Reviews

"""This revolutionary book goes back to the long-forgotten origin of memory studies by considering people's economic situations as the main frameworks of remembrance. It draws a very much needed and urgent agenda not only for Eastern Europe but for the whole world."" - Sarah Gensburger, French National Center for Scientific Research - Sciences Po Paris"
