Memories of violence travel and influence thinking on masculinities

Why is it important?

If we want to resist racism and silences about human rights abuses after colonialism and war and if we want to find strategies for the future, then we need to think about how memories of violence travel across the world and how they are or are not received upon arrival. If we want to understand problems with how justice and equality relate to memories then we need to pay better attention to the migrant men who carry such memories as well as subsequent generations of men, such as their sons, and ask how their masculinities influence their respective places in society and their possibilities of influencing discussions about memories of violence, justice and equality.
