'Remembering Independence explores the commemoration and remembrance of independence
following the great wave of decolonisation after the Second World War. Drawing on
case studies from Africa, Asia, and with reference to the Pacific, the authors find
that remembering independence was, and still is, highly dynamic. From flag-raising
moments to the present day, the transfer of authority from colonial rule to independent
nation-states has served as a powerful mnemonic focal point. Remembering independence,
in state as well as non-state constructions, connects to changing contemporary purposes
and competing politic visions. Independence is a flexible idea, both a moment in time
and a project, a carrier of hopes and ideals of social justice and freedom, but also
of disappointments and frustrated futures. This richly illustrated volume draws attention
to the broad range of media employed in remembering independence, ranging from museums
and monuments to textual, oral and ritual formats of commemorative events, such as
national days. Combining insights from history and anthropology, this book will be
essential reading for all students of the history of empire, decolonisation, nation-building
and post-colonial politics of memory.'
