| Yhteenveto: | The history of decolonization is usually written backward, as if the end-point (a world of juridically equivalent nation-states) was known from the start. But the routes out of colonial empire appear more varied. Some Africans sought equal rights within empire, others to federate among themselves; some sought independence.

Frederick Cooper explores how these alternative possibilities narrowed between 1945 and approximately 1960. |
