Beyond Empire looks at three decades of British colonial administration to assess the capacity of the independent governments of Africa to achieve independence. A wealth of archival material and a unique review of British press over those decades brings to life the dynamic and the tension of the process of decolonisation. Addressing a wide range of issues, from education, constitutional change and economic relations, Beyond Empire sheds new light on aspects of colonial history at the country level, with the focus on the African administrations themselves as agents in the decolonisation process.
John Ducker spent seven years as a member of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service, the successor to the Colonial Service, from 1960 to 1967, followed by twenty-three years on the staff of the World Bank, for all but seven of those years involved directly or indirectly with Africa.
