Lord Hailey, the Colonial Office and the Politics of Race and Empire in the Seco : The Loss of White Prestige, Hardback Book

Lord Hailey, the Colonial Office and the Politics of Race and Empire in the Seco : The Loss of White Prestige Hardback

Part of the St Antony's Series series

Hardback

Out of stock

Description

This book examines the response of British policy-makers to the collapse of belief in racial superiority, and with it the ideological basis of empire, following the fall of Singapore in 1942.

The book studies the Anglo-American debate in which British officials, led by Lord Hailey, countered American criticisms of imperial rule by emphasizing economic development and peace-keeping as new, non-racial justifications for western authority.

These are themes that have retained a powerful resonance on the post-war world.
