內容簡介
Settler and Creole Re-enactment is a collection of essays from around the world (Americas, Europe, Australia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand) dealing with historical re-enactments undertaken by people born and raised in countries to which their ancestors did not belong. The relation of settlers and creoles to the past is therefore bifurcated, partly belonging to the land in which presently they live, and partly to a different place that is only remembered as home. How then does re-enactment help forge an imagined community with people whose claims on the land are immemorial, a community that includes not only indigenes but a metropolitan culture that is no longer cognate with the realities of settler life, or even with what settlers remember of it? What kinds of shifts and interruptions in historical perspective are necessary to make this a credible history of change and memory, or is it more like a fiction? Is fiction under these circumstances a useful and necessary addition to history, or not?
