Decolonising Europe?: Popular Responses to the End of Empire: Empire and the Making of the Modern World, 1650-2000
Editat de Berny Sèbe, Matthew G. Stanarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2021
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.

Descriere
Decolonising Europe? offers a new paradigm to understand decolonisation in Europe, 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 political dynamics.
