本文着眼于历史记忆和纪念的作用,探讨了20世纪后期美国印第安人运动(AIM)与威尔士民族主义者之间的思想和策略交流。虽然这些联系似乎出乎意料,但它们是两个组织之间更大联系的一部分,在这个故事中,他们分享信息,支持彼此的竞选活动。尽管所涉及的运动之间存在差异,但这些活动家通过共同的殖民主义经历而联系在一起;特别是他们的历史没有被记住。本文主张通过他们涉及纪念的抗议活动的跨国影响来重新评估AIM的遗产。AIM的反纪念活动不仅塑造了一些威尔士民族主义团体使用的历史记忆策略,而且这些威尔士活动家反过来利用AIM的历史记忆来提高对自己事业的认识。因此,本文揭示了美国印第安人运动影响威尔士民族主义的一些复杂而多样的方式。
Focusing on the role of historical memory and commemoration, this article explores the exchange of ideology and strategy between the American Indian Movement (AIM) and Welsh nationalists in the late twentieth-century. While these links might seem unexpected, they are part of a larger story of connections between the two groups, in which they shared information and supported each other’s campaigns. Despite the differences between the movements involved, these activists bonded through shared experiences of colonialism; their histories, in particular, were not being remembered. This article  argues for a re-evaluation of AIM’s legacy through the transnational effects of their protests involving remembrance. AIM’s use of counter-commemorations not only shaped the tactics of historical remembering used by some Welsh nationalist groups but these Welsh activists, in turn, used the historical memory of AIM to raise awareness of their own causes. This article, therefore, uncovers some of the complicated and diverse ways that the American Indian Movement has influenced Welsh nationalism.
