Popular Responses to the End of Empire offers a new paradigm to understand decolonisation in Europe by showing how it was fundamentally a fluid process of fluxes and refluxes involving not only transfers of populations, ideas and socio-cultural practices across continents but also complex intra-European dynamics at a time of political convergence following the Treaty of Rome. Decolonisation was neither a process of sudden, rapid changes to European cultures nor one of cultural inertia, but a development marked by fluidity, movement, and dynamism. Rather than being a static process where Europe's (former) metropoles and their peoples 'at home' reacted to the end of empire 'out there', decolonisation translated into new realities for Europe's cultures, societies, and politics as flows, ebbs, fluxes, and cultural refluxes reshaped both former colonies and former metropoles. The volume's contributors set out a carefully crafted panorama of decolonisation's sequels in European popular culture by means of in-depth studies of specific cases and media, analysing the interwoven meaning, momentum, memory, material culture, and migration patterns of the end of empire across eight major European countries. The revised meaning of 'decolonisation' that emerges will challenge scholars in several fields, and the panorama of new research in the book charts paths for new investigations. The question mark in the title asks not only how European cultures experienced the 'end of empire' but also the extent to which this is still a work in progress"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aEmpires and the making of the modern world, 1650-2000. 606 $aCollective memory$zEurope 606 $aPostcolonialism$xSocial aspects 606 $aDecolonization$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xColonies$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aPostcolonialism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDecolonization$xHistory. 676 $a325.3094 702 $aSe?be$b Berny 702 $aStanard$b Matthew G. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794177403321 996 $aDecolonising Europe$93700696 997 $aUNINA
