Through the perspective of activists from East and Central Africa, Milford presents a history of global decolonisation and anticolonialism in the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing on multi-archival research, she foregrounds the role of these activists in transnational networks and the limits of the solidarity projects in which they participated.

Praise for this book

'[An] ambitious book, courageous and persuasive in advancing an argument derived from the very limitations encountered by its main protagonists. Far from crafting an alternative, transnational heroic narrative by lionizing these 'secondary' actors, often sidelined in nationalist histories, Milford uses their experiences and failures to offer us a better understanding of agency and thought in the shifting sands of imperial endgames. The book thus challenges us to grapple with the history of decolonization in microspatial ways and acknowledge the changing forms, frequent failures, and fractured globality of anticolonialism.' Eric Burton, H-Soz-Kult
