History, Memory and Public Life introduces readers to key themes in
the study of historical memory and its significance by considering
the role of historical expertise and understanding in contemporary
public reflection on the past. Divided into two parts, the book
addresses both the theoretical and applied aspects of historical
memory studies. 'Approaches to history and memory' introduces key
methodological and theoretical issues within the field, such as
postcolonialism, sites of memory, myths of national origins, and
questions raised by memorialisation and museum presentation.
'Difficult pasts' looks at history and memory in practice through a
range of case studies on contested, complex or traumatic memories,
including the Northern Ireland Troubles, post-apartheid South
Africa and the Holocaust. Examining the intersection between
history and memory from a wide range of perspectives, and supported
by guidance on further reading and online resources, this book is
ideal for students of history as well as those working within the
broad interdisciplinary field of memory studies.
