With the loss of India however, the British under Harold Macmillan attempted to enforce a 'second' colonial occupation - supporting the efforts of Sir Andrew Cohen of the Colonial Office to create a Central African Federation. Drawing on newly released archival material, The Politics and Economics of Decolonization offers a fresh examination of Britain's central African territories in the late colonial period and provides a detailed assessment of how events in Britain, Africa and the UN shaped the process of decolonization. The author situates the Central African Federation - which consisted of modern day Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi - in its wider international context, shedding light on the Federation's complex relationships with South Africa, with US Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy and with the expanding United Nations. The result is an important history of the last days of the British Empire and the beginnings of a more independent African continent. 651 0 $a Rhodesia and Nyasaland $x History. 651 0 $a Zimbabwe $x History $y 1890-1965. 651 0 $a Zambia $x History $y 1953-1964. 651 0 $a Malawi $x History $y 1953-1964. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $z Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a British colonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01910374 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a Africa $z Rhodesia and Nyasaland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209420 651 7 $a Malawi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209421 651 7 $a Zambia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209422 651 7 $a Zimbabwe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209419 650 7 $a Entkolonialisierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kolonie $2 gnd 651 7 $a Afrika $2 gnd 651 7 $a Gro©britannien $2 gnd 651 7 $a Malawi $2 gnd 651 7 $a Sambia $2 gnd 651 7 $a Simbabwe $2 gnd 651 7 $a Zentralafrikanische FoÂderation $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1890-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a International library of African studies ; $v v. 33. $w (NL-LeOCL)147971594 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018013009.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C8A7155AFAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
