Black Africa by D K Fieldhouse
In what ways did economic considerations affect the decision by Britain and France to make their black colonies independent? Why were early expectations that independence would lead to rapid and sustained economic development in Africa for the most part disappointed? In this book, Professor Fieldhouse tackles these two important and strongly debated contemporary issues.Following service as pilot in the Fleet Air Arm, a history degree at Oxford, and a period of school-teaching, D. K. Fieldhouse embarked on a distinguished academic career. He was Beit Lecturer in Commonwealth History and a Fellow of Jesus College and Nuffield College, Oxford, and Vere Harmsworth
Professor of Imperial and Naval History, Cambridge. He has been a visiting professor at Yale and Stanford and visiting fellow at the ANU, Canberra.
