Harold Macmillan's 'Wind of Change' speech, delivered to the South
African parliament in Cape Town at the end of a landmark six-week
African tour, presaged the end of the British Empire in Africa.
This book, the first to focus on Macmillan's 'Wind of Change',
comprises a series of essays by leading historians in the field.
Contributors reconsider the significance of the speech within the
politics of different overseas and British constituencies,
including in the wider British World. Some contributors engage
directly with the speech itself - its metropolitan political
context, production, delivery and reception. Others consider
related themes in the historiography of the end of empire. Together
they challenge established orthodoxies and offer fresh perspectives
that require us to revisit our understanding of the place of the
speech, and the policies to which it referred, in the wider history
of British decolonization.
