Authors from a variety of disciplines dealing with diverse historical cases engage with the spatial deployment of violence and the possibilities for memory and resistance in contexts of state sponsored violence, enforced disappearances and regimes of exception. Contributors include Aleida Assmann, Jay Winter and David Harvey.

Reviews

"This ground-breaking book has an impressive sweep of theoretical, geographical and historical engagement with totalitarian state violence, space and memory. It will be an important source for those working with power, space, violence, geography and memory across a range of arts, humanities and social science subjects." - Owain Jones, Professor of Environmental Humanities, Bath Spa University, UK
