Anticolonialism in British Politics: The Left and the End of Empire 1918-1964
No Customer Reviews
This is the first scholarly study of British anticolonialism, which was an offshoot of a massive global upsurge of anticolonial sentiment which has dominated much of the history of this century. In this wide-ranging and important book, Stephen Howe evaluates the changing ways in which, arising out of the experience of Empire and decolonization, more general ideas about imperialism, nationalism, and underdevelopment were developed during these years. He also surveys the attitudes and activities relating to colonial issues of British critics of Empire during the years of decolonization. The book has considerable contemporary relevance because the Falklands and Gulf Wars, race relations, and South African apartheid cannot fully be understood except in the context of the experience of decolonization and the legacy of Empire.
