‘White Man in a Wood Pile’
On 21 January 1960, Harold Macmillan stepped off his plane at Lusaka Airport to begin a four-day tour of Northern Rhodesia. It was part of the first ever visit by a serving British prime minister to the empire in Africa.

He never did quite escape…

The metropolitan anti-imperialists’ prime asset in influencing colonial policy had been their set of connections with nati…
Resistance to ‘Winds of Change’
Southern Rhodesia's unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) in November 1965 is rightly seen as one of the quintessential manifestations of resistance to Macmillan's 'wind of change'.2 The defiance of the Rhodesian Front, led by Ian Douglas Smith, to the British Government's wish to see an acceleration of black political and economic rights in Southern Rhodesia following the break-up of the Central African Federation in 1963, was supported i…
