Summary:

"Eleven new essays originally written in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, present diverse scholarly approaches to oral narratives in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds. The essays explore individual and collective memories of conflictive national pasts, the body and emotional memory, subjectivity in re/framing social identities, and visual and performative re/presentations of memory"-- Provided by publisher.
