Local Memories in a Nationalizing and Globalizing World

Book Overview

In historical studies, 'collective memory' is most often viewed as the product of nationalizing strategies carried out by political ?lites in the hope to create homogeneous nation-states. In contrast, this book asserts that collective memories develop out of a never-ending, triangular negotiation between local, national and transnational actors.
