«This excellent collection of essays reveals new and meaningful connections between the ways in which Spain and Latin America have been coming to terms with recent and not-so-recent violent pasts. The book not only makes the case for a Trans-Atlantic approach to memory studies in the Spanish-speaking world, but is also evidence of the specific contribution that literature, culture, and cultural criticism can make to the complex social processes that define individual and collective relationships with the past.»

This volume focuses on the processes of remembering in geographies that have been transformed by violence and conflict in Spain and Latin America. In the cases investigated witnessing, trauma, and testimony speak to the urgency of truth and justice; historical memory, therefore, is ultimately a political act.
