The Special Collections Book of the Week is:

Historical Memory in Africa: dealing with the past, reaching for the future in an intercultural context, edited by Mamadou Diawara et al.

This volume explores the inner dynamics of memory in all its variations, from its most destructive and divisive impact, to its remarkable potential to heal and reconcile. It addresses issues on both the conceptual and the pragmatic level and its theoretical observations and reflections are informed by first-hand experiences and comparative reflections from a German, Indian, and Korean perspective.
