Mental and material reconstruction was an ongoing process after
World War II, and it still is. This volume combines a detailed
treatment of post-war cultural reconstruction in Finnish Lapland -
a region on the geographical and historical margins of its
nation-state - with comparative case studies of silent post-war
memory from other European countries The contributors shed light on
key aspects of cultural reconstruction generally: disruptions of
national narratives, difficulties of post-war cultural
demobilisation, sites of memory, visual narratives of post-war
reconstruction, and manifestations of trans-generational
experiences of cultural reconstruction. Exploration of the less
conspicuous aspects of mental reconstruction reveals various forms
of post-war silence and silencing which have halted or hindered
different groups of people in their mental return to peace. Rather
than focusing on the "executive level" of material reconstruction,
the volume turns its gaze towards those who experienced the return
to peace in the mental, societal, and historical margins: members
of ethnic, religious, and cultural minorities, women, and children.
The chapters draw on archival and other original sources, personal
memories, autobiographical interpretations, and academic debate.
The volume is relevant for scholars and advanced students in the
fields of cultural history, art history, and cultural studies.
