Summary "Beyond Collective Memory analyzes how two African places became icons of "memory" for certain publics, yet remain marginal to discourses of national and continental "memory." Thiaroye, a Senegalese location of a colonial-era massacre, and District Six, a South African neighborhood destroyed under apartheid, have epitomized a shared "memory" of racist violence and resistant community"-- Provided by publisher
