Past & Present was pleased to learn that Dr. Lydia Walker (Dartmouth College, NH/Institute of Historical Research, London) had a feature article in The Washington Post that drew upon some of the research that she published first in Past & Present.
The Washington Post article is entitled “Why have we forgotten one of WWII’s most important battles?” and explores the legacy (and relative lack of public awareness regarding) of one of the major battles of the Second World War in South Asia. Her Past & Present article is called “Decolonisation in the 1960s: On Legitimate and Illegitimate Nationalist” Claims-Making” and appeared in Past & Present #242 (February 2019).
In conjunction with The Washington Post article our publisher Oxford University Press have agreed to make “Decolonisation in the 1960s: On Legitimate and Illegitimate Nationalist” Claims-Making” free to read and download for a limited time period (until the end of June 2019).
Dr. Walker is a Past & Present Society sponsored Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, London during 2019-21.
