Raymond F.Betts is Professor of History at the University of Kentucky. With an annotated bibliography and a chronology of political decolonization, Decolonization gives a concise, original, and multidisciplinary introduction to this controversial theme, and analyzes what the future holds, beyond empire. Drawing on numerous examples, including those of Ghana, India, Rwanda, and Hong Kong, The author examines the: Įffects of two World Wars on the colonial empire, 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. In Decolonization Raymond Betts considers this process and its outcomes. The mid-twentieth century experienced the end of the colonial empire, a global phenomenon that left profound changes and created enormous problems contributing to the shape of the contemporary world order and the domestic development of the newly emerging states in the “Third World”.
