Beskrivning

This collection of studies examines the history of the British empire during the 1950s. This is a relatively neglected period in the historiography of British decolonization, coming as it does after the more well researched era of the late 1940s that saw the start of moves to decolonize the empire. The papers in this volume analyze imperial policy and the place of the empire in British society during the 1950s and the degree to which these years represented a period of continuing retreat or of imperial re-assertion.

'Few collections are as significant as this one...[a] stimulating and striking set of essays.' - The Round Table 'The British Empire in the 1950s is a most welcome addition to the historiography of British decolonisation and will be of considerable interest to scholars and students alike. The chapters are well-written and offer a coherent interpretation of the decade which highlights the often contradictory nature of imperial intention and reality.' - Andrew Cohen, South African Historical Journal 'Each of the essays, as well as Martin Lynn's introduction, offers a diverse, fascinating and complex tapestry of the period, rich with complementary as well as colliding opinions. Every article, written by an expert in the field, is thoroughly documented.' - Robert T Harrison, Journal of Contemporary History
