French Empire Between the Wars - Imperialism, Politics and Society

Informationen zum Autor Martin Thomas is lecturer in European History at the University of Exeter. Klappentext By considering the distinctiveness of the inter-war years as a discrete period of colonial change, this book addresses several larger issues, such as tracing the origins of decolonization in the rise of colonial nationalism, and a re-assessment of the impact of inter-war colonial rebellions in Africa, Syria and Indochina. The book also connects French theories of colonial governance to the lived experience of colonial rule in a period scarred by war and economic dislocation.
