Description

This Routledge examination of Black Africa's post-independence era explores the economic foundations of decolonisation between 1945 and 1980. Originally published in 1986, the book addresses two critical historical questions: how economic factors shaped Britain and France's decisions to grant independence to their Black African colonies, and why the anticipated rapid economic development following independence largely failed to materialise. By synthesising material across most of sub-Saharan Africa, the work provides a comprehensive perspective on the relationship between colonial economics and post-colonial development trajectories. The study offers scholars, students and policy analysts a systematic exploration of how economic structures inherited from colonial rule influenced Africa's developmental pathways during this pivotal period.

Key Features

Originally published in 1986, this Routledge Library Editions title examines the economic dimensions of Black African decolonisation from 1945 to 1980.

Addresses why early expectations of rapid post-independence economic development in Black Africa south of the Sahara were largely disappointed.

Analyses the economic considerations that influenced Britain and France's decisions to grant independence to their African colonies.

Provides broad geographic coverage spanning most of Black Africa, allowing readers to understand decolonisation as a region-wide phenomenon.

Combines historical analysis with economic theory to explore the relationship between colonial economic structures and post-colonial developmental outcomes.
