Beschreibung
This scholarly study illuminates the diplomatic background to European imperialism in Africa between 1914 and 1919. Adopting a comparative approach, it establishes the motives behind British, French, and Belgian wartime designs on Germany's tropical African colonies. The work's fresh perspective results from its international character and its thorough treatment of the role African interests played in the peace settlement.

Stimmen zu »Imperialism's New Clothes«
«'Imperialism's New Clothes' is the first book to systematically examine the French, British and Belgian partition of Imperial Germany's colonies in tropical Africa during and immediately following the first World War. Professor Digre has exploited colonial and diplomatic archives in Paris, London, and Brussels to present a broadly comparative analysis of the expansionist colonial war aims of the three western powers.» (William I. Shorrock, Professor of History, Cleveland State University)
«Digre highlights certain nuances of the several victors' colonial ambitions not discussed elsewhere. ... The book is succinctly written and its thesis is persuasively argued. It will be a worthy addition to collections of modern European and African history.» (L.E. Meyer, Moorhead State University, Choice)
«Digre nous livre le détail des négociations qui ont abouti aux situations que nous connaissons. ... Cet ouvrage se présente donc comme une bonne synthèse de faits disséminés à travers plusieurs livres, mais aussi comme une mine de renseignements sur les négociations diplomatiques dont l'Afrique était le centre.» (Brice Boussari, Revue française d'histoire d'outre-mer)
