The history of colonization is about violence and cultural domination. The memories are still very sensitive both in the colonies and in the metropolises.

This study proposes to accelerate the process of reconciliation of memories through community participation. It focuses on the role of mediation played by intellectuals through research, seminars and teaching of colonial history. The observations of this study are inspired by the reports of various commissions and the interviews with in particularly students and teachers in the social sciences.
