Lord Hailey, the Colonial Office and Politics of Race and Empire in the Second World War: The Loss of White Prestige

By Suke Wolton

Book Overview

The book studies the Anglo-American debate in which British officials led by Lord Hailey, countered American criticisms of imperial rule by emphasizing economic development and peace-keeping as new, non-racial justifications for western authority. These are themes that have retained a powerful resonance in the post-war world.
