“…Contemporary archaeology can be used as a tool to assess both past and present inequalities. Urban development can lead to unequal treatment of citizens, such as gentrification that tends to push poverty out of sight and mind (Mullins 2006; Baram 2019). The Nordic countries—though often presented in public as utopian models of socialist success—are no exception and there are troubled legacies connected to government policies both in the past and in the present.…”

“…Likewise, in Butetown memory work demonstrates resilience not through the demarcation of high-water lines, but through maritime heritage and the direct demarcation of the multicultural past into the banal streetscapes of this Cardiff neighborhood. Perhaps, as seen in the memorialization of Butetown's Campbell in the City Centre or the performances of Butetown's past, present, and future in Cardiff Bay, this resilience will expand, draw upon growing calls for social justice, and cut through the abstracted meaning and discourse currently present in the memorial landscape of the city (c.f Baram 2019;Meiners & Quinn 2019)…”

Since Cardiff became the Welsh capital in 1955 and the subsequent referendum placed the new Welsh Assembly Government in Cardiff Bay, the city’s grasp on a Welsh national narrative has only intensified. This paper approaches the various agents of memory work around the city through a landscape analysis to better understand the processes of Welsh memory at work in Cardiff. Furthermore, it focuses on Butetown, the historically multicultural docklands community of Cardiff, and its relationship with the old urban and civic core of the city and the new developments of Cardiff Bay. Butetown fuelled the coal industry which propelled Cardiff towards the wealthy capital and colonial enclave it is today yet continues to be excluded from Welsh national narratives. Redevelopment and gentrification further squeeze Butetown into an ever-smaller core of what it once was. This research indicates that while this resilient cosmopolitan culture continues in many forms, the context of (the) capital continues to complicate Cardiff and its shifting relationship with the history and culture of Welsh identity. By employing a flexible landscape analysis towards historical and ongoing urban development, the memory at work in cultural and political urban landscapes emerges amongst broader considerations of national identity.

The articles collected here argue that there is much at stake in how memory is made, particularly at public sites where the United States' exceptionalism and 'greatness' are contested. How is memory made in these places? Whose voices are represented and who controls access? How are communities taking back control, asserting their own stakes in iconic national stories and demanding recognition? Authors in this volume examine memories that haunt both diasporic and Indigenous communities to reflect upon the changing nature of historical memory at sites, up to and including the contemporary moment. This introduction considers 'white history,' the violence it emboldens and requires, four types of truth identified by Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, and public judgement. I integrate these concepts to advocate for working towards a reconciliatory process and healing truth.
