Beyond Collective Memory (Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature)

4.9/5 (20394 ratings)

Description:Beyond Collective Memory analyzes how two African places became icons of memory for certain publics, yet remain marginal to discourses of national and continental memory. Thiaroye, a Senegalese location of a colonial-era massacre, and District Six, a South African neighborhood destroyed under apartheid, have epitomized a shared memory of racist violence and resistant community. Analyzing diverse cultural texts surrounding both places, this book argues that the metaphor of collective memory has obscured the structural character of colonial and apartheid violence, and made it difficult to explore the complicit positions that structures of violence produce. In investigating the elisions of memory discourses, Beyond Collective Memory challenges the dominance of memory, and calls attention to the African pasts, metaphors, and imaginaries that exist beyond memory.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
