This contribution deals with the invisibility of migration history in the memory landscape of Austria. We discuss the collective amnesia and the social marginalisation of migration histories, especially the history of labour migration since the 1960s in Austrian archives and museums as well as in public space. Drawing on transnational perspectives on history and space and insights from postcolonial theory, we understand the plea for visibility and audibility of migrant stories as a basic plea for equality and acceptance in our society. We argue for the necessity of integrating migration history as an integral part of Austrian history in a transnational perspective to do justice to the everyday plurality of the current Austrian society.
Keywords: migration, remembrance culture, historiography, public space, transnationalism
