Samenvatting

This collection is the first to integrate insights from life writing studies into the field of memory studies and opens a new chapter in the study of the memory-activism nexus. It addresses two interrelated questions: How are the lived experiences of contention remembered in the form of auto/biography? How is life writing, as an act of cultural remembrance, used in (contemporary) activism? Building on cutting-edge scholarship on the socio-political potential of narrating lived experience, this volume focuses on life-writing as a new point of observation on the entanglement between memory and activism.

This is an open access book.
