Thiaroye, a Senegalese location of 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, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Collective Memory\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the dominance of collective memory, and calls attention to the African pasts, metaphors, and imaginaries that exist beyond it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259857031512,"sku":"9780367558758","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367558758.jpg?v=1769089542","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/beyond-collective-memory-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
