Alice Dinerman offers a detailed chronicle of the Mozambican government's attempts to revise the country's troubled postcolonial past with a view to negotiating the political challenges posed by the present. In doing so, she lays bare the path-dependence of memory practices, while tracing their divergent trajectories, shifting meanings and varied combinations within ruling discourse and performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentral themes include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe interplay between past and present\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe dialectic between remembering and forgetting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe dynamics between popular and official memory discourses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe politics of acknowledgement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDinerman's original analysis is essential reading for students of modern Africa, the sociology of memory, Third World politics and post-conflict societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Dinerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415770173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415770170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.36w x 1.09d","brand":"Alice Dinerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064955515135,"sku":"9780415770170","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd443cc1-2b1e-49f8-8020-b7309cbe3821.jpg?v=1768672163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revolution-counter-revolution-and-revisionism-in-alice-dinerman-9780415770170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
