Book excerpt: Eleven confidential reports by Hailey regarding "native administration" and political developments, outlining a blueprint for self-rule to nine African colonies: The Gold Coast (Ghana), Kenya, Nigeria, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), Nyasaland (Malawi), Sierra Leone, Tanganyika (mainland Tanzania), and Uganda. Based on interviews with British colonial civil servants and African stakeholders, it argues that indirect rule is going nowhere, that nationalism is less advanced than he expected but would come, and that Africans should be appointed to every level of bureaucracy. It outlines major factors necessary for the development of the proposed native-led regimes, including: forces in Africa of which policy must take into account; the development of African racial consciousness; the present attitude of Africans to British rule; growth of the middle class; the utilization of traditional native authorities; urban and industrialized areas; native authorities as part of the general machinery of government; planning of future political developments; and the relative importance of political advance and economic and social development. There is polity-specific advice given in each report. With occasional contemporary manuscript corrections and amendments.
