DECOLONIZATION AS MOMENT AND PROCESS
11 DECOLONIZATION AS MOMENT AND PROCESS DECOLONIZATION is a technical and rather undramatic term for one of the most dramatic processes in modern history: the disappearance of empire as a political form, and the end of racial hierarchy as a widely accepted political ideology and structuring principle of world order. One can pin down this historical PROCESS by using a dual definition that, instead of keeping the PROCESS chronologically vague, anchors it unequiv-ocally in the history of the twentieth century. Accordingly, DECOLONIZATION is(1) the simultaneous dissolution of several intercontinental empires and the creation of nation- states throughout the global South within a short time span of roughly three postwar de-cades (1945 75), linked with(2) the historically unique and, in all likelihood, irrev
war of 1954–62, and the 1946–54 war in Indochina are among the most conspicuous instances of violence in the second half of the twentieth century. Between 1945 and 1949, a bloody chaos held sway on the islands of Indonesia. 5 In all these cases, it is practically impossible to give a precise count of the num-ber of victims.
