Based on material previously inaccessible in the archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations Human Rights Commission, this comparative study uses the Mau Mau War (1952-1956) and the Algerian War (1954-1962) to examine the policies of two major imperial powers, Britain and France. Historian Fabian Klose considers the significance of declared states of emergency, counterinsurgency strategy, and the significance of humanitarian international law in both conflicts. Klose's findings from these previously confidential archives reveal the escalating violence and oppressive tactics used by the British and French military during these anticolonial conflicts in North and East Africa, where Western powers that promoted human rights in other areas of the world were opposed to the growing global acceptance of freedom, equality, self-determination, and other postwar ideals. Practices such as collective punishment, torture, and extrajudicial killings did lasting damage to international human rights efforts until the end of decolonization. Clearly argued and meticulously researched, Human Rights in the Shadow of Colonial Violence demonstrates the mutually impacting histories of international human rights and decolonization, expanding our understanding of political violence in human rights discourse. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aHuman rights$zKenya 606 $aHuman rights$zAlgeria 607 $aKenya$xHistory$yMau Mau Emergency, 1952-1960 607 $aAlgeria$xHistory$yRevolution, 1954-1962 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a965/.046 700 $aKlose$b Fabian$0871428 701 $aGeyer$b Dona$01053091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463527803321 996 $aHuman rights in the shadow of colonial violence$92484770 997 $aUNINA
