About

Combining the voices of the colonized and the colonizers in Africa, Asia, and throughout the world, Voices of Decolonization recaptures the intensity and variety of the struggles for independence. By exploring decolonization as both a historical era and an aspirational movement, you'll learn how and why mid-twentieth-century decolonization transformed societies and cultures, and continues to shape the world today.
