Description
Monuments Decolonized explores the complex legacy of French-built war memorials in Algeria and their subsequent removal to France. Following Algeria's independence in 1962, these monuments took on new meanings, sparking debates about colonial nostalgia and decolonization.
Susan Slyomovics examines the afterlives of these contested works of art through extensive fieldwork and interviews with heritage actors and artists in both countries. Richly illustrated with over 100 color images, this book offers a fresh perspective on the global movement to reevaluate monuments that celebrate settler colonial histories.
