Decolonization: Making of the Contemporary World Book

The end of the colonial empire was a global phenomenon which left profound changes that contributed to the shape of the modern international political, social and economic system. Decolonization considers this "process" and the outcomes which have left a legacy of problems, drawing on numerous examples including Ghana, India, Rwanda and Hong Kong. Raymond Betts examines the effects of the two World Wars on the colonial empire; the expectations and problems created by independence; the major demographic shifts accompanying the end of the empire; the cultural experiences, literary movements and the search for ideology of the dying empire; and the newly independent nations. Decolonization gives a concise, original and multi-disciplinary introduction to this topic and analyzes what the future holds beyond the empire.Read More
