Rezensionen

"Ordering Independence examines the decolonization of the Anglophone Caribbean. ... Undergraduate and postgraduate students ... will love Mawby's work. It covers after all the whole region and provides them with a step-by-step overview of the negotiations between nationalist leaders and British policymakers." (Henrice Altink, Journal of Contemporary History, Vol. 51 (1), 2016)
