This collection provides an introduction to the multiple uses of
history in contemporary political debate and conflict, for
introductory and advanced courses in comparative politics and
contemporary world history. As communities reimagine themselves, a
contest over defining legitimacy, identifying us and others, and
jockeying for political control intersects with fights over history
and memory. Here distinguished scholars examine how competing
versions of national identity are legitimized through appeals to
carefully constructed "pasts" both in democracies and in repressive
regimes. The essays focus on the cases of Armenia, Chile, Spain,
Germany, India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, Japan, Nigeria,
and the United States to draw broader conclusions about the
worldwide effect of traumatic memory, questions of punishment and
restitution, and the instrumentalization of the past for political
purposes.

Intense, dramatic, and unerring, Triumph Through Trial: The Untold Story Behind the Canonization of Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska by new author Joe Kenney proves to be an engaging and incomparable tale of strength, character and faith. Based on a true story, this biography weaves firsthand accounts with journal entries and anecdotes, intimately blending stories of the Kulhan Family, the canonization of Saint Faustina, the miraculous healing of Father Ronald Pytel, and the message of God's Divine Mercy. Each separate account is synchronized in a touching story of love, faith, and determination. Written in a plainspoken and easily read prose, the narrative is contemplative and at times surreal. Ultimately, an encouraging and epic tale to inspire others who struggle against seemingly hopeless odds-this story believes in miracles, in fact, it relies on them. Here is proof that God continues to shape the Universe with a tender hand.
