‘The United Nations Trusteeship System offers a compelling global exploration of the phenomenon of trusteeship in the second half of the twentieth century. Building on an extensive body of scholarship on the United Nations Trusteeship System, these scholars elucidate important continuities with the past but also critical resonances with the present. The chapters in this volume expertly navigate between the global and the local and offer historical perspectives from both Western actors and the inhabitants of trust territories. This book will be essential reading for anyone looking to understand the history of the United Nations as well as scholars and students of European colonialism and decolonization in the twentieth century.’ Jessica Lynne Pearson, Macalester College, USA
