The Portuguese Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles:
Memory, Politics and Uses of the Past presents a critical and
comparative analysis on the memory of the colonial and liberation
wars that led to a regime change in Portugal and to the
independence of five new African countries: Angola, Mozambique,
Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and São Tomé and PrÃncipe. Covering
more than six decades and based on original archival research,
critical analysis of sources and interviews, the book offers a
plural account of the public memorialization of this contested past
in Portugal and in former colonized territories in Africa, focusing
on diachronic and synchronic processes of mnemonic production. This
innovative exercise highlights the changing and crossed nature of
political memories and social representations through time,
emphasizing three modes of mnemonic intersections: the intersection
of distinct historical times; the intersection between multiple
products and practices of memory; and the intersection connecting
the different countries and national histories. The Portuguese
Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles: Memory, Politics
and Uses of the Past is the major and final output of the research
developed by CROME – Crossed Memories, Politics of Silence, a
project funded by a Starting Grant (715593) from the European
Research Council (ERC). The book advances current knowledge on
Portugal and Africa and deepens ongoing conceptual and
epistemological discussions regarding the relationship between
social and individual memories, the dialectics between memory,
power and silence, and the uses and representations of the past in
postcolonial states and societies.
