Abstract
- Scholars of nationalism knew about the role of memory and forgetting in nation building long before the contemporary boom of memory studies. Still, they can learn a lot from this relatively new research field. This article offers an overview of the literature on the politics of memory, focusing on different patterns of dealing with a dark past of genocides, civil wars, and political repressions, on the one hand, and on the observations derived from the recent so-called "memory wars" in Europe, on the other. Both issues elucidate a persistent role of nationalism in the contemporary world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
