<br/><br/> "The Afterlife of Empire investigates how decolonization transformed the British society in the 1950s and 1960s. Although usually charted through diplomatic details, the empire's collapse was also a personal process that altered everyday life, restructuring routines and social interactions. Using a vast array of recently declassified sources, Jordanna Bailkin recasts the genealogy and geography of welfare by charting its unseen dependence on the end of empire, and illuminates the relationship between the postwar and the postimperial."-- Publisher's description.
