The end of World War I saw the former German protectorate of
Togoland split into British- and French-administered territories.
By the 1950s a political movement led by the Ewe ethnic group
called for the unification of British and French Togoland into an
independent multiethnic state. Despite the efforts of the Ewe, the
United Nations trust territory of British Togoland was ultimately
merged with the Gold Coast to become Ghana, the first independent
nation in sub-Saharan Africa; French Togoland later declared
independence as the nation of Togo. Based on interviews with former
political activists and their families, access to private papers,
and a collection of oral and written propaganda, this book examines
the history and politics behind the failed project of Togoland
unification. Kate Skinner challenges the marginalization of the
Togoland question from popular and academic analyses of
postcolonial politics and explores present-day ramifications of the
contingencies of decolonization.
