The Routledge Companion to Decolonization [EPUB ebook] 

Support

This is an essential companion to the process of decolonization – perhaps one of the most important historical processes of the twentieth century. Examining decolonization in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific, the Companion includes:


  • thematic chapters

  • a detailed chronology and thorough glossary

  • biographies of key figures

  • maps.


Providing comprehensive coverage of a broad and complex subject area, the guide explores:


  • the global context for decolonization

  • nationalism and the rise of resistance movements

  • resistance by white settlers and moves towards independence

  • Hong Kong and Macau, and decolonization in the late twentieth century

  • debates surrounding neo-colonialism, and the rise of ‘development’ projects and aid

  • the legacy of colonialism in law, education, administration and the military.


With suggestions for further reading, and a guide to sources, this is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the colonial and post-colonial eras, and is an indispensable guide to the reshaping of the world in the twentieth century.
