Reviews
'This visceral book offers an immersive exploration of post-terror memory. Drawing on years of ethnography conducted across various European terror sites, Ana Milošević brings us close to the stories of victims and the contested work of memorialisation. Raw, tender, and thought-provoking, with a goldmine of methodological reflections to top off.' Maria Mälksoo, Professor of International Relations, University of Copenhagen 'Provocative and intellectually stimulating, this important study by an outstanding expert in the field is a must-read for anyone interested in the consequences of terrorism for contemporary societies. It takes the reader on a fascinating but painful journey through Western European landscapes of memory, seen through the eyes of those affected by terrorist violence.' Petra Terhoeven, Professor of European Cultural and Contemporary History, University of Göttingen 'What do memorials to terrorist attacks actually do? Does commemoration heal the trauma of survivors, or are public memorials a 'placebo' which ritually enact healing? In this fascinating new sociology of terrorism commemoration, Ana Milosevic explores the dynamics which have led us to memorialise some terrorist attacks, but not others.' Charlotte Heath-Kelly, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick 'Based on an extensive and fascinating fieldwork, Ana Milosevic’s Placebo memory makes a major contribution to the understanding of the social effects of terrorism, what it means and what it costs to be a victim of it, and what memory politics can do about it. If we were to read only one book about victims of terrorism and memory, it would be this one.' Gérôme Truc, Tenured Research Fellow in Sociology, French National Center for Scientific Research 'The Placebo Memory is a bold and thought-provoking analysis of the victims' needs after terrorism. It offers timely and important answers on how we can better understand remembrance and symbolic reparations from the victims' perspective.' Aleksandra Ivankovic, Deputy Director (Victim Support Europe) and Operations Manager (EU Center of Expertise for Victims of Terrorism)
