This book provides a framework for understanding and analyzing
Bernie Sanders's democratic socialism, its origins, its maturation,
and its evolution between 1972, when Sanders ran for the Vermont
gubernatorial election for the first time, and 2020, when he made
his second presidential run. The core argument is that Bernie
Sanders's characteristic brand of socialism evolved from the mould
of late 19th century utopian radicalism to radical demands for
state and corporate accountability in the 21st century, turning
into a social movement for reparative justice that rose to national
prominence in the wake of the Great Recession in 2008 and of the
Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011.
Traces and Memories deals with the foundation, mechanisms and scope
of slavery-related memorial processes, interrogating how
descendants of enslaved populations reconstruct the history of
their ancestors when transatlantic slavery is one of the variables
of the memorial process. While memory studies mark a shift from
concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, the
book seeks to bridge the memorial representations of historical
events with the production and knowledge of those events. The book
offers a methodological and epistemological reflection on the
challenges that are raised by archival limitations in relation to
slavery and how they can be overcome. It covers topics such as the
historical and memorial legacy/ies of slavery, the memorialization
of slavery, the canonization and patrimonialization of the memory
of slavery, the places and conditions of the production of
knowledge on slavery and its circulation, the heritage of slavery
and the (re)construction of (collective) identity. By offering
fresh perspectives on how slavery-related sites of memory have been
retrospectively (re)framed or (re)shaped, the book probes the
constraints which determine the inscription of this contentious
memory in the public sphere. The volume will serve as a valuable
resource in the area of slavery, memory, and Atlantic studies.
