- This monograph is the result of five years of doctoral and postdoctoral research synthesizing archival material from Trinidad, Ghana, Russia, France, the United States, and the UK. By stretching across the interwar and postwar periods that are often analysed separately, this book makes a distinct contribution by assessing the impact of interwar anti-colonial politics upon postwar decolonisation. What distinguished anti-colonialism after the 1940s was not a new mood or feeling, but the view that empire, racism, and economic degradation were part of a system that fundamentally required the application of strategy to their destruction.
