Conflicted memories
Despite the growing interest in general European history, the European dimension is surprisingly absent from the writing of contemporary history. In most countries, the historiography on the 20th century continues to be dominated by national perspectives. Although there is cross-national work on specific topics such as occupation or resistance, transnational conceptions and narratives of contemporary European history have yet to be worked out. This volume focuses on the development of a shared conception of recent European history that will be required as an underpinning for further economic and political integration so as to make lasting cooperation on the old continent possible. It tries to overcome the traditional national framing that ironically persists just at a time when organized efforts to transform Europe from an object of debate to an actual subject have some chance of succeeding in making it into a polity in its own right.

Marking evil
Talking about the Holocaust has provided an international language for ethics, victimization, political claims, and constructions of collective identity. As part of a worldwide vocabulary, that language helps set the tenor of the era of globalization. This volume addresses manifestations of Holocaust-engendered global discourse by critically examining their function and inherent dilemmas, and the ways in which Holocaust-related matters still instigate public debate and academic deliberation. It contends that the contradiction between the totalizing logic of globalization and the assumed uniqueness of the Holocaust generates continued intellectual and practical discontent.

Mass dictatorship and memory as ever present past
\"The landscape of memory studies has been transformed by a growing consciousness of global interconnectedness and the politics of human rights. The essays in this volume of the Mass Dictatorship project explore the entangled pasts of dictatorships, the tensions between de-territorializing and re-territorializing memories, and the competitive construction of memories of the intersubjective past from a world-wide perspective. Written from a variety of differing historical perspectives, cultural positions, and disciplinary backgrounds, the collection searches for historical accountability across the generations of the post-war era\"--Publisher's website.

The Future of the Soviet Past
In post-Soviet Russia, there is a persistent trend to
repress, control, or even co-opt national history. By reshaping
memory to suit a politically convenient narrative, Russia has
fashioned a good future out of a \"bad past.\"
While Putin's regime has acquired nearly complete control over
interpretations of the past, The Future of the Soviet Past
reveals that Russia's inability to fully rewrite its Soviet history
plays an essential part in its current political agenda. Diverse
contributors consider the many ways in which public narrative
shapes Russian culture-from cinema, television, and music to
museums, legislature, and education-as well as how patriotism
reflected in these forms of culture implies a casual acceptance of
the valorization of Stalin and his role in World War II.
The Future of the Soviet Past provides effective and
nuanced examples of how Russia has reimagined its Soviet history as
well as how that past still influences Russia's policymaking.
