Agency in Transnational Memory Politics cover

The dynamics of transnational memory play a central role in modern politics, from postsocialist efforts at transitional justice to the global legacies of colonialism. Yet, the relatively young subfield of transnational memory studies remains underdeveloped and fractured across numerous disciplines, even as nascent, boundary-crossing theories on topics such as multi-vocal, traveling, or entangled remembrance suggest new ways of negotiating difficult political questions. This volume brings together theoretical and practical considerations to provide transnational memory scholars with an interdisciplinary investigation into agency—the “who” and the “how” of cross-border commemoration that motivates activists and fascinates observers.

“As a whole, the book is a very stimulating contribution to our further explorations of how to conceptualize transnational memory… As the work of developing the third phase of memory studies continues, this book will provide fertile frameworks and materials to further theorize the relations between the transnational, memory, and politics.”• Memory Studies

“This is a timely, necessary and carefully edited volume. It develops a clear-cut conceptual framework for research on transnational memory, illustrated by many well-chosen and well-written case studies from across the globe.”• Joanna Wawrzyniak, University of Warsaw
