How objective are our history books? This addition to the Writing History series examines the critical role that memory plays in the writing of history.
This book includes:
– Essays from an international team of historians, bringing together analysis of forms of public history such as museums, exhibitions, memorials and speeches
– Coverage of the ancient world to the present, on topics such as oral history and generational and collective memory
– Two key case studies on Holocaust memorialisation and the memory of Communism
