The Struggle for the Past: How We Construct Social Memories

By Elizabeth Jelin

Organized around Argentine "memory wars" since the 1970s, The Struggle for the Past undertakes an innovative exploration of memory's dynamic social character. In addition to its analysis of how human rights movements have inflected public memory and democratization in Argentina, it also gives an illuminating account of the emergence and development of Memory Studies as a field.
