这篇文章提出了这样一个问题：如果我们从尼日利亚开始，而不是从地理历史上的美国或英国开始，会怎么样？以1948年至1990年在尼日利亚第一所大学工作的尼日利亚地理学家为重点，并借鉴档案证据和新的口述历史访谈，本文认为，从尼日利亚的观点提供了重要的地理历史的新视角。首先，它突出了尼日利亚学者的学术贡献，说明了许多传统历史的片面性和排他性。其次，它阐明了冷战对这门学科的影响，这种影响远远超出了美国和苏联。第三，这一新视角使我们有可能重新审视当代英美国际地理霸权，为西方以外的学者提供这种霸权后果的证据，并揭示在某些时候似乎可能出现的等级较少的替代方案。第四，通过强调结构的变化，促进和排除参与国际地理社区的机会，本文提供了一个原始的洞察学术劳动的条件，并考虑了什么，在未来建设一个更平等的学术社区的工作，我们可以从这个早期学习的关键问题。关键词：学术劳动、英美霸权、冷战、非殖民化、地理史、尼日利亚。
This article asks this question: What if, rather than starting from the United States or the United Kingdom in histories of geography, we start from Nigeria? Focusing on Nigerian geographers working in Nigeria’s first university from 1948 to 1990 and drawing on archival evidence and new oral history interviews, this article argues that the view from Nigeria offers significant new perspectives on the history of geography. First, it highlights the intellectual contribution of Nigerian scholars, illustrating the partial and exclusionary nature of many traditional histories. Second, it illuminates the as yet unacknowledged impact of the Cold War on the discipline far beyond the United States and Soviet Union. Third, this new perspective makes it possible to consider afresh the contemporary Anglo-American hegemony of international geography, providing evidence of the consequences of this hegemony for scholars working beyond the West and revealing the less hierarchical alternatives that at some moments appeared possible. Fourth, by highlighting the shifting structures that facilitated and foreclosed opportunities for participation in the international geographical community, the article provides an original insight into the conditions of academic labor and considers the crucial question of what, for the work of constructing a more equal academic community in the future, we might learn from this earlier period. Key Words: academic labor, Anglo-American hegemony, Cold War, decolonization, history of geography, Nigeria.
