Opening the newspapers in South America at the beginning of the
21st century can feel like being caught in static time: so many of
the contemporary news stories point to the persistence of a past
which is definitely not "over". The attempts to try Pinochet, the
continuing searches for the disappeared, or a child of murdered
parents' struggle to discover their real identity, the Truth
Commission in Peru - across the continent, societies continue to
come to terms with the past. This book provides an introduction to
the complexity of ideas and approaches which have been brought to
bear on memory and its importance for understanding social and
political realities. Elizabeth Jelin draws on European and North
American debates and theories to explore the ways in which
conflicts over memory shape individual and collective identities,
as well social and political cleavages. The book exposes the
enduring consequences of repression and enriches our understanding
of the conflicted and contingent nature of memory.
