Driven by an increasingly critical postcolonial discourse on French historiography and fueled by the will to acknowledge the relevance of the colonial in the making of modern and contemporary France, the volume Postcolonial Realms of Memory: Sites and Symbols in Modern France (Liverpool, 2020) addresses in a collective and sustained manner this critical gap by postcolonializing the French Republic’s lieux de mémoire.

On October 9, 2020, the Winthrop King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies invites you to join its Zoom roundtable where invited specialists will share their reflections on the volume. Following the presentations, you will be able to submit your questions to the keynote speakers.
