Abstract

The decolonization of the European colonies in Africa and Asia was perhaps the most important historical process of the 20th century. Within less than two decades from 1947 to the mid-1960s several colonial empires disappeared and scores of new nations became independent. Altogether it had taken more than three centuries to expand and consolidate these empires, yet it took less than twenty years for colonialism to become an anachronism. This essential companion to the process of decolonization includes thematic chapters as well as a detailed chronology, a thorough glossary, biographies of key figures, suggestions for further reading, maps and a guide to sources. Examining decolonization in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific this guide explores: The global context for decolonization Nationalism and the rise of resistance movements Resistance by white settlers to moves towards independence Hong Kong and Macau and decolonization in the late 20th century Debates surrounding neo-colonialism, and the rise of 'development' projects and aid The legacy of colonialism in law, education, administration and the military An invaluable resource for students and scholars of the colonial and post-colonial eras, this volume is an indispensable guide to the reshaping of the world in the 20th century.

Abstract

Memories of Post-Imperial Nations presents the first transnational comparison of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Portugal, Italy and Japan, all of whom lost or 'decolonized' their overseas empires after 1945. Since the empires of the world crumbled, the post-imperial nations have been struggling to come to terms with the present, and as recall sets in 'wars of memory' have arisen, leading to a process of collective 'editing'. As these nations rebuild themselves they shed old characteristics and acquire new ones, looking at new orientations. This book brings together varying perspectives with historians and political scientists of these nations attempting to bind memory and its experience of different post-imperial nations.

Abstract

Die Beiträge in diesem Band untersuchen die Reaktionen der außereuropäischen Völker auf die Herausforderungen, die sich durch die europäische Expansion stellten. Dabei steht die Frage im Vordergrund, welche Aspekte der europäischen Kultur übernommen wurden und in welchen Bereichen sich die außereuropäischen Kulturen behaupteten. Der in diesem Band dargestellte Themenkomplex reicht von der Interaktion auf persönlicher Ebene über die Entstehung von Presse und Öffentlichkeit bis zu der Entstehung und dem Wandel außereuropäischer Handelsnetzwerke. Es zeigt sich, daß die europäischen Lebens- und Verhaltensweisen keineswegs universell und gleichförmig übernommen wurden, sondern daß es weiterhin starke, durch das jeweilige Umfeld bestimmte Unterschiede gibt.
