The problem of contested memory and colonial history continues to be an urgent and timely issue, as colonial history has served to crush, erase and manipulate collective and individual memories. Indeed, the most powerful mechanism of colonial discourse is that which alters and silences local histories and even individuals’ memories in service to colonial authority. Johnson and Brezault work to contextualize the politics of writing memory in the shadow of colonial history, creating a collection that pioneers a postcolonial turn in cultural memory studies suitable for scholars interested in cultural memory, postcolonial, Francophone and ethnic studies..Includes a foreword by Marianne Hirsch. . | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | memory; colonial; colonialism; postcolonial; history; collective memory; individual memory; Francophone; eth | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50577-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84433-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-50577-0Series ISSN 2634-6257 Series E-ISSN 2634-6265 | issn_series | 2634-6257 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
