Imperialism, Race and Resistance : Africa and Britain, 1919-1945

Focusing on Britain and West and South Africa, this text discusses: the growth of anti-colonial resistance and early opposition to racism; the complex nature of imperial power; and the impact of imperialism on the lives and struggles of black men and women in Africa.

Bush argues that tensions between white dreams of power, and black dreams of freedom were seminal in transforming Britain's relationship with Africa in an era bounded by global war and shaped by ideological conflict.
