Description
Michael Rothberg's Multidirectional Memory explores the intersection of Holocaust studies and postcolonial studies, making a compelling case for the global significance of Holocaust memory in the age of decolonization.
The book argues that the Holocaust has enabled the articulation of other histories of victimization, while also revealing how public memory of the Holocaust emerged in part through unexpected events such as decolonization movements and civil rights activism in various regions.
Through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, Rothberg engages with a range of influential thinkers, writers, and filmmakers, including Hannah Arendt, Aimé Césaire, and W.E.B. Du Bois, to shed new light on the complex relationships between Holocaust memory and global politics.
