Book
The ends of European colonial empires : cases and comparisons / edited by Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal and António Costa Pinto, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal.
Authored by some of the leading experts of the field of decolonization studies, this volume provides a series of historical studies that analyse the diverse trajectories of the Portuguese, Belgian, French, British, and Dutch imperial demise, enabling comparative insights about the similarities and differences between the main events and processes involved. Addressing different geographies and taking into account diverse chronologies of decolonization, this volume explores the intersections between imperial and colonial endgames and histories of cold war, of development, of labour, of human rights and of international organizations, therefore elucidating their connection with wider, global historical processes.
