Whose Memory? Which Future? : Remembering Ethnic Cleansing and Lost Cultural Diversity in Eastern, Central and Southeastern Europe, Paperback / softback Book

Whose Memory? Which Future? : Remembering Ethnic Cleansing and Lost Cultural Diversity in Eastern, Central and Southeastern Europe Paperback / softback

Edited by Barbara Tornquist-Plewa

Part of the Studies in Contemporary European History series

Paperback / softback

Description

Scholars have devoted considerable energy to understanding the history of ethnic cleansing in Europe, reconstructing specific events, state policies, and the lived experiences of victims.

Yet much less attention has been given to how these incidents persist in collective memory today.

This volume brings together interdisciplinary case studies conducted in Central and Eastern European cities, exploring how present-day inhabitants “remember” past instances of ethnic cleansing, and how they understand the cultural heritage of groups that vanished in their wake.

Together these contributions offer insights into more universal questions of collective memory and the formation of national identity.
