About this product
Product Information
The author explores contested terrain, where individual memories converge with public remembrance of traumatic events. She argues that memories of World War II, transcend national boundaries, due to the global nature of the war and to the global presence of the Holocaust as a site of collective memory.

Reviews
Suleiman's book results from prolonged reflection going back at least to her autobiographical Budapest Diary (1996). The textual analyses illustrating the evolution of collective memory range chronologically from Sartre's essays on the Occupation to 21st-century works, including novels, essays, memoirs, and documentary and fictional films...Although she cites numerous studies in several languages, from various disciplines, Suleiman's erudition never overpowers or descends to jargon. She poses crucial questions about writing and rewriting, or narrative and generic expectations, debating with other theorists as she does so. Suleiman has written a beautiful book, one that tackles uncomfortable questions about official myths and commemorations, juridically unforgettable crimes, and Jewish identity versus national assimilation. The adjective 'exhilarating,' which Suleiman uses to describe Elie Wiesel's self-correction in All Rivers Run to the Sea, applies equally to this book. The vast WW II and Holocaust literature has needed a study of this clarity and brilliance. Summing Up: Essential., Suleiman's book results from prolonged reflection going back at least to her autobiographical Budapest Diary (1996). The textual analyses illustrating the evolution of collective memory range chronologically from Sartre's essays on the Occupation to 21st-century works, including novels, essays, memoirs, and documentary and fictional films...Although she cites numerous studies in several languages, from various disciplines, Suleiman's erudition never overpowers or descends to jargon. She poses crucial questions about writing and rewriting, or narrative and generic expectations, debating with other theorists as she does so. Suleiman has written a beautiful book, one that tackles uncomfortable questions about official myths and commemorations, juridically unforgettable crimes, and Jewish identity versus national assimilation. The adjective 'exhilarating,' which Suleiman uses to describe Elie Wiesel's self-correction in All Rivers Run to the Sea , applies equally to this book. The vast WW II and Holocaust literature has needed a study of this clarity and brilliance. Summing Up: Essential., Suleiman's book offers us no sure way of overcoming "crises of memory," but it admirably succeeds in guiding us through a memory landscape that is still (or again) littered with explosive underground mines., Suleiman's erudite and elegant essays display a profound understanding of the complexities of memory.
