In April 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped almost three hundred girls attending school in Chibok, Nigeria. The #BringBackOurGirls campaign emerged as a global activist movement in the aftermath of that kidnapping. Onah’s article analyzes the global mediascapes of the campaign to show the mnemonic affordances of the Chibok girls’ kidnapping and the intermedial dynamics that coalesced to make it a global memory phenomenon. By foregrounding the transhistorical and intermedial connections at the core of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, it consolidates the understanding of remediation in memory studies. Consequently, Onah proposes new ways to understand African memorial traditions and testimonial practices in an increasingly hyperconnected world.

2014 年 4 月，博科圣地绑架了尼日利亚奇博克近 300 名上学女孩。绑架事件发生后，#BringBackOurGirls 运动成为一场全球激进运动。奥纳的文章分析了该运动的全球媒体景观，以展示奇博克女孩绑架事件的助记功能，以及联合起来使其成为全球记忆现象的中间动力。通过突出 #BringBackOurGirls 运动核心的跨历史和中间联系，它巩固了对记忆研究补救的理解。因此，奥纳提出了在日益高度互联的世界中理解非洲纪念传统和见证实践的新方法。
