Beschreibung

In the 1930s and 1940s, Caribbean and West African newspapers nurtured anticolonial movements through experimental reporting. But as press professionalism became a proxy for a colony's capacity to self-govern in the 1950s, papers standardized and intellectual debates about racism and colonialism disappeared from their pages.
