The depiction of historical humanitarian disasters in art
exhibitions, news reports, monuments and heritage landscapes has
framed the harrowing images we currently associate with
dispossession. People across the world are driven out of their
homes and countries on a wave of conflict, poverty and famine, and
our main sites for engaging with their loss are visual news and
social media. In a reappraisal of the viewer's role in
representations of displacement, Niamh Ann Kelly examines a wide
range of commemorative visual culture from the
mid-nineteenth-century Great Irish Famine. Her analysis of memorial
images, objects and locations from that period until the early 21st
century shows how artefacts of historical trauma can affect
understandings of enforced migrations as an ongoing form of
political violence. This book will be of interest to students and
researchers of museum and heritage studies, material culture, Irish
history and contemporary visual cultures exploring dispossession.
