Remembering Contentious Lives (Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies) (2025. xiii, 213 S. XIII, 213 p. 7 illus., 5 illus. in color. 210 mm)

This collection 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 activism? Building on cutting-edge scholarship on the socio-political potential of narrating lived experience, this volume takes life-writing as a new point of observation on the entanglement between memory and activism.
