Primary & Secondary resources for Teaching about Decolonization
The resources are divided by reigion and theme.
In Africa, for example, you'll find a speech by Kwame Nkrumah called “I Speak of Freedom” (1961), and Patrice Lumumba's “Speech at Accra” in 1958 to the Assembly of African Peoples. He wanted to throw off “the shackles of colonialism and all its consequences.”
In the section on Asia, you will find resources like Mohammed Ali Jinnah's “Presidential Address to the Muslim League” in 1940 and Mahatma Gandhi's address called "Hind Swaraj," or Indian Home Rule in 1909. Some call this adress one of the most famous sources from the decolinization period in India.
