The chapters in this volume represent an intriguing, interdisciplinary approach to the study of memory, touching on issues of heritage, storytelling, and reconciliation. The central concern of this volume is not only how we remember the past in the present, but who remembers the past, opening up an engagement with descendant communities and public scholarship.
