The Rise and Fall of Modern Empires, Volume IV (eBook, ePUB)

Reactions to Colonialism
Redaktion: Shipway, Martin

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The collection of essays in this volume offers an overview of scholarly approaches to the ways in which diverse actors, representing the colonised or the colonising nations, or indeed the international community, reacted to colonialism during the lifetime of the modern colonial empires or in their aftermath. The coverage is broad in terms of geographical scope and historical period and reflects recent academic trends by focusing on countries whose colonial past and experience of decolonisation have been studied and debated with particular intensity, such as Algeria, Kenya and India.
