This book provides novel and critical insights into the complex relationship between politics of memory and oblivion in European countries in the 20th and early 21st centuries as well as the cultural political and institutional backgrounds against which they function.

The chapters of this volume bring together theoretical discussions on the interrelationship between remembrance and purposeful oblivion as active processes that serve particular interests and ideologies in the present. By addressing the diverse meanings given to practices of memory the contributions offer new perspectives on how institutions shape cultural memory power relations and identity projects. Politics of Memory and Oblivion in the European Context: Critical Perspectives will be of interest to scholars and graduate students from the fields of memory studies heritage studies cultural studies history and political science who engage with the legacies of violent and traumatic pasts post-colonial contexts societal transition and reconciliation.
