New Perspectives on Decolonisation, the Cold War, and Asian-African Connections.
Note from the editor
This publication is intended to highlight new and ongoing research on the history of decolonisation and transnational connections across Asia and Africa, as well as Latin America and the Middle East. We welcome submissions from those writing and thinking about these issues as well as the practice of doing global history as scholars of Asia, Africa, and the post-colonial world. We also welcome stories, memories, and photographs from mid-twentieth century Asia and Africa. We recommend posts to be written for a broad audience around 800–1200 words, and ask that all authors reference their works appropriately through hyperlinks or footnotes. This publication stems from a collaborative research project on interactions between Asia and Africa in the 1950s and 1960s through networks of artists, intellectuals, technical experts, and activists.
