Reviews for Memory and Change in Europe: Eastern Perspectives
[This volume] addresses memory and cultural transformations from an eastern point of view... [and] illuminates very different aspects of the problems Eastern European researchers face identifying national crossroads of diverging memories and the necessity of coming to terms with a surfeit of memories which had not hitherto been publicly articulated or acknowledged.
