Abstract

Rosalind Coffey researches how the British press affected British perceptions of decolonisation in Africa during the ‘wind of change’ period. She writes that when the British media today provide critical information on colonial affairs, they battle an historical representational context in which self-affirming characteristics have tended to prevail.
