How does the historian approach memory? How do historians use different sources to analyse how history and memory interact and impact on each other? Memory and History explores the different aspects of the study of these questions. Taking examples fom Europe, Australia, the USA and Japan and treating periods beyond living memory as well as the recent past, the volume highlights the contours of the current vogue for memory while demonstrating the diversity and imagination of the field. This volume will be essential reading for students of history and memory, providing an accessible guide to the topic through a focus on varied source materials.
