- Summary:
- What is decolonization? How did decolonization transform the colonial and European metropolitan societies in the aftermath of World War II? How does the legacy of decolonization continue to affect postcolonial politics as well as cultural and intellectual life in the former European powers and ex-colonies? Assembled in "The Decolonization Reader" for the first time is a unique and broad set of responses to these and other important questions. In an attempt to better define the emerging field of decolonization, this unparalleled collection of essays authored by many of the world's leading scholars addresses a host of complex issues-including metropolitan politics, gender, sexuality, race, culture, nationalism and economy. Grouped around decolonization's most salient themes, this dynamic spectrum of essays is intended to encourage specialist and non-specialists alike to consider decolonization in Africa and Asia from a comparative, interdisciplinary perspective.
