This interdisciplinary study explores collective memory as it is
presented by official producers (such as textbooks and media) and
reflected by consumers (group members). Focusing on a case study of
Russians and Russian immigrants to the USA and their memories of
seminal events in the twentieth-century Russian collective past,
Isurin shows how autobiographical memory contributes to the
formation of collective memory, and also examines how the memory of
the shared past is reconstructed by those who stayed with the group
and those who left. By bringing together historical,
anthropological, and psychological approaches, Collective
Remembering provides a new theoretical framework for memory studies
that incorporates both content analysis of texts and empirical data
from human participants, thus demonstrating that methodologies from
the humanities and the social sciences can complement each other to
create a better understanding of how memory works in the world and
in the mind.
