Abstract: "Decolonization changed the spatial order of the globe, the imagination of men and women around the world and established images of the globe. Both individuals and social groups shaped decolonization itself; this volume puts agency squarely at the center of debate by looking at elites and leaders who changed the course of history across the world."--
