This volume explores the inner dynamics of memory in all its variations, from its most destructive and divisive impact to its remarkable potential to heal and reconcile. It addresses issues on both the conceptual and the pragmatic level and its theoretical observations and reflections are informed by first-hand experiences and comparative reflections from a German, Indian, and Korean perspective. A new insight is the importance of the future dimension of memory and hence the need to develop the ability to ‘remember with the future in mind’. Historical memory in an African context provides a rich kaleidoscope of the diverse experiences and perspectives—and yet there are recurring themes and similar conclusions, connecting it to a global dialogue to which it has much to contribute, but from which it also has much to receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMamadou Diawara\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBernard Lategan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eJörn Rüsen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eFrom an African Perspective\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Social Theory and Making Sense of Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eElisio Macamo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e History by Word of Mouth: Linking Past and Present through Oral Memory\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAnnekie Joubert\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Historical Memory and Representation of New Nations in Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBogumil Jewsiewicki\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Memory, History and Historiography of Congo-Zaïre\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJustin Bisanswa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remembering the Past, Reaching for the Future Aspects of African Historical Memory in an International Context\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMamadou Diawara \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remembering Conflict: The Centenary Commemoration of the South African War of 1899-1902 as a Case Study\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAlbert Grundlingh \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e From Public History to Private Enterprise: The Politics of Memory in the New South Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePatrick Harries\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remembering with the Future in Mind\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBernard Lategan\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eFrom an Intercultural Perspective\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Holocaust Experience and Historical Sense Generation – a German Perspective\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJörn Rüsen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ayodya, Memory, Myth: Futurising the Past – an Indian perspective\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRanjan Gosh \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/strong\u003e Human Suffering and Forgiveness: A dialogue with Kim Dae Jung – an East-Asian perspective\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eHan Sing-Jin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eTexts from the Praxis of Memory, Trauma, Forgiveness and Healing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remorse, Forgiveness and Rehumanization: Stories from South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePumla Gobodo-Madikizela \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 14.\u003c\/strong\u003e Healing from Auschwitz and Mengele's Experiments\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eEva Mozes Kor \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNotes on Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042210775383,"sku":"9781782380832","price":26.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781782380832.jpg?v=1750953459","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/historical-memory-in-africa-dealing-with-the-past-reaching-for-the-future-in-an-intercultural-context-9781782380832","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
