Whirlwind, Hurricane, Howling Tempest: the Wind of Change and the British World; Stuart Ward -- 3. 'White Man in a Wood Pile': Race and the limits of Macmillan's great 'Wind of Change' in Africa; J.E. Lewis -- 4. The Wind of Change as Generational Drama; Simon Ball -- 5.

British perspectives on French colonial violence after 1945; Martin Thomas -- 8. The Winds of Change and the Tides of History: de Gaulle, Macmillan and the Beginnings of the French decolonising Endgame; Martin Shipway -- 9. The US and Decolonisation in Central Africa: 1957-1964; John Kent -- 10. Resistance to 'Winds of Change': The emergence of the 'unholy alliance' between Southern Rhodesia, Portugal and South Africa 1964-1965; Sue Onslow -- 11.

"Harold Macmillan's 'Wind of Change' speech, delivered to the South African parliament in Cape Town at the end of a landmark six-week African tour, presaged the end of the British Empire in Africa. This book, the first to focus on Macmillan's 'Wind of Change', comprises a series of essays by leading historians in the field. Contributors reconsider the significance of the speech within the politics of different overseas and British constituencies, including in the wider British World. Some contributors engage directly with the speech itself - its metropolitan political context, production, delivery and reception. Others consider related themes in the historiography of the end of empire. Together they challenge established orthodoxies and offer fresh perspectives that require us to revisit our understanding of the place of the speech, and the policies to which it referred, in the wider history of British decolonization"--
