from Part III - Anticolonialism in a Postcolonial Age
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 August 2023
Using long-form oral history, this chapter explores two decades in the career of an individual, the American transnational advocate Winifred Armstrong. Armstrong was an unofficial African affairs consultant for John F. Kennedy and political economist for the American Metal Climax mining company, who managed to operate inside organs of American empire as both an advocate for nationalist claimants and as a connector to spheres of US political and economic interests. By focusing on a single individual enmeshed in global networks of anticolonialism and resource extraction, this chapter deepens and complicates narratives of progressive national liberation, neo-imperialism, and the role of the corporation in decolonization.
