Résumé

Through the perspective of activists from East and Central Africa, Milford presents a history of global decolonisation and anticolonialism in the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing on multi-archival research, she foregrounds the role of these activists in transnational networks and the limits of the solidarity projects in which they participated.
