By focusing on the careers of former French colonial administrators who transferred to the European Commission in Brussels after African independence, it offers startling new insights into the continuities between colonial and development/post-colonial policies in Africa and in Europe. - Tony Chafer, Centre for European and International Studies Research, University of Portsmouth, UK
