Beyond Empire and
Nation; The Decolonization of African and Asian societies, 1930s-1960s
(Edited by ) Els Bogaerts
Remco Raben
The decolonization of
countries in Asia and Africa is one of the momentous events in the twentieth
century. But did the shift to independence indeed affect the lives of the
people in such a dramatic way as the political events suggest? The authors in
this volume look beyond the political interpretations of decolonization and
address the issue of social and economic reorientations which were necessitated
or caused by the end of colonial rule. The book covers three major issues:
public security; the changes in the urban environment, and the reorientation of
the economies. Most articles search for comparisons transcending the colonial
and national borders and adopt a time frame extending from the late colonial
period to the early decades of independence in Asia and Africa (1930s-1970s).
The volume is part of the research programme ‘Indonesia across Orders’ of the
Netherlands Institute for War Documentation. Contributors to the volume are:
Greg Bankoff, Raymond Betts, Ann Booth, Cathérine Coquéry-Vidrovitch, Freek
Colombijn, Frederick Cooper, Bill Freund, Karl Hack, Jim Masselos and Willem
Wolters.
