"""Drawing insights from memory studies, postcolonial studies, and African literature, the book examines how the past is constructed, confronted, contested, and circulated, and it succeeds not only in unsettling the marginality of postcolonial African memory discourses in memory studies, but in contributing to the ongoing quest for decolonized memory studies.""--Chijioke K. Onah ""Journal of the African Literature Association"" Winner: 2022 Nigeria Prize for Literary Criticism-- ""Nigeria Prize for Literary Criticism"" ""Continuous Pasts offers a much-needed Africa-centered contribution to memory and trauma studies from a literary perspective, and Adebayo is just the scholar to make such a contribution. As the book reveals, he has a near encyclopedic knowledge of recent approaches to trauma and memory as well as a broad knowledge of African literature, history, culture, and criticism. This is the book we've been waiting for!"" --Michael Rothberg, author of The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators--Michael Rothberg"
