About this book

This volume addresses the issues of remembering and performing the past in Eastern European ex-communist states in the context of multiplication of the voices of the past. The book analyzes the various ways in which memory and remembrance operate; it does so by using different methods of recollecting the past, from oral history to cultural and historical institutions, and by drawing on various political and cultural theories and concepts. Through well-documented case studies the volume showcases the plurality of approaches available for analyzing the relationship between memory and narrative from an interdisciplinary and international perspective.

Reviews

“This volume is a well-conceived collection of works dealing with the political aspects of historical memory. Simona Mitroiu has meticulously ensured that the individual chapters logically follow one another, but, at the same time, no one chapter overshadows another. The vastness of the range of subjects will benefit scholars and students seeking to understand the many problems of post-Communist East-Central Europe.” (Francis D. Raška, The European Legacy, Vol. 23 (1-2), September, 2017)



“Empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated, this interdisciplinary volume scrutinises heterogeneous forms of memory and the intricate workings of remembrance in the context of post-communist Eastern European societies. … the book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of remembering and is of great significance to academics and practitioners interested in the topic not only in Eastern European but also in other contexts.” (Tanya Narozhna, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 69 (6), 2017)
