This book charts the decolonization of Asia, Africa and the
Caribbean from 1945 to the present day, analyzing the ways in which
countries separated themselves from the control of the European
Powers. The author provides a concise historiographical survey of
decolonization, placing the last days of the empire in the context
of long-term international developments.
For the "Second Edition," a new chapter has been added to
examine the post-Cold War realignments in Central and Eastern
Europe which mark the final phase of decolonization. Coverage is
also given to the hand-over of Hong Kong from Britain to China in
1997. In view of recent changes, the conclusion has also been fully
revised.
The text also includes an updated chronology of events and a
completely rewritten bibliography, to guide the student to further
reading.
