(Post)Colonial Histories : Trauma, Memory and Reconciliation in the Context of the Angolan Civil War, Paperback / softback Book

(Post)Colonial Histories : Trauma, Memory and Reconciliation in the Context of the Angolan Civil War Paperback / softback

Edited by Steffi Hobu¿, Benedikt Jager

Part of the Postcolonial Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

The documentary My heart of Darkness (Sweden 2011) tells the story of a South-African paratrooper returning to Angola: Facing former enemies, he tries to regain mental health and reconciliation.

The film marks the stepping-stone for this volume: The contributions examine different facets like the memory-discourse, genre aspects, the use of music, and authentification processes.

Several texts discuss these topics in a more general way including other films.

Furthermore, some articles are devoted to the historical context, i.e. the Angolan Civil War and the aftermath of this conflict in the cultural sphere.
