Our Faithfulness to the Past: The Ethics and Politics of Memory

Canadian philosopher Sue Campbell (1956-2011) did important and influential work in moral and political psychology and in feminist theory. Her interest was in the diverse ways we express emotion and memory and in the political contexts that affect our possibilities for self-expression. Her second book Relational Remembering: Rethinking the Memory Wars (2003) won the North American Society for Social Philosophy 2003 Book Prize, and isessential reading for anyone theorizing about memory and its reliability.
