Emotionen in der postkolonialen Erinnerungspolitik : Deutschland und Frankreich seit den 1990er Jahren (Medien und kulturelle Erinnerung)

Emotions such as guilt, shame, and remorse are often invoked to justify coming to terms with historical crimes. Taking the Algerian War in France and the genocide of the OvaHerero and Nama in Germany as examples, this book analyzes how emotions are discursively produced in postcolonial memory politics and how these enable or prevent a recognition of the "suffering of the Other".
