Carol Polsgrove’s new book,
Ending British Rule in Africa, is just out from Manchester University Press. It looks at West Indian, African and American writers’ campaign against British colonialism in Africa through publishing their works. Their efforts resulted in Britain’s banning their publications in its colonies, which underscored the point of their campaign.
Polsgrove, who retired from the School of Journalism in 2008, also is author of
Divided Minds: Intellectuals and the Civil Rights Movement,
It Wasn't Pretty, Folks, But Didn't We Have Fun? Esquire in the Sixties, and numerous articles in books and journals.
Read the publisher’s catalogue description of her new book at the
Manchester University Press Web site.
