"This is an innovative, well structured and balanced collection of
essays which presents a survey of theories and case studies
underpinning the burgeoning field of memory studies. It addresses
the 'big issues' including witnessing, trauma, memorials, the
relation between personal and public memory, and generational
transmission." . Peter Carrier, author of HOLOCAUST MONUMENTS AND
NATIONAL MEMORY
"This is an excellent collection of essays." . Peter Lawson,
Open University, London
Memory studies has become a rapidly growing area of scholarly as
well as public interest. This volume brings together world experts
to explore the current critical trends in this new academic field.
It embraces work on diverse but interconnected phenomena, such as
twenty-first century museums, shocking memorials in present-day
Rwanda and the firsthand testimony of the victims of genocidal
conflicts. The collection engages with pressing 'real world'
issues, such as the furor around the recent 9/11 memorial, and what
we really mean when we talk about 'trauma'.
