Description

Menschenrechte im Schatten kolonialer Gewalt: Die Dekolonisierungskriege in Kenia und Algerien 1945–1962 Fabian Klose, R. Oldenbourg Verlag, 2009. x 346 pages. (forthcoming in English translation from University of Pennsylvania Press)Decolonization and the Evolution of International Human Rights Roland Burke, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2010. 264 pages.In the global history of human rights in the twentieth century, decolonization is one of the most interesting fields to study. The independence of practically all of Africa’s and Asia’s nations, gained in the almost miraculously short span of the two decades after the Second World War, was one of the most dramatic processes of political emancipation in world history. The events and the consequences of decolonization were to profoundly shape international politics until at least the end of the century. Viewed from the angle of human rights history, the setting for the struggle against colonial domination after World War II greatly differed from what it had been before.
