Decolonization (The Making of the Contemporary World)

<p>Raymond F. Betts considers the 'process' of decolonization and the outcomes which have left a legacy of problems, drawing on numerous examples including Ghana, India, Rwanda and Hong Kong. He examines:</p> <ul>
<li>the effects of the two World Wars on the colonial empire</li> <li>the expectations and problems created by independence</li> <li>the major demographic shifts accompanying the end of the empire</li> <li>the cultural experiences, literary movements, and the search for ideology of the dying empire and the newly independent nations.</li>
</ul>
<p>With an annotated bibliography and a chronology of political decolonization, Decolonization gives a concise, original and multi-disciplinary introduction to this controversial theme and analyzes what the future holds beyond the empire.</p>
