Rather than view decolonization as an inevitable process, the contributors together explore the crucial historical moments in which change was negotiated, compromises were made, and debates were staged. Three core themes guide the analysis: development, contingency and entanglement. The chapters consider the ways in which decolonization was governed and moderated by concerns about development and profit. A complementary focus on contingency allows deeper consideration of how colonial powers planned for 'colonial futures', and how divergent voices greeted the end of empire. Thinking about entanglements likewise stresses both the connections that existed between the British and French empires in Africa, and those that endured beyond the formal transfer of power. 606 $aDecolonization$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xColonization 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 610 $aempire 610 $afrance 610 $adecolonization 610 $aafrica 610 $abritain 610 $acolonial 610 $aHuman rights 615 0$aDecolonization 676 $a960.3 700 $aJeppesen$b Chris$4edt$01363990 702 $aSmith$b Andrew W.
