George Padmore and Decolonization from Below: Pan-Africanism, the Cold War, and the End of Empire

by Leslie James

This book argues that the rising tide of anti-colonialism after the 1930s should be considered a turning point not just in harnessing a new mood or feeling of unity, but primarily as one that viewed empire, racism, and economic degradation as part of a system that fundamentally required the application of strategy to their destruction.
