Description
Memoryscapes and Peace by Mohammad Musfequs Salehin
This edited volume introduces memoryscapes to explain how collective memory moves between conflict and healing. Through a dynamic framework and diverse cases, it shows how inclusive, participatory practices can transform violent pasts and foster accountability, reconciliation and sustainable peace.
Readers gain a practical framework to analyze and shape memory work that supports healing, justice and sustainable peace. The book delivers this through its three-gradient model (healing, dissent, resistance), a methodological toolkit, and comparative cases from museums, monuments, heritage and burial sites, refugee camps, media, education and the arts—while confronting politicisation, institutionalisation and post-truth challenges.
Intended for researchers, students and practitioners in peace and conflict studies, heritage and memory studies, anthropology, sociology, political science and media/education, as well as museum and memorial professionals, peacebuilders, educators, civil society organisers and policymakers working with contested pasts.
