“[T]he sum of the individual analyses in the volume signals important new methods and directions for the field of memory studies. This book is sure to have a decisive impact on scholars researching political violence, memory, forgetting, and commodification throughout the world.” — Macarena Gomez-Barris, American Historical Review

“I am grateful to the editors of Accounting for Violence for assembling these engrossing and informative articles…. By providing and analyzing examples, both good and bad, Accounting for Violence contributes to a better awareness of the dangers and a more sophisticated understanding of what is at stake.” — Teresa Goodwin Phelps, Human Rights Quarterly

"The book coheres well, and its individual contributions are superb. . . . [It] has intervened into an increasingly lively debate among memory scholars and practitioners."  — Kristen Weld, Latin American Research Review

“In the case of Accounting for Violence, the broad range of cases explored in the chapters is both sobering and inspiring. Moreover, the volume’s excellent conclusion unites the chapters and raises larger questions, urging students and scholars alike to participate in the debate on the pressing concerns put forward by its contributors.” — Katrien Klep, Journal of Latin American Studies

“Accounting for Violence is a path-breaking book. Its topic is important, fascinating, and new to Latin American studies, where scholarship on memory has tended to concentrate on the vexations of acknowledging past violence; the travails of inscribing such events in legal, political, and social institutions; and, more recently, issues related to public space. Encompassing literature, history, advertising, cultural studies, philosophy, fashion, and television, Accounting for Violence ushers in a new wave of post-trauma scholarship.” — Marguerite Feitlowitz, author of A Lexicon of Terror: Argentina and the Legacies of Torture

“This is an innovative, remarkable exploration of themes related to memory in postdictatorial Latin American societies. Incorporating the best scholarship on the topic, the contributors to Ksenija Bilbija’s and Leigh A. Payne’s collection reframe memory within a market economy where remembrances are advertised, appropriated, and commodified. This is a truly interdisciplinary work, spanning the study of literature, film, testimonials, and urban space. It will certainly be a reference in the field for years to come.” — Idelber Avelar, author of The Untimely Present: Postdictatorial Latin American Fiction and the Task of Mourning
