  abstract: Drawing upon the theories of memory studies, this book challenges the historical authenticity of colonialism in the works of Édouard Glissant, Caryl Phillips and Tierno Monénembo as they seek to place their fiction in the aftermath of reparative histories. Trehan examines not only the histories of displacement, diasporic traditions, genocidal trauma and the continuation of colonialist affiliations in postcolonial societies, but the creative resistance to hegemony. Focusing on the embedded historical memory, the author examines the implications of remembrance (including selective remembering and forgetting) in the process of decolonization-bringing forth the struggle of representation and recognition. This book probes the transmission of traumatic memory across generations by amplifying the nexus between history and memory, reading beyond nation-based interpretations. By comparing the continuity of colonial legacy in the works of Glissant, Phillips and Monénembo, Trehan examines a model of postcolonial inheritance to understand how ordinary people relate to the question of political expression by focusing on the colonial history, memory and trauma.
