Resumo(s)
This chapter considers the construction of the notion of decolonization
in the context of national political cultures. It seeks to explore the question:
What was the role of cultural prejudices and preferences in the
end of the three biggest European colonial empires in Africa? Answers
will be provided by tracing the impact of some explicit and recurrent
cultural prejudices at the level of senior decision makers and officials in
comparing British, French, and Portuguese decolonization.
It is not possible to show unequivocally here the decisive role of
political culture in decolonization. My aim is simply to present arguments
and evidence from some relevant sources that it did play an
important role in both setting the pace and helping define the shape of
decolonization.
