Reviews
This collection provides an extensive historical and theoretical framework for the study of memory. It traces the exciting history of the philosophical problematisation of memory as well as its insistent and urgent demand to be recognized and defined.
This reader does a superb job in defining and presenting some of the most interesting work currently being done on the forms and the uses of personal and historical memory.
