The geographic study of landscapes of violence is a field of increasing analysis. Most research has focused on how violence is remembered, a recognition that landscape serves to mark and materialize certain memories of that violence. Little research has centered on what has been forgotten that also materializes, and why these forms of materializations occur? Why do some landscapes of violence have an 'afterlife' presence that transcends time and contemporary representations portraying that violent past? In this book, the unfolding of what is present in particular spaces of former violence is viewed through various geographical and social processes which include human, non-human, and haunting elements. What becomes present is the product, I propose, of historical, geographical, and ethnographic contingent affordances that allow particular presences of violence to remain embedded and attached to specific battlefield spaces.
