The Politics of Regret by Jeffrey K Olick
Olick looks at a range of memory related issues, how catastrophic, terrible pasts Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa are remembered, but he is particularly concerned with the role that memory plays in social structures."Olick's book is imaginative, thorough, and demanding: it sparkles with facts, ideas, concepts, and fascinating historical dynamicsThe presentation is powerful and persuasive. While the books offers one of the most interesting and holistic presentations of collective memory, it goes well beyond it - to the complex meanings of modernity."
-- American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 114, No. 3
