This book takes the urban space as a starting point for thinking
about practices, actors, narratives, and imaginations within
articulations of memory. The social protests and mobilizations
against colonial statues are examples of how past injustice and
violence keep on shaping debates in the present. Following an
interdisciplinary approach, the contributions to this book focus on
the in/visibility and affective power of monuments and traces
through political, activist, and artistic contestations in
different geographical settings. They show that memories are shaped
in contact zones, most often in conflict and within hierarchical
social relations. The notion of decentered memory shifts the
perspective to relationships between imperial centers and margins,
remembrance and erasure, nationalistic tendencies and migration.
This plurality of connections emerges around unfinished histories
of violence and resistance that are reflected in monuments and
traces.
