“…In education, the Education Inspector, or Inspecteur de l’Enseignement , served as a technical advisor to the Governor-General in the AOF and managed education services throughout the AOF, including in each colony (Eizlini, 2012, p. 89). The School Inspectors, or Inspecteurs des écoles , served as educational advisors to the Lieutenant-Governor, and they were selected from the available pool of teachers and held wide ranging powers, the abuse of which was not uncommon (Autra, 1956; Garcia, 1971). With respect to health, in addition to the Colonial Council of Hygiene that reported to the Lieutenant-Governor, there were two key entities: the African Medical Assistance Service, or the Service de l’Assistance Medicale Africaine , and the General Service for Mobile Hygiene and Prophylaxis, or the Service Général d’Hygiène Mobile et de Prophylaxie.…”

Social policy scholars seeking to understand the dynamics of social protection arrangements have advocated for an actor-centric approach. However, when seeking to understand the impact of colonialism on social policymaking, most scholars have focused not on actors but on ideas and institutions. To address this gap, this paper develops an actor-centric framework for understanding the introduction of social policies in colonial contexts. We identify and compare actor constellations of relevance to the introduction of social policies in two colonies of French West Africa that differ with respect to precolonial population density: Dahomey (present-day Benin), with a relatively high precolonial population density, and Côte d’Ivoire, with a relatively low precolonial population density. Despite evidence that precolonial population density can shape colonial strategies and policies, the results provide no supporting evidence that precolonial population density is a driver of meaningful variation in the introduction of social policies or in the composition of the actor constellations from which they originate. Instead, the results point to the key role of transnational and regional actors in the introduction of social policies in colonial contexts. They also highlight the domestic economic and societal arenas as sites where: i) heterogeneity emerges in the social policy actor constellations; and ii) local actors mediate tensions arising from imperially driven social transformations.

“…The superior elementary school of the time consisted of a higher education than the regular elementary schools, reserved to an elite of 20 to 30 students and intended them for the highest administrative functions to which the colonized could aspire. 37 But André Ologoudou, unlike other Africans of his generation, trained in their countries of origin, did not pursue his "school career" in Senegal (notably in the William Ponty school, where Emile spent his time in the 1950s). Émile's grandmother, Ayiye, did not seem to want her only son to leave her for a few years.…”

What can family biographies, life stories and memories of individuals tell us about the sociohistorical transformations of domestic slavery in Benin? By focusing on the generational dynamics of the former slave Ologoudou familly, this article attempts to shed some light on how economic, social or school trajectories have influenced the situation of descendants of slaves in Benin over the generations. The case of the Ologoudou family, descended from a Yoruba slave who arrived in Ouidah in the mid-nineteenth century, shows that domestic slaves, placed under particular conditions, may have had the capacity to take their fate into their own hands and not only to be passive beings as they are often described.
