Erasure

Erasure refers to the act of removing or eliminating something, often with a focus on knowledge, history, or identity. In various contexts, it can mean disregarding or neglecting certain facts, experiences, or perspectives, typically of marginalized groups. This can occur in education, media, and social discussions, leading to a distorted understanding of history or culture. Erasure highlights the importance of recognizing diverse voices and experiences to foster a more inclusive narrative and prevent the loss of important information or perspectives from society's collective memory.
