How Nations Remember draws on multiple disciplines in the
humanities and social sciences to examine how a nation's account of
the past shapes its actions in the present. National memory can
underwrite noble aspirations, but the volume focuses largely on how
it contributes to the negative tendencies of nationalism that give
rise to confrontation. Narratives are taken as units of analysis
for examining the psychological and cultural dimensions of
remembering particular events and also for understanding the
schematic codes and mental habits that underlie national memory
more generally. In this account, narratives are approached as tools
that shape the views of members of national communities to such an
extent that they serve as co-authors of what people say and think.
Drawing on illustrations from Russia, China, Georgia, the United
States, and elsewhere, the book examines how "narrative templates,"
"narrative dialogism," and "privileged event narratives" shape
nations' views of themselves and their relations with others. The
volume concludes with a list of ways to manage the disputes that
pit one national community against another.
