This is the first full scholarly study of British anticolonialism,
an offshoot of a massive global upsurge of sentiment which has
dominated much of the history of this century. In this wide-ranging
and important book, Stephen Howe surveys the attitudes and
activities relating to colonial issues of British critics of Empire
during the years of decolonisation. He also evaluates the changing
ways in which, arising out of the experience of Empire and
decolonisation, more general ideas about imperialism, nationalism,
and underdevelopment were developed during these years. His
discussion encompasses both the left wing of the Labour Party and
groups outside it: in the Communist Party, other independent
left-wing groups, and single-issue campaigns. The book has
considerable contemporary relevance, for British reactions to more
recent events - the Falklands and Gulf Wars, race relations, South
African apartheid - cannot fully be understood except in the
context of the experience of decolonisation and the legacy of
Empire.
