This volume examines the ways that writers from the Caribbean,
Africa, and the U.S. theorize and employ postcolonial memory in
ways that expose or challenge colonial narratives of the past, and
shows how memory assumes particular forms and values in
post/colonial contexts in twenty and twenty-first-century works.
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.
