Reviews
Reviews'Written by recognized experts across a rich inter-disciplinary field, this is a hugely impressive survey of the problematic of postcolonial memory in both mainland France and les Outre-mer.'
Alec G Hargreaves, Florida State University
'This is an important and informative volume which will be a very useful addition to Francophone postcolonial studies.'
Bill Marshall, University of Stirling
'An elegant yet accessible work, Postcolonial Realms of Memory not only exposes the colonial blind spot that left Pierre Nora's Lieux de memoire incomplete, but begins the long task of remedying it. This is a crucial intervention that the field has required for some time.'
Gemma King, Contemporary French Civilization
'Postcolonial Realms of Memory is a rich, most welcome contribution to the debate. Three dozen short articles, preceded by a thoughtful introduction, present a series of fascinating reflections and additions to Pierra Nora's [lieux-de-memoire] project. [...] The editors have done a good job of selecting an intriguing set of lieux de memoire and inviting imaginative authors to write about them.'Gert Oostindie, BRILL
