Voices of Decolonization

by Todd Shepard
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

This unprecedented volume shows how and why mid-twentieth-century decolonization transformed societies and cultures and continues to shape today's world. The introduction explores decolonization as both a historical era and an aspirational movement. A rich collection of primary sources combines the voices of the colonized and the colonizers in Africa, Asia, and throughout the world to recapture the intensity and variety of the independence struggles. Organized chronologically and topically, the documents reveal how and why formal decolonization, once an unimaginable prospect to imperialists, came quickly to seem inevitable. Maps, document headnotes, a chronology, questions to consider, and a bibliography enrich students' understanding of decolonization and its enduring consequences.
