    Book description

    The middle decades of the twentieth century witnessed the great dramas of the ending of Western imperial rule in Africa and Asia. A series of nationalist onslaughts was launched against the British Empire and these greatly reshaped the modern world. Professor Anthony Low has studied the end of the British Empire and its aftermath for many years. This volume brings together for the first time many of his major essays on the subject.

    Reviews

    ‘These essays reflect the interplay of autobiography and academic scholarship. Future authors … will have to wrestle with the definitions of causes, categories, chronologies and consequences distilled in Anthony Low’s pages.’

    Andrew Porter Source: The Times Literary Supplement

    ‘His extensive scholarly experience of East Africa … and of India, has conferred upon Low a rich understanding of national, sub-national and local politics in these regions. To his grassroot view of events and processes he adds a commanding metropolitan perception.’

    Ravinder Kumar Source: The Book Review (India)

    ‘He … displays … astute analysis and the mastery of a wide range of sources.’

    Ian Talbot Source: Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History
