Description

Over five sections, this richly illustrated volume considers case studies of Cold War remembering from different parts of the world, and engages with growing theorisation in the field of memory studies, specifically in relation to war. David Lowe and Tony Joel afford careful consideration to agencies that identify with being 'victims' of the Cold War. In addition, the concept of arenas of articulation, which envelops the myriad spaces in which the remembering, commemorating, memorialising, and even revising of Cold War history takes place, is given prominence.
Reviews / Votes
'Lowe and Joel's thematic approach to remembrance of the Cold War provides an important, and hitherto overlooked, lens upon the epoch defining contest: seemingly ubiquitous, the differing national experiences of the Cold War are expertly considered.'Dr J. Simon Rofe, SOAS, University of London
'Scholarship on historical memory of twentieth century wars and the holocaust have been highly fashionable in the past decade. Remembering the Cold War opens up a vast new field of investigation into the historical memories of the Cold War. The introductory chapter introduces the general reader to the vast theoretical literature on memory studies in easily comprehensible form. The Cold War was a global event and this innovative study covers sites of memory from Vietnam to Australia, from Berlin, Prague and Budapest to California. Numerous pictures taken by the authors of Cold War lieux de memoire add a stunning visual history to this fine text, opening up a fertile new field of study. This book is a must read.'
Dr Guenter Bischof, University of New Orleans, USA
'Remembering the Cold War is an accessible and innovative exploration of the ways that this extraordinary era in world politics is evoked and recast in our contemporary moment. The book is unique in its approach to the Cold War as an object of our common memories. It is a timely and welcome contribution to the general field of Memory Studies.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
