Reviews

Empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated, this interdisciplinary volume scrutinises heterogeneous forms of memory and the intricate workings of remembrance in the context of post-communist Eastern European societies. ... the book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of remembering and is of great significance to academics and practitioners interested in the topic not only in Eastern European but also in other contexts. (Tanya Narozhna, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 69 (6), 2017)
