About this episode
Does it make any sense to compare individual personality and memory to historical and collective memory? Much like our own memories, the past is often remembered according to the needs of the present. The Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968 offers an opportunity to think about questions of nationalism, historical memory, and collective identity. This episode is Part V in a series on the Mexican Dirty War. It discusses the Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968 and why it is such a seminal moment in Mexican History. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!
