Book Synopsis Local Memories in a Nationalizing and Globalizing World by : M. Beyen
Book excerpt: In historical studies, 'collective memory' is most often viewed as the product of nationalizing strategies carried out by political élites in the hope to create homogeneous nation-states. In contrast, this book asserts that collective memories develop out of a never-ending, triangular negotiation between local, national and transnational actors.
