How can memory be mobilized for social justice? How can inherited family and cultural traumas be channeled in productive ways? In this deeply personal work, I examine artworks and tell autobiographical stories to fuel a process of “unforgetting.” Ten essays shift between the scholarly, the personal, and the visual as different modes of knowing, and suggest how awareness of historical trauma is deeply inscribed on the body. By investigating the relations among place, memory, and identity, this study shines a light on the dynamic nature of memory as it crosses geography and generations.
