This book tackles the historical relationship between colonial
violence and monuments in Africa, Europe, the Indian subcontinent,
North America, and Australia. In this volume, the authors ask
similar questions about monuments in each location and answer them
following a parallel structure that encourages comparison,
highlighting common themes. The chapters track the contested
histories of monuments, scrutinizing their narrative power and
examining the violent events behind them. It is both about the
history of monuments and the histories the monuments are meant to
commemorate. It is interested in this nuanced relationship between
violence, monuments, memory, and colonial legacies; the ways
different facets of colonial violence—conquest, resistance,
massacres, genocides, internments, and injustices—have been
commemorated (or haven’t been), how they live in the present, and
how pertinent they are in the present to different peoples.
Legacies of colonial violence, and continued reinterpretations of
the past and its meanings remain very much ongoing. They are still
very much unsettled questions in large parts of the world. Colonial
Violence and Monuments in Global History will be essential reading
for students, scholars, and researchers of political science,
history, sociology and colonial studies. The book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Genocide Research.
