How do the spaces of the past stay with us through
representations-whether literary or photographic? How has the
Holocaust registered in our increasingly globally connected
consciousness? What does it mean that this European event is often
used as an interpretive or representational touchstone for
genocides and traumas globally? In this interdisciplinary study,
Kaplan asks and attempts to answer these questions by looking at
historically and geographically diverse spaces, photographs, and
texts concerned with the physical and/or mental landscape of the
Holocaust and its transformations from the postwar period to the
early twenty-first century. Examining the intersections of
landscape, postmemory, and trauma, Kaplan's text offers a
significant contribution to our understanding of the spatial,
visual, and literary reach of the Holocaust.

Jewish Anxiety and the Novels of Philip Roth argues that Roth's
novels teach us that Jewish anxiety stems not only from fear of
victimization but also from fear of perpetration. It is impossible
to think about Jewish victimization without thinking about the
Holocaust; and it is impossible to think about the taboo question
of Jewish perpetration without thinking about Israel. Roth's texts
explore the Israel-Palestine question and the Holocaust with
varying degrees of intensity but all his novels scrutinize
perpetration and victimization through examining racism and sexism
in America. Brett Ashley Kaplan uses Roth's novels as springboards
to illuminate larger problems of victimization and perpetration;
masculinity, femininity, and gender; racism and anti-Semitism. For
if, as Kaplan argues, Jewish anxiety is not only about the fear of
oppression, and we can begin to see how these anxieties function in
terms of fears of perpetration, then perhaps we can begin to unpack
the complicated dynamics around the line between the Holocaust and
Israel-Palestine.
Bringing together a diverse array of new and established scholars
and creative writers in the rapidly expanding field of memory
studies, this collection creatively delves into the multiple
aspects of this wide-ranging field. Contributors explore race-ing
memory; environmental studies and memory; digital memory;
monuments, memorials, and museums; and memory and trauma. Organised
around 7 sections, this book examines memory in a global context,
from Kashmir and Chile to the US and UK. Featuring contributions on
topics such as the Black Lives Matter movement; the AIDS crisis;
and memory and the anthropocene, this book traces and consolidates
the field while analysing and charting some of the most current and
cutting-edge work, as well as new directions that could be taken.
