Chigbo Arthur Anyaduba: Memory, Remedy, & Meaning in Genocide Studies

In this episode we sit down with Chigbo Arthur Anyaduba, a scholar specializing in African and African/Black Diaspora literatures and the cultural representations of genocides. Arthur discusses his recent work, 'Memory/Remedy: Against the Soothsayer’s Practice,' and provides a thought-provoking critique of using memory as a solution for past atrocities. He challenges the notion that remembering alone can prevent future violence and emphasizes the need for addressing the underlying structures that perpetuate conflict. Join us for an in-depth conversation that rethinks traditional approaches to transitional justice.
