In this paper I seek to review the literature regarding the spaces of memory and forgetting outside the geographical core of the Western discipline. This takes in two bodies of literature.

Second, I move beyond the scope of ‘developed’ countries to look at works on memory in India, where subaltern, communal, and rural memories have been explored.
