Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do processes of public memory such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa precipitate justice and recompense? When do such techniques, performances, and displays of memory obscure and elide aspects of the history of colonial governmentality? This collection addresses these and other questions in essays that take up the varied legacies, continuities, modes of memorialization, and poetics of remaking that attend colonial governmentality in spaces as varied as the Maghreb and the Solomon Islands.
