Book Description
After the Second World War, national self-determination became a recognized inteational norm, yet it only extended to former colonies. Groups within postcolonial states that made alteative sovereign claims were disregarded or actively suppressed. Showcasing their contested histories, Lydia Walker offers a powerful countearrative of global decolonization, highlighting little-known regions, marginalized individuals, and their hidden (or lost) archives. She depicts the personal connections that linked disparate nationalist struggles across the globe through advocacy networks, demonstrating that these advocates had their own agendas and allegiances, which, she argues, could undermine the autonomy of the claimants they supported. By foregrounding particular nationalist movements in South Asia and Southe Africa and their transnational advocacy networks, States-in-Waiting illuminates the un-endings of decolonization―the unfinished and improvised ways that the state-centric inteational system replaced empire, which left certain claims of sovereignty perpetually awaiting recognition. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
