Cultures of decolonisation combines studies of visual, literary and
material cultures in order to explore the complexities of the 'end
of empire' as a process. Where other accounts focus on high
politics and constitutional reform, this volume reveals the diverse
ways in which cultures contributed to wider political, economic and
social change. This book demonstrates the transnational character
of decolonisation, thereby illustrating the value of comparison -
between different cultural forms and diverse places - in
understanding the nature of this wide-reaching geopolitical change.
Individual chapters focus on architecture, theatre, museums,
heritage sites, fine art and interior design, alongside
institutions such as artists' groups, language agencies and the
Royal Mint, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. Offering
a range of disciplinary perspectives, these contributions provide
revealing case studies for those researching decolonisation across
the humanities and social sciences.
