Editorial Reviews
Review
The real value of the volume lies in the details. Bush has read widely, as her topic demands-- particularly in secondary literature, but also in some revealing private paper collections.... the book is a legitimate guide to the many shades of ideology and practice that both underpinned and undermined colonialism and white supremacy in the period..
–Kenneth P. Vickery, Comparative/World
Product Description
Looks at British-African relations between the two World Wars and examines the debates surrounding racism, race relations and citizenship during this period and their implications for the rest of the 20th century. Focusing on West Africa, South Africa and Britain, the author charts the growth of anti-colonial resistance and opposition to racism in the prelude to the post-colonial era. It also offers a sophisticated analysis of black identity and nationalism that cuts across cultural, literary and historical studies.
