Media Reviews
A valuable contribution to the historical debate over twentieth-century colonialism, especially between wars. All of these essays raise important questions and indicate the rich potential of a subject like the interaction of imperialism and internationalism in the contemporary world. * Journal Of Colonialism and Colonial History *
This is an innovative and original collection of essays on a topic of considerable contemporary interest.... The scope of the collection ranges widely, to include India and Japan as well as the Middle Eastern and African mandates, and also includes contributions on the domestic repercussions of these 'international responsibilities', the reactions of the NAACP in the United States, and the Left in the United Kingdom. This is a most valuable contribution to the history of a very particular kind of 'late imperialism', or more properly, as the title indicates, of 'international oversight'. It is also timely in its treatment of issues which have not, as might have been anticipated, entirely disappeared from the international scene. -- Peter Sluglett, University of Utah
