Owning the Past
epubli (Verlag)
978-3-565-01706-5 (ISBN)
The past feels omnipresent in today's world. Wars are waged and defended in the name of history, while domestic and international politics revolve around struggles over collective memory. This edited volume explores how memory laws and politics contribute to authoritarianism by restricting human rights and reinforcing other populist tools. Focusing on memory's ties to illiberalism, foreign policy, and the digital age, the contributions seek to spark debate on the future viability of memory laws and politics.
