This groundbreaking study investigates defining themes in the field
of social memory studies as they bear on the politics of
post-Cold-War, post-apartheid Southern Africa. Alice Dinerman
offers a detailed chronicle of the Mozambican government's attempts
to revise the country's troubled postcolonial past with a view to
negotiating the political challenges posed by the present. In doing
so, she lays bare the path-dependence of memory practices, while
tracing their divergent trajectories, shifting meanings and varied
combinations within ruling discourse and performance. Central
themes include: the interplay between past and present the
dialectic between remembering and forgetting the dynamics between
popular and official memory discourses the politics of
acknowledgement. Dinerman's original analysis is essential reading
for students of modern Africa, the sociology of memory, Third World
politics and post-conflict societies.
