John Hargreaves examines how the British, French, Belgian, Spanish and Portuguese colonies in tropical Africa became independent in the postwar years, and in doing so transformed the international landscape. African demands for independence and colonial plans for reform - central to the story - are seen here in the wider context of changing international relationships.

The five major studies in "Imperialism, Decolonization and Africa" honor John Hargreaves and develop aspects of the historical fields in which he has been so distinguished. There is a new look at the Asante in relation to the British in the nineteenth century, and a review of the alliance of the Krio of Sierra Leone with the British in the same time period. Roy Bridges looks afresh at the prelude to the partition of East Africa, while others look at 20th-century problems of decolonization and international relations. A note on the career of John Hargreaves, a bibliography of his publications and a foreword by C.D. Rice complete the volume.
