Beskrivning

John Kent has written the first full scholarly study of British and French policy in their West African colonies during the Second World War and its aftermath. His detailed analysis shows how the broader requirements of Anglo-French relations in Europe and the wider world shaped the formulation and execution of the two colonial powers' policy in Black Africa. He examines the guiding principles of the policy-makers in London and Paris and the problems experienced by the colonial administrators themselves.This is a genuinely comparative study, thoroughly grounded in both French and British archives, and it sheds new light on the development of Anglo-French co-operation in colonial matters in this period.

`Picking out the detailed threads of this story has clearly been a hugely laborious task in which the author has trawled archives in both Britain and France. ... most historians of empire interested in post-war decolonization will need to read this volume, and one can say without bathos that it is a valuable addition to the literature.'Inst. of Commonwealth Studies
