Recenzii
Winner: 2022 Nigeria Prize for Literary Criticism
“Continuous Pasts offers a much-needed Africa-centered contribution to memory and trauma studies from a literary perspective, and Adebayo is just the scholar to make such a contribution. As the book reveals, he has a near encyclopedic knowledge of recent approaches to trauma and memory as well as a broad knowledge of African literature, history, culture, and criticism. This is the book we’ve been waiting for!”
—Michael Rothberg, author of The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators
—Michael Rothberg, author of The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators
"Drawing insights from memory studies, postcolonial studies, and African literature, the book examines how the past is constructed, confronted, contested, and circulated, and it succeeds not only in unsettling the marginality of postcolonial African memory discourses in memory studies, but in contributing to the ongoing quest for decolonized memory studies."
"Continuous Pasts constitutes a clear and compelling link between the fields of memory studies and African studies. It also provides a valuable alternative to both national frameworks that confine memories within artificially construed spaces and global articulations of memory that lost sight of regional specificities."
Descriere
Investigates the ways in which postcolonial African fiction deals with or, in some cases, becomes the source of memory friction
