This book brings together new perspectives on collective memory in
the modern Muslim world. It discusses how memory cultures are
established and used at national levels - in official history
writing, through the erection of monuments, the fashioning of
educational curricula and through media strategies - as well as in
the interface with both artistic expressions and popular culture in
the Muslim world at large. The representations of collective memory
have been one of the foremost tools in national identity politics,
grass-root mobilization, theological debates over Islam and general
discussions on what constitutes 'the modern in the Middle East' as
well as in Muslim diaspora environments. Few, if any, contemporary
conflicts in the region can be understood in depth without a
certain focus on various uses of history, memory cultures and
religious meta-narratives at all societal levels, and in art and
literature. This book will be of use to students and scholars in
the fields of Identity Politics, Islamic Studies, Media and
Cultural Anthropology.
