Cambridge Scholars Publishing will publish Memory and The Poetics of Remembering, a collection of essays edited by Abbes Maazaoui, Professor in the Department of Languages and Literature, at Lincoln University.

The book examines the issues of representation, transmission, and circulation of memory, as well as the role of personal, cultural and collective memory in shaping meanings, values, attitudes and identities. It also addresses how dominant narratives of the past are reproduced and challenged. At least one chapter will address the legacy of Lincoln University and its founding vision. The book is slated for publication later this fall.​

Dr. Maazaoui serves as editor of The Lincoln Humanities Journal published annually by the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The peer-reviewed journal is now in its fourth year of publication.

Lincoln University, the nation’s first degree-granting Historically Black College and University (HBCU), educates and empowers students to lead their communities and change the world. Lincoln offers a rigorous liberal arts education to a diverse student body of approximately 2,200 men and women in more than 35 undergraduate and graduate programs.
