Patricia M. E. Lorcin explores the distinction between imperial nostalgia, associated with the loss of power that results from the loss of empire, and colonial nostalgia, associated with loss of socio-cultural standing-in other words, loss of a certain way of life. This distinction helps to make women's discursive role an important factor in the creation of colonial nostalgia, due to their significant contribution to the establishment of a European colonial environment.AfricaHistorySocial historyAfrican literatureAfrican languagesEuropeHistoryHistory, ModernAfrican HistorySocial HistoryAfrican LiteratureAfrican LanguagesEuropean HistoryModern HistoryAfricaHistory.Social history.African literature.African languages.EuropeHistory.History, Modern.African History.Social History.African Literature.African Languages.European History.Modern History.809.89287096Lorcin Patricia M.
