Part of Routledge's successful "Companions to History" series, this is an essential companion to the process of decolonization - perhaps one of the most important historical processes of the twentieth century. Examining decolonization in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific, the "Companion" includes: thematic chapters, a detailed chronology and thorough glossary, biographies of key figures, and maps. Providing comprehensive coverage of a broad and complex subject area, the guide explores: the global context for decolonization; nationalism and the rise of resistance movements; resistance by white settlers and moves towards independence; Hong Kong and Macau, and decolonization in the late twentieth century; debates surrounding neo-colonialism, and the rise of 'development' projects and aid; and the legacy of colonialism in law, education, administration and the military. With suggestions for further reading, and a guide to sources, this is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the colonial and post-colonial eras, and is an indispensable guide to the reshaping of the world in the twentieth century.
