Rezensionen
"Decolonization and its Impact provides a well-written survey ofmid-twentieth century decolonization. Shipway's expertise in theFrench experience of this period is self-evident and, withMadagascar and Sudan, he has focused on case studies which areoften overlooked in works of this kind. The book is based on anextensive bibliography, and while not dramatically re-castingexisting historical explanations, it will make a welcome additionto undergraduate reading lists on decolonization." (SouthAfrican Historical Journal, July 2010)

"[The] book represents a notable accomplishment, a feat ofstylish synthesis and compression which will inject still greaterenergy into an already vigorous debate." (H-Soz-u-Kult, June2010)"This book offers both original insights and a meticulousengagement with the existing historiography on the subject."(TheAmerican Historical Review, February 2010)

"It provides a much needed comparative review of Europeandecolonization, grounded in a thorough survey of the most recentliterature on the subject ... .A rich, insightful and deeplyrewarding survey of decolonization." (The International HistoryReview, December 2009)

"The scope of the account is global ... with an admirablecombination of detail and attention to broad historic trends.Recommended." (CHOICE)"A master of concision, Shipway presents a complex story withclarity and verve. Wearing his scholarly erudition lightly, hecombines up-to-date historiography with engaging case studies andlucid prose."
--Jane Samson, University of Alberta
