The Omnipresent Past

Historical Anthropology of Africa and African Diaspora

edited by Dmitri M. Bondarenko, Marina L. Butovskaya

This collection of papers explores the variegated ways that the continent’s rich and complex history – precolonial, colonial and postcolonial – continues to impact and sometimes to haunt the lives of contemporary Africans and persons of African descent. The volume combines phenomenological approaches that consider the ways Africans experience historical memory alongside considerations of the ways in which past modalities of power continue to structure African realities.
