Global Memories of German Colonialism

160 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Over a century after the end of formal German rule in its colonial empire, the international debate on its aftermath is arguably more vibrant than ever. The edited volume ‘Global Memories of German Colonialism’ aims to decenter the metropole, while at the same time offering points of comparison and interconnection by including contributions from scholars and artists from Cameroon, Namibia, Tanzania and also Germany. The volume thus provides a variety of perspectives on the field of global memories of Germany’s (post-)colonial entanglements and its role in European expansion – from memorials, memory cultures and oral history to contemporary artistic approaches to dealing with the colonial past.
