In an engaging and original contribution to the field of memory
studies, Joy Damousi considers the enduring impact of war on family
memory in the Greek diaspora. Focusing on Australia's Greek
immigrants in the aftermath of the Second World War and the Greek
Civil War, the book explores the concept of remembrance within the
larger context of migration to show how intergenerational
experience of war and trauma transcend both place and nation.
Drawing from the most recent research in memory, trauma and
transnationalism, Memory and Migration in the Shadow of War deals
with the continuities and discontinuities of war stories,
assimilation in modern Australia, politics and activism, child
migration and memories of mothers and children in war. Damousi
sheds new light on aspects of forgotten memory and silence within
families and communities, and in particular the ways in which past
experience of violence and tragedy is both negotiated and
processed.
