Museums, Archives and Protest Memory

This book addresses the emergence of ‘protest memory’ as a powerful contemporary shaper of ideas and practices in culture, media and heritage domains. It directly focuses on the role of museums, archives and heritage management of ‘protest memory’ in terms of curation, creation, exhibition and administration of past protests. In creating afterlives of protest for present and future consumption, education and social mediation, these stakeholders in protest memory make a powerful contribution to our understanding of the personal, cultural and collective memories of protests, social movements and activist experiences.
