This book explores how popular cultural artifacts, literary texts,
commemorative practices and other forms of remembrances are used to
convey, transmit and contest memories of mass atrocities in the
Global South. Some of these historical atrocities took place during
the Cold war. As such, this book unpacks the influence or role of
the global powers in conflict in the Global South. Contributors are
grappling with a number of issues such as the politics of
memorialization, memory conflicts, exhumations, reburials,
historical dialogue, peacebuilding and social healing, memory
activism, visual representation, transgenerational transmission of
memories, and identity politics.
The Idea of Matabeleland in Digital Spaces: Genealogies,
Discourses, and Epistemic Struggles establishes a debate and
dialogue between critical and post-/de-colonial approaches in the
study of subalternity in online media representations. Editors
Khanyile Mlotshwa and Mphathisi Ndlovu curate chapters that deal
specifically with the intersectional subalternity of Matabeleland,
a political and geographical region in the Southwest part of
Zimbabwe comprising of three provinces: Matabeleland South,
Matabeleland North, and Bulawayo metropolitan province. The
subalternity of this region emerges in politics and popular
culture, including media, as intersectional in terms of ethnicity,
region, gender, class, and beyond. This book argues that in online
spaces the liberatory politics of Matabeleland emerges as trapped
in coloniality.
