This book investigates how monuments have been used in Africa as tools of oppression and dominance, from the colonial period up to the present day.The book asks what the decolonisation of historical monuments and geographies might entail and how this could contribute to the creation of a post-imperial world. In recent times, African movements to overthrow the symbols and monuments of the colonial era have gathered pace as a means of renaming, reclassifying, and reimagining colonial identities and spaces. Movements such as #RhodesMustFall in South Africa have sprung up around the world, connected by a history of Black life struggles, erasures, oppression, suppression, and the depression of Black biopolitics. This book provides an important multidisciplinary intervention in the discourse on monuments and memories, asking what they are, what they have been used to represent, and ultimately what they can reveal about past and present forms of pain and oppression.Drawing on insights from philosophy, historical sociology, politics, museum, and literary studies, this book will be of interest to a range of scholars with an interest in the decolonisation of global African history.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available by KU 2024 under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

A radical reinterpretation of the historically oppressed “black racialized underclass” in South Africa and Brazil.The book explores how South Africa’s and Brazil’s social policy architectures have been shaped by transhistorical trajectories of hierarchical citizenships. Phiri provides two interventions to scholarship, one on “the epistemic question” and the second on “the social question”, by offering a critique of a racialized neoliberal global political economy that permeates the two countries’ social policies. In doing so, he addresses several important questions. First, can social policy resolve the residuals and contradictions of transhistorical inequalities that have become systemic features of these aspirant democracies that aim to forge a new social contract under hierarchical racialized neoliberal capitalism? Second, given the fact that both South Africa’s and Brazil’s socio-political formations are enmeshed in histories of imperial violence, and a hierarchical racialized global political economy carved through Trans-Atlantic slavery, what paradigmatic and theoretical tools can be deployed to think about social policy as reparations? Third, which institutions will create conducive conditions for the flourishing and political aesthetics for those racialized as black? Phiri concludes by defining “social policy as reparations” through a process of “worldmaking”.
