Calling Memory Into Place

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this deeply personal work, acclaimed art historian Dora Apel explores how memory can be mobilized for social justice and how inherited traumas can be channeled in productive ways. Examining memorials, photographs, artworks, and her own experiences as a cancer survivor and the child of holocaust survivors, she discovers strategies for “unforgetting” the past.
