Britain, France and the Decolonization of Africa: Future Imperfect?

by Andrew W.M. Smith

Book Overview

Looking at decolonization in the conditional tense, this volume teases out the complex and uncertain ends of British and French empire in Africa in the period after 1945. Rather than view decolonization as an inevitable process, the contributors explore crucial moments in which change was negotiated, compromises were made, and debates were staged.
