Historical revisionism, far from being restricted to small groups
of 'negationists, ' has galvanized debates in the realm of recent
history. The studies in this book range from general accounts of
the background of recent historical revisionism to focused analyses
of particular debates or social-cultural phenomena in individual
Central European countries, from Germany to Ukraine and Estonia.
Where is the borderline between legitimate re-examination of
historical interpretations and attempts to rewrite history in a
politically motivated way that downgrades or denies essential
historical facts? How do the traditional 'national historical
narratives' react to the 'spill-over' of international and
political controversies into their 'sphere of influence'?
Technological progress, along with the overall social and cultural
decentralization shatters the old hierarchies of academic
historical knowledge under the banner of culture of memory, and
breeds an unequalled democratization in historical representation.
This book offers a unique approach based on the provocative and
instigating intersection of scholarly research, its political
appropriations, and social reflection from a representative sample
of Central and East European countries.
