Description

Global Memoryscapes Contesting Remembrance in a Transnational Age by Kendall R. Phillips and G. Mitchell Reyes explores how collective memories are redefined in a world where traditional nation-states no longer hold sway. This collection of essays examines the challenges of remembrance in a globalized world, considering topics such as nostalgia, national identity, and the role of media in shaping public memory. Scholars from diverse disciplines contribute to this volume, each engaging with specific instances of how globalization complicates practices of memory. The essays cover a range of subjects, including post-Yugoslavia Serbian national memory, Russian identity after the Soviet Union's collapse, and debates over memorializing Japanese internment camps in America. By examining these complex networks of remembrance, Global Memoryscapes sheds light on the ways in which globalization affects our understanding of public memory and collective identity.
