Adebayo argues that the post-conflict fiction of memory in Africa invites critical deliberations on the continuity of the past within the realm of positionality and the domain of subjectivity--that is to say, the past is not merely present; instead, it survives, lives on, and is mediated through the subject positions of victims, perpetrators, as well as secondary and transgenerational witnesses. The book also argues that post-conflict fiction of memory in Africa shows the unfinished business of the past produces fragile regimes of peace and asynchronous temporalities that challenge progressive historicism. 'Continuous Pasts' shows how post-conflict fictions of memory in Africa recalibrate discourses of futurity, solidarity, responsibility, justice, survival, and reconciliation. Each text analyzed in the book provides, in very interesting ways, an imaginative possibility and template for how post-independence African countries can 'remember together' using what the author describes as an African transnational memory framework."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-171) and index. 505 0 $a The past is full of ruptures -- The past is a contested territory: Half of a yellow sun as a postmemory fiction -- The past continues in silence: memory, complicity, and the post-conflict timescapes in The memory of love -- The past continues in another country: African transnational memory in a migratory setting -- The past continues through subject positions: memory, subjectivity, and secondary witnessing in The shadow of Imana. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a African literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z Africa. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z Africa. 650 0 $a Memory $x Sociological aspects. 650 0 $a Memory in literature. 650 0 $a Social conflict in literature. 650 7 $a African literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799832 650 7 $a Collective memory $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 $a Postcolonialism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073032 651 7 $a Africa $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkHrMyfHC67yqRTycbrv3 $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 710 2 $a University of Michigan. $b Press, $e publisher. $4 pbl 830 0 $a African perspectives (University of Michigan.
