Through a series of compelling case studies of conflict and post-conflict collective memory, the book sheds light on the diverse ways in which various actors engage in the production, dissemination, and contestation of memory discourses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book delves into the complexities of vertical and horizontal memory fragmentation, recognizing the existence of multiple diverging and often conflicting memory discourses within the public sphere of a given community. It analyzes the juxtaposition, tensions, and interactions between narratives produced beyond or below the central state, often transcending national boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is organized in a manner that reflects the involvement of different actors in the process of memory fragmentation. It explores how states have attempted to produce and impose memory discourses on civil societies, sometimes even at the expense of their own citizens' experiences. This exploration highlights the power dynamics at play and the challenges faced by states in reasserting control over national memory discourses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the book considers the responses and resistances from actors below and beyond the state to these attempts. It examines the ways in which individuals, communities, and social movements have challenged and subverted state-sanctioned narratives, leading to horizontal and vertical memory fragmentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is of significant interest to sociology and political science scholars who are engaged in the study of memory in post-conflict societies. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of memory production, dissemination, and contestation, providing a rich foundation for further research and analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 532g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 240 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367706210\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46004689404154,"sku":"9780367706210","price":141.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1715965416707_book.jpg?v=1716038318","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/memory-fragmentation-from-below-and-beyond-the-state-uses-of-the-past-in-conflict-and-postconflict-settings-9780367706210","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
