About this book
This book addresses the emergence of ‘protest memory’ as a powerful contemporary shaper of ideas and practices in culture, media and heritage domains. Directly focused on the role of museum and archive practitioners in protest memory curation, it makes a compelling contribution to our understanding of how social movements and activist experiences are publicly remembered and activated for social and environmental justice.
Reviews
Ann Rigney, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
This short book enlivens memory as something that can spark protest and propel the commemoration, re-use and attempted management of its ‘afterlives’ by various players. Case studies of the Women’s March and London’s environmental river activisms offer rich models for readers seeking to understand the prefigurative political possibilities of activist collaborations with cultural institutions and for cultural workers alike. A terrific read.
