Mobility of Memory

Luisa Passerini is Professor Emerita of History at the European University Institute, Florence, and former Principal Investigator of the European Research Project “Bodies across Borders: Oral and Visual Memory in Europe and Beyond.”

“The fieldwork that these authors have carried out for several years makes this book’s insights particularly valuable. Art and images are used in a rich and experimental way to discuss human rights struggles, narratives of memory and identity, changes needed in conceptualising identity and language, and more horizontal ways to address contemporary migration in education.” • Margaret Tali, University of Groningen
