"In a variety of spheres--political, legal, cultural, and historiographic--debates regarding memories of empire have, over the past decade, acquired a genuine urgency in France and in the wider French-speaking world. This volume provides a useful set of essays that explore the legacies of colonialism in a wide range of locations and in a number of very difference arenas. The contributors include established scholars and some of the most important early-career researchers active in this field. The collection as whole is a significant contribution to new work in Francophone postcolonial studies."--Charles Forsdick, University of Liverpool
