The Making of Memory: Tracing the Origins, Development, and Contestation of Post-Colonial Memory Regimes in East Africa
REFNo: SS3936ES
This research investigates the emergence and evolution of post-colonial memory regimes in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, focusing on how these states have navigated the legacy of British colonialism after independence. It explores why states with traumatic colonial histories take divergent approaches to memorialising trauma, and how these memory regimes shape national identity and international relations. By examining the institutional, cultural, and diplomatic dimensions of memory politics—particularly through national curricula, monuments, independence celebrations, and post-colonial foreign policy—the project contributes to International Relations and memory studies by deepening our understanding of how national memory evolves after traumatic historical events. In doing so, it has three primary objectives: first, to make a theoretical contribution by addressing a gap in International Relations (IR) literature on memory politics, which has the tendency to focus on European and East Asian contexts, and thereby neglects an understanding of the development of official memory in the African context; second, to provide empirical insights into how East African states navigated nation-building and the politics of remembrance in the context of ethnic diversity, colonial legacy, and broader systemic pressures; and third, to highlight the utility of moving away from a predominant focus on conflict as the object of study in international relations, which offers limited insight into cases where states undergo a traumatic period, and yet do not develop strong state led nationalist politics surrounding that trauma. The study combines archival research, elite interviews, and discourse analysis. Archival work will be conducted at Makerere University and the National Archives of Uganda, focusing on records related to post-colonial state building, commemorative practices, and UK–Ugandan relations. Interviews will be held with policymakers, civil society actors, academic experts, and individuals with expertise in the independence struggle and memory politics. Ethical considerations remain central to the project. Participation in interviews will be voluntary, with informed consent obtained in writing, or recorded verbally if necessary. Interviewees may withdraw at any time without penalty, and pseudonyms will be used unless express permission is granted. Data will be securely stored and anonymised.
