Edkins, Jenny : TRAUMA AND THE MEMORY OF POLITICS

Cambridge University Press, 2003

ISBN 9780521534208

A tight clean copy, no markings throughout. Jenny Edkins explores how we remember traumatic events such as wars, famines, genocides and terrorism. She argues that remembrance does not have to be nationalistic but can instead challenge the political systems that produced the violence. Using examples from the World Wars, Vietnam, the Holocaust, Kosovo and September 11th, Edkins analyzes the practices of memory rituals through memorials, museums and remembrance ceremonies. This wide-ranging study embraces literature, history, politics and international relations, in an original contribution to the study of memory., Near Fine
