Description
In Remembering Hope, Ann Rigney examines the role of storytelling in transferring hope in social transformation from one generation of activists to another. She uses the tools of cultural memory studies to explain how shared narratives about protest are produced using words, images, video, and performance. Rigney's long-term approach shows that cultural memory and activism are deeply entwined across generations and reveals how cultural memory work has been used as a form of resistance to historical outcomes and as a tool for kick-starting older campaigns in new contexts. Above all, the book challenges the assumption that grievance rather than active citizenship has always been at the heart of collective memory.
