Until deep into the 20th century, empire remained a source of pride
for European states and their politicians. The 21st century,
however, has seen the unexpected emergence of certain European
states apologising to their former colonies. Analysing apologies
from Germany, Belgium, Britain and Italy, this book explores the
shifting ways in which these countries represent their colonial
pasts and investigates what this reveals about contemporary
international politics, particularly relations between (former)
coloniser and colonised. It is argued that, far from renouncing
colonialism in its entirety, the apologies are replete with
discourses that are reminiscent of the core legitimising tenets of
empire. Specifically, the book traces how the apologies both
illuminate and recycle many of the inequalities, mind-sets and
ambivalences that circulated at the height of empire. This book
will be of key interest to scholars and students of peace and
post-conflict resolution studies, memory studies, colonial studies
and postcolonial theory. More broadly, it will be of interest to
those studying political science, International Relations,
sociology and development.
