The essays in this collection explore both how the employment of
nation-state dominated discourses have caused a re-imagination of
the past, and how the past has been re-constructed to accord with
nationalist agendas. Although other works have considered in
general terms how nations are imagined, this collection takes a
different stance and specifically focuses on how 'the past' is used
in such imaginations. This collection was conceived in an
interdisciplinary spirit, drawing insights from art history,
intellectual history, literature, archaeology, heritage studies,
political science, and film studies. The authors combine a
sophisticated theoretical approach with illuminative case studies
from all across the globe, including the Balkans, South Africa,
Rwanda, the Yemen, Italy, Turkey, Greece, and Uzbekistan.
