Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America is a collection of
essays that explores historical memory at the intersection of
political, cultural, social, and economic forces in the contexts of
Spain and Latin America. The essays here focus on a variety of
forms of memory-from the most concrete to the performative-that
resist forgetting and unite individuals against hegemonic memory.
The volume comprises four thematic sections that focus on Chile,
Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican
Republic. Keeping in line with the concept informing this
collection, that the past returns politically to haunt the present,
the four sections move from the contemporary context to the
colonial and pre-Columbian eras in Latin America. For all its
diversity, the researchers' interdisciplinary methodology displayed
in this collection brings to light processes that would otherwise
have remained illegible under a more narrow interpretative approach
to historical memory. This volume focuses on the processes of
remembering in geographies that have been transformed by violence
and conflict in Spain and Latin America. In the cases investigated
witnessing, trauma, and testimony speak to the urgency of truth and
justice; historical memory, therefore, is ultimately a political
act.
