Summary

"This book will interest students and specialists of (African) decolonisation and the global Cold War. It foregrounds the agency of East and Central African activists in transnational networks in which they have not previously featured, combining multi-archival global history approaches with microhistory methods to revise heroic narratives of anticolonial nationalism"--, Provided by publisher
