Professor Emerita Carol Polsgrove?s 2009 book, Ending British Rule in Africa: Writers in a Common Cause, has been published in paperback.The book looks at West Indian, African and American writers? campaign against British colonialism in Africa through publishing their works. Their efforts resulted in Britain?s banning their publications in its colonies, which underscored the point of their campaign.
American Historical Review said of the book, ?She demonstrates, as no one before her has done, the degree to which anticolonialism was a politics founded on the medium of the written word: the movement of cyclostyled sheets, on cheap paper, from dingy London workshops to distant, tropical locales offers a suitably subaltern rendering of empire, allowing us to focus on what generally remains unseen or overly abstract.?
Polsgrove, who retired from the School of Journalism in 2008, also is author of Divided Minds: Intellectuals and the Civil Rights Movement, It Wasn't Pretty, Folks, But Didn't We Have Fun? Esquire in the Sixties, and numerous articles in books and journals.
