Long repressed following the collapse of empire, memories of the
French colonial experience have recently gained unprecedented
visibility. In popular culture, scholarly research, personal
memoirs, public commemorations, and new ethnicities associated with
the settlement of postcolonial immigrant minorities, the legacy of
colonialism is now more apparent in France than at any time in the
past. How is this upsurge of interest in the colonial past to be
explained? Does the commemoration of empire necessarily imply
glorification or condemnation? To what extent have previously
marginalized voices succeeded in making themselves heard in new
narratives of empire? While veils of secrecy have been lifted, what
taboos still remain and why? These are among the questions
addressed by an international team of leading researchers in this
interdisciplinary volume, which will interest scholars in a wide
range of disciplines including French studies, history, literature,
cultural studies, and anthropology.
