Third thematic conference of the CRG Africa in the IO
Martin-Luther University, Halle (Saale), Germany
25-26 June 2018
This two-day Conference had contributions that addressed the various expressions of historical memories of the past and their impacts upon social relationships, literary production, cultural practices, heritage issues and political policies. Participants discussed how emories of the past are both produced by and frame relationships between different groups in Madagascar, between people of free and slave ancestry in Mauritius, between islanders in the Comoros and between “Arabs” and “Africans” in Zanzibar. Participants were encouraged to address the dynamics of contemporary productions of history and of memories of these migrant pasts, and how the narratives thus produced shape contemporary modes of belonging.
