Bridget Conley, *Memory from the Margins: Ethiopia’s Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum*. Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019.

This monograph poses an intriguing question: "What role does memory play during a political transition?" By exploring Ethiopian history, transitional justice, and academic fields that deal with memory, museums, and trauma, Bridget Conley reveals a rich narrative filled with global, transnational, national, and local influences, all centered around a small museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—the Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum. This analysis comes from various perspectives: neither the Ethiopian situation nor the process of memorialization is typically at the forefront of transitional justice debates, and within Ethiopia, the history of the Red Terror is frequently ignored in current political discussions. From these complex perspectives, traumatic memory surfaces as a multifaceted social and political force. The roles, meanings, and constraints of memory become clear through the unique interactions among memory advocates, survivor-docents, and visitors. Memory from the margins proves to be impactful in how it disrupts rather than creates new community forms.
