| Description: |
This study of colonial memory asks the question, how do once-colonized people remember the colonial period? Drawing on an ethnography of the social practices of remembering and forgetting in one community in Madagascar, the book develops a practice-based approach to social memory. |
| Synopsis: |
While doing fieldwork in a village in east Madagascar that had suffered both heavy settler colonialism and a bloody anticolonial rebellion, Jennifer Cole found herself confronted by a puzzle. People in the area had lived through almost a century of intrusive French colonial rule, but they appeared to have forgotten the colonial period in their daily lives. Then, during democratic elections in 1992-93, the terrifying memories came flooding back. Cole asks, how do once-colonized peoples remember the colonial period? Drawing on a fine-grained ethnography of the social practices of remembering and forgetting in one community, she develops a practice-based approach to social memory. |
