商品簡介
This collection of essays explores how history and national memory in Eastern Europe, but also Turkey, Japan and Germany, have been used as political tools or else the site of contestation. They consider how Germans regard their National Socialist past, nationalizing history in the Ukraine, the politics of memory and historical policy in post-Soviet Moldova, remembering Turkey's war of liberation, and the politics of history in contemporary Japan. The contributors are professors of history, political science and economics from Canada, Europe and Japan. Distributed by Books International.
