Description: The Covid-19 pandemic forced new and creative ways of remembering. At the same time, during the months of lockdowns and shutdowns, many remarkable moments of reckoning bubbled up. Still, the memory terrain remains uneven. This event brings together contributors to our latest issue of the NACLA Report, "Against Forgetting: Mobilizing Memory for Reckoning and Repair," to discuss how memory can be leveraged as a tool of political action and education while its antithesis, forgetting, can serve as a weapon to impose silence and erasure. In conversation with historian Greg Grandin, participants will share insights and reflections on processes of historical reckonings in Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, and the Caribbean. Free and open to the public. *Suggested donation $5. Register to receive Zoom link. | |
