Description
State Repression and the Labors of Memory by Elizabeth Jelin offers guidance as societies struggle to come to terms with the past and its lasting impact.
This insightful book combines a sense of present urgency with theoretical understanding, providing tools for thinking about and analyzing the complexities of memory, history, and social reality. Jelin explores the role of women in coping with the legacies of military dictatorships, the nature of truth in testimony, and the relationship between historiography and memory.
Through its exploration of conflicts over memory, the book exposes the enduring consequences of repression for social processes in Latin America, while also enriching our understanding of the fundamentally conflicted and contingent nature of memory.
