Abstract
Dennis Walder’s Postcolonial
Nostalgias (2011) demonstrates
coherent scholarship based on
a critique of representation. It
delves into the twilight zone
identified by E.J. Hobsbawm as existing
between history and memory in the finale of
The age of empire (1989), from which Walder
gleans uncertainty, obscurity and fuzziness.
Penetrating this uncertainty involves
identifying the sources of nostalgia in that
hiatus between history and memory.
