Contested Histories in Public Space brings multiple perspectives to bear on historical narratives presented to the public in museums, monuments, texts, and festivals around the world, from Paris to Kathmandu, from the Mexican state of Oaxaca to the waterfront of Wellington, New Zealand. Paying particular attention to how race and empire are implicated in the creation and display of national narratives, the contributing historians, anthropologists, and other scholars delve into representations of contested histories at such sites as a British Library exhibition on the East India Company, a Rio de Janeiro shantytown known as the cradle of samba, the Ellis Island immigration museum, and highschool history textbooks in Ecuador.Several contributors examine how the experiences of indigenous groups and the imperial past are incorporated into public histories in British Commonwealth nations: in Te Papa, New Zealands national museum; in the First Peoples Hall at the Canadian Museum of Civilization; and, more broadly, in latetwentiethcentury Australian culture. Still others focus on the role of governments in mediating contested racialized histories: for example, the postapartheid history of South Africas Voortrekker Monument, originally designed as a tribute to the Voortrekkers who colonized the countrys interior. Among several essays describing how national narratives have been challenged are pieces on a dispute over how to represent Nepali history and identity, on representations of Afrocuban religions in contemporary Cuba, and on the installation in the French Pantheon in Paris of a plaque honoring Louis Delgrs, a leader of Guadeloupean resistance to French colonialism.Contributors.
