Book excerpt: A collection of essays examining the various ways in which 19th and 20th century European rule has affected the economic, social and political geography of post-colonial countries.

Although each chapter stands alone as an independent statement with its own focus and conclusions, they all address the central theme and provide a comparative analysis of similar processes.
