A lecture by dr. Ned Bertz, Associate Professor of History at the University of Hawai'i
This paper previews one section of a book project in preparation that explores the following question: how did the processes of decolonization – ranging from those surrounding and following the Partition of India in 1947 through independence and into the early postcolonial era in East Africa in the 1960-‘70s – restructure people’s lives in the western Indian Ocean region?
