Decolonization in the Third World has most often been approached by
tracing the ties of nationalist movements to the attainment of
independence. This book attempts to revise the perspective. It
presents a model of decolonization centring on the idea that the
process was shaped by the reaction of colonial interests to the
ascendancy of a nationalist elite. Rather than tracing the upward
development of a nationalist movement, it traces the downward
manipulation of that movement into a colonial system. The study
concludes that instead of being a separating step to remove
colonial influence, decolonization in more important respects
ensured the continuity of the colonial political economy. The book
is of interest to scholars, students and others interested in
decolonization, white settles, East African affairs and land
reform, as well as the general reader following current events in
Africa.
