Descriere

How did communities come to terms with the collapse of communism? In order to guide the wider narrative, many former communist countries constructed museums dedicated to chronicling their experiences. Museums of Communism explores the complicated intersection of history, commemoration, and victimization made evident in these museums constructed after 1991. While contributors from a diverse range of fields explore various museums and include nearly 90 photographs, a common denominator emerges: rather than focusing on artifacts and historical documents, these museums often privilege memories and stories. In doing so, the museums shift attention from experiences of guilt or collaboration to narratives of shared victimization under communist rule. As editor Stephen M. Norris demonstrates, these museums are often problematic at best and revisionist at worst. From occupation museums in the Baltic States to memorial museums in Ukraine, former secret police prisons in Romania, and nostalgic museums of everyday life in Russia, the sites considered offer new ways of understanding the challenges of separating memory and myth.

Recenzii

The chapters do present a series of stimulating (and sometimes provocative) case studies about the situation in particular countries. It is a book which will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers with interests in the post-communist world and more broadly in issues of post-communist memory politics.

-- Duncan Light ― Eurasian Geography and Economics

Both empirically and theoretically, this volume manages the rare trick of adding up to much more than the sum of its parts; it is essential reading for all scholars and students of Eastern European memory politics and museology.

-- Polly Jones - University College, Oxford ― The Russian Review
