Title:Alternatives to Independence: Explorations in Post-Colonial Relations by Helen M. Hintjens
Reviewer:Robin Cohen
Location:Vol.23 No.68 (June 1996), pp215-216
 For all those whose political consciousness was developed in the 1950s and 1960s, it seemed self-evident that the struggle for decolonisation was coincident with the struggle for independence. In his well-known quasi-biblical aphorism, Kwame Nkrumah proclaimed: 'Seek ye first the political kingdom and all else shall be added to it' . In her original and iconoclastic book, which deserves wide notice, Helen Hintjens argues that decolonisation is possible without formal statehood.
