Les images de manifestants mettant à terre une statue du marchand d’esclaves Edward Colston au Royaume-Uni ou celles de la grue soulevant de leur piédestal le général confédéré Robert E.Lee et son cheval aux États-Unis ont fait le tour du monde. L’attention extraordinaire portée par le public et les médias à ces déboulonnages suggère que nous sommes témoins d’un moment charnière dans la politique mondiale de la mémoire. En faisant appel à près de cinquante historiens et historiennes, sociologues, anthropologues du monde entier, Sarah Gensburger et Jenny Wüstenberg invitent à saisir, sur le temps long, les nombreuses formes de cette «dé-commémoration». La suppression de symboles publics n’est ni une pratique nouvelle, ni une singularité occidentale, ni, nécessairement, l’action de militants luttant contre les héritages racistes et coloniaux. Elle est le résultat d’idéologies et d’intérêts politiques très différents comme, parfois, la conséquence de phénomènes plus ordinaires. Des statues de Lénine en Ukraine à celle de Joséphine de Beauharnais en Martinique, des noms de rues en Algérie ou à Vichy au cimetière de Khavaran en Iran, en passant par les monuments coloniaux en Namibie ou l’acte de voter aux États-Unis, le mouvement se révèle complexe et diversifié. Une réflexion essentielle sur la manière dont les sociétés peuvent transformer, ou non, le passé.

Black communities have been making major contributions to Europe's social and cultural life and landscapes for centuries. However, their achievements largely remain unrecognized by the dominant societies, as their perspectives are excluded from traditional modes of marking public memory. For the first time in European history, leading Black scholars and activists examine this issue - with first-hand knowledge of the eight European capitals in which they live. Highlighting existing monuments, memorials, and urban markers they discuss collective narratives, outline community action, and introduce people and places relevant to Black European history, which continues to be obscured today.
