{"product_id":"memory-and-the-postcolony-pnina-werbner-9781856495929","title":"Memory and the Postcolony","description":"The critique of power in contemporary Africa calls for a new approach to the making of political subjectivities. Through theoretically informed anthropology, this book meets the urgent need to rethink our understanding of the moral and political force of memory, its official and unofficial forms, its moves between the personal and the social in postcolonial transformations. Memory and the Postcolony brings these transformations into perspective. It is divided into three sections in which distinguished anthropologists explore death and subjectivity; the memory work of elections and public commissions; and fundamentalism and the future. Presenting a sustained comparative analysis of memory as a politicized reality, the book will be essential reading for all scholars of postcolonial societies, as well as all those with an interest in contemporary Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Werbner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1856495922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856495929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.28w x 0.84d","brand":"Richard Werbner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942673383679,"sku":"9781856495929","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_88cc7cd4-d643-4742-9715-cf61859242d5.jpg?v=1681493697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memory-and-the-postcolony-pnina-werbner-9781856495929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
