Abstract

Public history and memory-making have become critical in post-conflict societies as they seek to understand their past and move towards reconciliation. This theoretical framework will draw from existing literature on public history, memory studies, and post-conflict societies in Africa. This theoretical framework provides a solid foundation for future research on the impact of public history on memory-making in post-conflict contexts. Public historians should collaborate more closely with local communities to ensure that their work is inclusive and reflective of diverse perspectives.
