Descrição: While most readers of the anglophone literature of decolonization understandably approach it as a matter primarily between colonized and colonizer, or as a product of global capitalism, Kalliney reveals striking ways in which the Cold War shaped literature in former colonies after World War II. In later chapters Kalliney turns to more coercive measures employed by state powers, including surveillance, deportation, and imprisonment. Because she was politically active and the British government feared she would foment African resistance, they tracked her from the 1940s to the early 1960s. Kalliney turns to PEN and other non-governmental organizations to remind us that decolonization, the Cold War, and the era of human rights all happened at about the same time.
