Abstract:This article examines how the decolonization movement originated as a movement for colonial reform in British Africa; what the theoretical assumptions behind this movement were; and how the British proposed, from London, to plan African evolution to self government. The sources are, almost entirely, the Colonial Office files for the period after 1938. First, the author pays attention to two broad interpretations of the movement for decolonization, the 'liberal-nationalist' (or 'bourgeois') and the 'dependista' or 'neo-colonialist' (or 'vulgar Marxist'). Notes.
