From Cape Town to Charlottesville, many societies are grappling with historical consciousness and the production of public memory. In particular, how and why societies remember and forget, what should serve as symbols of collective memory, and whether there exists space for multiple memory cultures are questions being vigorously debated once again. These discussions present particular challenges not only to official memory bound to ideological constructions of nationhood but also to the teaching of history and its links to social justice movements. The volume re-centres Africa and African history in memory studies, with each chapter drawing parallels to comparable cases in Africa and the world. An underlying assumption is that what can be learned from the politics of historical memory in Africa will have relevance for contemporary politics globally and for understanding how memories can be mobilised for political ends. 606 $aElectronic books 606 $aMemory$xPolitical aspects$zAfrica 606 $aMemory$xSocial aspects$zAfrica 606 $aHISTORY / Modern / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAfrica. 610 $acollective memory. 610 $ahistorical remembrance. 610 $amemory politics. 615 0$aElectronic books. 615 0$aMemory$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMemory$xSocial aspects 615 7$aHISTORY / Modern / General. 676 $a960 702 $aAndersen$b Casper, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCharumbira$b Ruramisai, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFilippi$b Natacha, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGoodman$b Edward, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHaji Ingiriis$b Mohamed, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKunstmann$b Rouven, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMark-Thiesen$b Cassandra, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMark-Thiesen$b Cassandra, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMihatsch$b Moritz A., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMihatsch$b Moritz, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSikes$b Michelle M., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSikes$b Michelle, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStuder$b Nina S., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 712 02$aSchweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996453544703316 996 $aThe Politics of Historical Memory and Commemoration in Africa$92838291 997 $aUNISA
