Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information The legal system that a country has developed can provide fascinating insights into its social, cultural, and political history. This collection covers the period from January 1946 to December 1966. It provides the opportunity to explore the laws implemented by successive British governments throughout their African colonies. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the British government published gazettes on an annual basis. These outlined the colonial laws that were implemented in its African territories. This collection, drawn from the records of the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, brings together numerous gazettes. The volumes within this collection are divided by country. These include: Basutoland (Lesotho), Kenya, Lagos (Nigeria), Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), Nyasaland (Malawi), Sierra Leone, Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), The Gambia, Gold Coast (Ghana), Uganda, Zanzibar (Tanzania), and Tanganyika (Tanzania). Some documents address major historical events such as the rebuilding efforts that followed the Second World War, the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, and several countries gaining their independence. The gazettes also include key information such as shipping records, legislation, probate records, and land sales. The collection also sheds light upon government finances and trading: imports, exports, and colonial finances are detailed in some gazettes. Colonial Law in Africa, 1946–1966 is the third collection in British Online Archives’ three-part series Colonial Law in Africa. This collection provides an extensive survey of British rule throughout Africa. It is a rich resource for students and researchers interested in Africa and the themes of colonialism and race in modern history. |
