In this compelling study, Maria Theresia Starzmann and John Roby
bring together an international cast of experts who move beyond the
traditional framework of the ""constructed past"" to look at not
only how the past is remembered but also who remembers it. They
convincingly argue that memory is a complex process, shaped by
remembering and forgetting, inscription and erasure, presence and
absence. Collective memory influences which stories are told over
others, ultimately shaping narratives about identity, family, and
culture. This interdisciplinary volume-melding anthropology,
archaeology, sociology, history, philosophy, literature, and
archival studies-explores such diverse arenas as archaeological
objects, human remains, colonial landscapes, public protests,
national memorials, art installations, testimonies, and even
digital space as places of memory. Examining important sites of
memory, including the Victory Memorial to Soviet Army, Blair
Mountain, Spanish penitentiaries, African shrines, and the
U.S.-Mexico borderlands, the contributors highlight the myriad ways
communities reinforce or reinterpret their pasts.
