Reviews

Mapping Memory lays bare the affective, visual, spatial, and performative imprints of memories as afterlives of modernity's violence. Through careful analysis across the Americas, Murphy investigates how even the tiniest places unveil an archive of historical terror that continues to be visually palpable and viscerally felt in everyday experiences. Murphy's attention to visible presences and the materiality of memory thoughtfully opens new horizons for mnemonic theory and action.--Macarena G mez-Barris, Social Science & Cultural Studies, Pratt Institute
