When they became independent, South Asian and African states were - for all their diversity - thrust into a common position in the international system, and embarked on a common history as 'emergent', 'non-aligned', 'developing nations'. This is the first book to offer a single-volume comparative history of postcolonial South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa in the first generation since independence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSouth Asia and Africa After Independence\u003c\/em\u003e draws together the political and economic history of these two regions, assessing the colonial impact, establishing breaks and continuities, and highlighting their diversity and interplay. Waites sets out a framework for analysing the first generation of post-colonial history, offering an interpretation of 'post-colonialism' as a historical phenomenon, and provocatively challenging us to re-think this term in relation to South Asian and African history. This book is an important reference for the study of global, world, African and South Asian history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086439604375,"sku":"9780230239845","price":3022.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780230239845.webp?v=1767639130","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/south-asia-and-africa-after-independence-post-colonialism-in-historical-perspective-9780230239845","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
