ABSTRACT
Even before Sudan, Morocco, and Tunisia had become independent, significant advances in the same direction were being made by nationalists in the Gold Coast and Nigeria. Kenya was shaken by the rising of the ‘Land and Freedom’ armies. And the tide of popular pressure was gathering strength elsewhere: time and again, the British and the French were obliged to shorten the timetables with which they envisaged serious concessions to African demands. In this chapter we continue with the record of decolonisation in the French empire.
