This book asks the question: what is the role of memory during a
political transition? Drawing on Ethiopian history, transitional
justice, and scholarly fields concerned with memory, museums and
trauma, the author reveals a complex picture of global,
transnational, national and local forces as they converge in the
story of the creation and continued life of one modest museum in
the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa-the Red Terror Martyrs Memorial
Museum. It is a study from multiple margins: neither the case of
Ethiopia nor memorialization is central to transitional justice
discourse, and within Ethiopia, the history of the Red Terror is
sidelined in contemporary politics. From these nested margins,
traumatic memory emerges as an ambiguous social and political
force. The contributions, meaning and limitations of memory emerge
at the point of discrete interactions between memory advocates,
survivor-docents and visitors. Memory from the margins is revealed
as powerful for how it disrupts, not builds, new forms of
community.
