The Right to Memory
The field of memory studies has typically focused on everyday memory and commemoration practices through which we construct meaning and identities.

With case studies including Polish Holocaust Law, the Indian origins of Amartya Sen's capability theory approach, and the right to memory through digital technologies in Brazilian and British museums, this collected volume seeks to establish the right to memory as a foundational topic in memory studies.
