Description
History, Memory and Public Life explores how historical expertise shapes our understanding of the past and its relevance to contemporary public discourse.
The book examines two key aspects of historical memory studies: theoretical approaches and practical applications. It considers methodological and theoretical issues within the field, such as postcolonialism and memorialisation, before looking at history and memory in practice through case studies on contested memories, including the Northern Ireland Troubles and post-apartheid South Africa.
Supported by guidance on further reading and online resources, this book is ideal for students of history and those working within the interdisciplinary field of memory studies.
