This book looks at the memory of the communist past in Central and
Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on Bulgaria: its
“official” memory, constructed by institutions, its public
memory, molded by media, rituals, books and films and the urban
environment, and the everyday or ‘vernacular’ memory. It
investigates how the recent past is remembered and the
circumstances upon which this memory is conditioned - how is
communism/socialism construed as a public recollection? Do these
processes differ in the distinct post-communist countries? The
book’s first part traces the institutional and political
dimensions of coping with the communist past and the second part
concentrates on personal reminiscences and vernacular memory. The
book will be of interest for researchers and students in the fields
of memory studies, Central and East European studies, oral history
and contemporary history, as well as for specialists at
institutions of memory and memory activists and organisations.
