Feeling 🥳🙃😍 to have a blurb from novelist Yara Rodrigues Fowler.

Given how much I want Searching for Memory to be about the importance and complexities of narrative, a blurb from such a gifted storyteller like Yara means the world to me.

I'm an historian of Latin America, mostly social movements, memory, and development studies. My newest book (forthcoming this spring) is a biography of Aluízio Palmar, a former political prison in Brazil who became a human rights activist. It's about his life, but also how he has narrated his life.

Page proofs are here! Coming to bookshelves near you in April. @uncpress.bsky.social

And official news coming sometime next week, but it will be published in Brazil at the same, with Editora Garamond.
