In recent years European states have turned toward more austere
political regimes, entailing budget cuts, deregulation of labour
markets, restrictions of welfare systems, securitization of borders
and new regimes of migration and citizenship. In the wake of such
changes, new forms of social inclusion and exclusion appear that
are justified through a reactivation of differences of race, class
and gender. Against this backdrop, this collection investigates
contemporary understandings of history and cultural memory. In
doing so, the reader will join the leading European contributors of
this title in examining how crisis and decline in contemporary
Europe trigger a selective forgetting and remodelling of the past.
Indeed, Austere Histories in European Societies breaks new paths in
scholarship by synthesising and connecting current European debates
on migration, racism and multiculturalism. In addition to this, the
authors present debates on cultural memory and the place of the
colonial legacy within an extensive comparative framework and
across the boundaries of the humanities and social sciences. This
book will appeal to scholars and students across the social
sciences and humanities, particularly in European studies, memory
studies, sociology, postcolonial studies, migration studies,
European history, cultural policy, cultural heritage, economics and
political theory.
