Focusing on the intersection of memory and social movements, this book examines how communities affected by violence utilize memory-based narratives to compel states to address cultural rights. It explores the role of shaming and claiming in linking historical injustices to current citizenship issues. Through six case studies from Mexico, Turkey, and El Salvador, the author illustrates how democratization influences citizen representation and how memorialization challenges state-led amnesia, providing marginalized groups with emotional leverage in advocating for minority rights.
