This book explores national attitudes to remembering colonialism in
Britain and France. By comparing these two former colonial powers,
the author tells two distinct stories about coming to terms with
the legacies of colonialism, the role of silence and the breaking
thereof. Examining memory through the stories of people who incited
public conversation on colonialism: activists; politicians;
journalists; and professional historians, this book argues that
these actors mobilised the colonial past to make sense of national
identity, race and belonging in the present. In focusing on memory
as an ongoing, politicised public debate, the book examines the
afterlife of colonial history as an element of political and social
discourse that depends on actors' goals and priorities. A
thought-provoking and powerful read that explores the divisive
legacies of colonialism through oral history, this book will appeal
to those researching imperialism, collective memory and cultural
identity.
