The mid-twentieth century saw the end of colonial empires, a global
phenomenon that brought about profound changes and created enormous
problems. Decolonization played a major part in shaping the
contemporary world order and the domestic development of newly
emerging states in the 'Third World'. In Decolonization, Raymond
Betts considers this process and its outcomes. Drawing on numerous
examples, including those of Ghana, India, Rwanda and Hong Kong,
the author examines: the effects of two World Wars on the colonial
empire the expectations and problems created by independence Major
demographic shifts accompanying the end of empire Cultural
experiences, literary movements and the search for ideology of the
dying empire and newly independent nations The second edition
brings the discussion up to date and looks at contemporary concerns
such as the growth of Islamic Fundamentalism, 9/11, globalization
and the AIDS pandemic.
