The 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century, however, has seen the unexpected emergence of certain European states apologising to their former colonies. \u003cp\u003eAnalysing apologies from Germany, Belgium, Britain and Italy, this book explores the shifting ways in which these countries represent their colonial pasts and investigates what this reveals about contemporary international politics, particularly relations between (former) coloniser and colonised. It is argued that, far from renouncing colonialism in its entirety, the apologies are replete with discourses that are reminiscent of the core legitimising tenets of empire. Specifically, the book traces how the apologies both illuminate and recycle many of the inequalities, mind-sets and ambivalences that circulated at the height of empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of key interest to scholars and students of peace and post-confli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 2 On apology 3 Collective memory, postcolonialism and the (in)glorious past 4 The German apology for the Herero genocide 5 The Belgian apology for involvement in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba 6 The British apology for the Bloody Sunday 7 The Italian apology for colonialism in Libya 8 Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019528700247,"sku":"9781138815384","price":137.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138815384.jpg?v=1750780536","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/empires-of-remorse-9781138815384","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
