States of Memory Continuities, Conflicts, and Transformations in National Retrospection

"An old Yugoslav aphorism goes: 'The future is not hard to predict, but the past is forever changing.' The essays gathered in this volume all deal in one way or another with the way people organize their collective memories of a past, and particularly a national past. The range of topics is remarkable, and the essays themselves are uniformly excellent-beginning with Jeffrey K. Olick's masterful introduction."-Kai Erikson, author ofA New Species of Trouble: The Human Experience of Modern DisastersOlick, Jeffrey K. is the author of 'States of Memory Continuities, Conflicts, and Transformations in National Retrospection', published 2003 under ISBN 9780822330639 and ISBN 0822330636.
