Ghosts of Memory provides an overview of literature on
relatedness and memory and then moves beyond traditional approaches
to the subject, exploring the subtle and complex intersections
between everyday forms of relatedness in the present and memories
of the past.
- Explores how various subjects are located in personal and
familial histories that connect to the wider political formations
of which they are a part
- Closely examines diverse and intriguing case studies, e.g.
Catholic residents of a decayed railway colony in Bengal, and sex
workers in London
- Brings together original essays authored by contemporary
experts in the field
- Draws on anthropology, literature, memory studies, and social history
