Moving Memory is an ethnography of remembrance in the field of
tension between post-dictatorship Chile and occupied Palestine that
offers new insights into memory politics as a globally resurgent
and increasingly transnational phenomenon. It tells a largely
untold story of a Palestinian diaspora: how a predominantly
Christian, conservative, and wealthy elite has come to form the
backbone of a diasporic community to which the Palestinian struggle
remains a central mobilizing force. Schwabe explores how
Palestinian diaspora politics play into larger attempts to obscure
the recent Chilean past and its consequences, all the while working
to counter Zionist efforts to negate and erase Palestinian
existence. Despite considerable efforts to contain them, memories
move. They travel across porous and ever-changing geographical and
socio-political boundaries, reconfiguring realities in the process.
In exploring the paradoxes of remembering and forgetting between
Palestine and Chile as intertwining nodes in the complex field of
global memory politics, the book demarcates the limits and
possibilities of forging solidarity at the fault lines of memory.
