After the Second World War, national self-determination became a recognized international norm, yet it only extended to former colonies. Groups within postcolonial states that made alternative sovereign claims were disregarded or actively suppressed. Showcasing their contested histories, Lydia Walker offers a powerful counternarrative of global decolonization, highlighting little-known regions, marginalized individuals, and their hidden (or lost) archives. She depicts the personal connections that linked disparate nationalist struggles across the globe through advocacy networks, demonstrating that these advocates had their own agendas and allegiances, which, she argues, could undermine the autonomy of the claimants they supported. By foregrounding particular nationalist movements in South Asia and Southern Africa and their transnational advocacy networks, States-in-Waiting illuminates the un-endings of decolonization-the unfinished and improvised ways that the state-centric international system replaced empire, which left certain claims of sovereignty perpetually awaiting recognition. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

A memoir about my life as the wife of Richard Kelly, trying to make sense of the trials we endured, and about survival after it all fell apart. Those who knew Richard Kelly will have unanswered questions about his downfall, which became a personal tragedy and an American tragedy. Nothing in his life would have forecasted the outcome. He spent most of his remaining years searching for as many details of the organized plot to destroy him as he could, looking for justice and struggling to live with the aftermath of the bomb that went off in the middle of his life. Kelly was conducting his own investigation after he realized he was surrounded by shady characters who were exposed as convicted felons hired by the FBI. The FBI was duty bound to protect him as a member of Congress. What led the FBI to focus on Kelly? The better question would be, who led the FBI to focus on Kelly? Trials will come. Life is tough, but God is good. Trials are not an opposition to our happiness but an opportunity for holiness and maturity, which can lead to true joy.
