Summary:In the wake of recent protests against police violence and racism, calls to dismantle problematic memorials have reverberated around the globe.

Drawing on research from experts on memory dynamics across various disciplines, this extensive collection seeks to make sense of the current state of de-commemoration as it transforms contemporary societies around the world.
