association of ‘the European order’ with stability and the absence of corruption (136). Nonetheless, this volume will be a valuable introduction to decolonisation for non-specialists, if slightly Western-centric in some of its discussion of political economy and academic debates. Individual chapters will be particularly helpful for teaching, and the references and Select Readings section will provide additional resources into the regions lesser studied and lesser taught in English. As Jansen and Osterhammel aptly point out, ‘the history of decolonisation cannot be a monolingual enterprise’ (x), and their work is a useful stepping stone towards multilingual scholarly debates in this field.
