this is what I was taught" anecdotes are fairly meaningless by themselves, but I studied history up to AS level (2010) and definitely didn't cover anything on British colonies besides their occasional relevance to 'mainland' politics

We had a course on the Atlantic Slave Trade in Year 9, and once mentioned Isandlwana (in an AS course on Disraeli & Gladstone), but I definitely don't think it's a given that my generation in the UK had any other formal education on colonialism in Africa

This was, like, the only thing we learned about Africa in high school, apart from the usual Mansa Musa detour and a few notes under Indian Ocean trade networks
