Memory and Change in Europe : Eastern Perspectives, Hardback Book

Memory and Change in Europe : Eastern Perspectives Hardback

Edited by Małgorzata Pakier, Joanna Wawrzyniak

Part of the Studies in Contemporary European History series

Hardback

Description

In studies of a common European past, there is a significant lack of scholarship on the former Eastern Bloc countries.

While understanding the importance of shifting the focus of European memory eastward, contributors to this volume avoid the trap of Eastern European exceptionalism, an assumption that this region’s experiences are too unique to render them comparable to the rest of Europe.

They offer a reflection on memory from an Eastern European historical perspective, one that can be measured against, or applied to, historical experience in other parts of Europe.

In this way, the authors situate studies on memory in Eastern Europe within the broader debate on European memory.
