ANNOUNCING H-DECOL
Member of: H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences Online
ABOUT H-DECOL
H-DECOL is dedicated to the study of the history and
processes of decolonization, broadly defined. The network provides a forum in
which the end of European, American and Asian empires and the rise of
independent nation-states, principally, but not exclusively, in the long
twentieth century, can be understood holistically, across the boundaries drawn
by particular bilateral metropole-colony relations. H-Decol explores the nexus
of power, strategy and identity that carved overseas empires into the nation-states
that make up the modern atlas. Above all, H-Decol seeks to encourage scholarly
discussion and debate across academic disciplines on the course of imperial
retrenchment, and the broader cultural, economic, political and ideological
imprint left by decolonization on both the ‘colonizer’ and the ‘colonized’.
Like all H-Net lists, H-DECOL is moderated to edit out

technical matters (such as subscription management requests), is inflammatory,
or violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette. H-Net's
procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is Article II,
