book description

The book you mentioned, written by Leslie James and published by Palgrave, argues that the rising tide of anti-colonialism after the 1930s should be considered a turning point. It suggests that this period was not just about harnessing a new mood or feeling of unity but primarily viewed empire, racism, and economic degradation as part of a system that fundamentally required the application of strategy to their destruction.
