Summary: Very useful collection of essays
Comment: This excellent collection of essays is the result of an Advanced Seminar held at the School of American Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The contributors include eminent anthropologists and historians writing on various strategies of remembering history counter to the party line in China, Mongolia, Georgia, Czechoslovakia, and former Yugoslavia. Each article presents a fascinating case study of how groups and individuals use metaphor and other linguistic subterfuges to remember and express their own version of taboo events and historical personalities. Although not theoretically challenging, this work is a significant contribution to understanding the process of intellectual resistance to state-centralized thought control.
