Additional information
Research imperatives and process: This book explores why and how contemporary artists have returned to former European colonies in recent years, investigating the spectres of past injustices that remain repressed in European consciousness, historiography and artistic discourse. Organized over five inter-connected chapters, Demos uses the case study both to specify and contextualize the select artist’s work within a broader set of artistic developments in Europe and Africa, including contemporary art’s relation to the politics of documentary film and documentary fiction, historiography, and postcolonial globalization.
