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. 606 $aAfrica?History 606 $aSocial history 606 $aAfrican literature 606 $aAfrican languages 606 $aEurope?History 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aAfrican History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aAfrican Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/829000 606 $aAfrican Languages$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N11000 606 $aEuropean History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717000 606 $aModern History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000 615 0$aAfrica?History. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aAfrican literature. 615 0$aAfrican languages. 615 0$aEurope?History. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aAfrican History. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aAfrican Literature. 615 24$aAfrican Languages. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a809.93358 676 $a896.09 700 $aLorcin$b P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01696218 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821727203321 996 $aHistoricizing Colonial Nostalgia$94076019 997 $aUNINA
