During the last few decades there has been a growing recognition of
the great role that remembering and collective memory play in
forming the historical awareness. In addition, the dominant
national form of history writing also met some challenges on the
side of a transnational approach to the past. In A Nation Divided
by History and Memory, a prominent Hungarian historian sheds light
on how Hungary's historical image has become split as a consequence
of the differences between the historian's conceptualisation of
national history and its diverse representations in personal and
collective memory. The book focuses on the shocking experiences and
the intense memorial reactions generated by a few key historical
events and the way in which they have been interpreted by the
historical scholarship. The argument of A Nation Divided by History
and Memory is placed into the context of an international
historical discourse. This pioneering work is essential and
enlightening reading for all historians, many sociologists,
political scientists, social psychologists and university students.
