This term refers to conflicts in contemporary society about how the colonial past should be remembered. The question is often: who has the right or ability to tell their stories and who do not? In other words: who has a voice, and who is silenced? As such, these conflicts represent a wider tendency in cultural theory and activism to use voice as a metaphor for empowerment and silence as voice’s negative counterpart, signifying powerlessness. And yet, there are voices that do not liberate us from, but rather subject us to power. Meanwhile, silence can be powerful: it can protect, disrupt and reconfigure. Throughout this book, it will become clear how voice and silence function not as each other’s opposites, but as each other’s continuation, and that postcolonial memory is articulated through the interplay of meaningful voices and meaningful silences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of contents \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003ePostcolonial memory in the Netherlands: Meaningful voices; meaningful silences \u003cbr\u003eChapter one \u003cbr\u003eTwo cases of Moluccan identity articulation: Deceptive voices and empowering silences in individual and collective self-representation \u003cbr\u003eChapter two \u003cbr\u003eThe case of the train hijackings: Appropriated voices and protective silences in media representation \u003cbr\u003eChapter three \u003cbr\u003eThe case of Jan Pieterszoon Coen’s statue: Repressive voices and resistant silences in public space \u003cbr\u003eChapter four \u003cbr\u003eThe case of De Grauwe Eeuw: Disruptive voices and silences in social activism \u003cbr\u003eConclusion \u003cbr\u003eBeyond logocentrism \u003cbr\u003eEpilogue \u003cbr\u003e “East Indian deafness” \u003cbr\u003eWorks cited \u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50473243410775,"sku":"9789463726177","price":91.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789463726177.jpg?v=1744905836","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/postcolonial-memory-in-the-netherlands-meaningful-voices-meaningful-silences-9789463726177","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
