Recenzje

'This is a major contribution to memory studies. In addition to laying out a cutting-edge conceptual framework for the study of collective memory, Liu draws on extensive data sets to provide sophisticated interpretations of several real-world memory projects. It will be a major resource for scholars and policy analysts for years to come.' James V. Wertsch, David R. Francis Distinguished Professor, Washington University, USA, and author of How Nations Remember: A Narrative Approach
