Reviews

'This book is an important contribution to the historiography of decolonisation ...' Arlis '... the book benefits from a really excellent introduction by the editors, which situates the material in its political and cultural contexts, as well as deftly introducing the contributions of the invited authors and the main issues that the collection seeks to address... This current volume, edited by Faulkner and Ramamurthy, would be an excellent base from which to proceed. The book has lots of very useful bibliographic references in a range of subject areas, and [...] would be a useful addition to any scholarly library.' The Art Book '... important and provocative collection...' Journal of British Studies
