商品簡介
This collection of 12 essays closely examines the trajectory of revisionism, focusing on analysis of conditions in Central European states from Germany to Ukraine and Estonia. With the sure knowledge that the end of the Cold War and new technologies have brought democratization, or at least the potential for it, to academia, contributors cover the evidential evidence for historiographic revision and, the legal limits of historical interpretation, the argument whether historical revisionism is real or just re-dressed, the anti-fascist myth of the German Democratic Republic, the politics of national memory in the Czech Republic, creating Slovak and Hungarian memories, revisionism and the 1956 Hungarian rising, Poland's historians face politics and Ukraine's historian face famine, and the struggle for official recognition of the displaced in modern Estonia.
