Time : 6:30 pm

Entry : Free

Event Details : 'Memory as History: A Daughter’s Testimony' As part of Frontiers of History Series.
This talk will move beyond a historical event and well-established historical facts to recreate the memory of a colonial subject, living in postcolonial times, as a historical narrative and as a parallel history of events and non-events, memory and history, testimony and experience. Defying the distinction between victim and victimizer, it will unfold the shifts, ambiguities, silences and contradictions in an individual memory.

Speaker : Dr. Nonica Datta, author of Violence, Martyrdom and Partition: A Daughter’s Testimony (OUP, 2009)
