Living the End of Empire: Politics and Society in Late Colonial ZambiaJan-Bart Gewald, Marja Hinfelaar, Giacomo Macola Building on the foundational work of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute, the essays contained in "Living the End of Empire" offer a nuanced and complex picture of the late-colonial period in Zambia. The present volume, based on untapped archival material and sources that have emerged in recent years, throws new light on some of the historical trajectories that the teleological gaze of nationalist scholars tended to ignore or belittle. By bringing to view the deep-rooted tensions underlying the Zambian nationalist movement, the painful dilemmas faced by chiefly and religious institutions, and the contradictory experiences of European and Asian minorities, "Living the End of Empire" draws inspiration from and contributes to a growing literature that is concerned with the study of social, political and cultural forces that did not readily fit into the then dominant narratives of united anti-colonial struggles. |
