"Negotiating Memories of Protest in Western Europe" explores the
transmission of memories of European protest movements in the late
1960s and 1970s. Focusing on the specific case of Italy, the book
examines the ways in which different memory agents negotiate
memories of violence against left-wing activists, perpetrated by
representatives of the state. It does so through a discussion of
commemorative rituals, memory sites and other forms of 'memory
work' performed by various social groups within the local setting
of Bologna, where a left-wing student and protester was shot dead
by police in 1977. By drawing on this fascinating case study,
Andrea Hajek lays bare the dynamic relation between official and
unofficial memories of conflict and and explores the challenges of
historical research into social movements.
